High Voltage

Source: Eberhard Sengpiel

Did you ever pee onto an electrical pasture fence? Just to find out? Stupid me did. 🤪 Of course nothing happened, and boy am I glad today. But how come, 40000 Volts in these fences do give your inner guts a nice trip on a roller coaster, but do not kill you right off the bat? ⚡️

Did you sleep during your physics and electrical engineering classes? I did not, nevertheless I remember only a fraction of the things, I was teached back then. Earlier. In the stone age.

Need a refresher? Here you go. Alan Wolfe sheds a lot of light into that not so juicy (or especially juicy) topic.

Entertaining and precise.
