If one stands on a plastic chair and then somehow runs even 500,000 volt through themselves they wont get electrocuted as they are not grounded, the circuit is not closed.
BUT what i dont understand is where does this electricity go? If you touch the high voltage wire etc then that voltage will surely hit your body? I understand if you do the same but are standing on a metal floor the electricity will then be a closed circuit and go through your body..BUT as said where does it go when open?
Birds can sit on electric wires and not get electrocuted but how is this?

Surely the electricity would go through your body then hit the rubber shoes etc then end? But it would still be going through your body
I want to make my own computer, using materials in my garden..i need to create electricity and such but i dont want electrocuted
Such as if you have a metal screwdriver with a plastic handle, you are not gonna get electrocuted putting it in plug socket as the electricity wont travel through the plastic handle.
BUT if you put your finger in plug socket wet and have plastic shoes on then the electrical signal wont stop until it reaches your shoes right? By this time the electricity has passed through your body.
BUT people are saying the fact yo are wearing plastic shoes will prevent electric shock completely..BUT i dont get that fact...Ill illustrae my point
you see electricity stops as it hits plastic handle and boots, this is correct? But then electricity has still gone through body.
I see so you are saying the electricity wont even start the journey into the non grounded body.
But i dont get how it can know that its not grounded? And why cant electricity flow through a non grounded person anwyay
Its like there is no destination, there is no opposite or weaker charge area to attract the electricity so it has no reason to go through that body...There is no signal or pull from the other end to bring it into the body...So the electricity just bypass it.
Thats kinda cool and mad to think that one could like float in air and grab a power line no probs haha.
But if your finger was wet or something the electricty would then conduct through the water on your body?
So if you had say wet hair it would conduct?
stole my line lol
You should be an artist
i'm no electrician,but you will need a very thick rubber shoe to not get electrocuted
The pump offers extra protection
are you drunk?
you might have been terrible on the old forums but I'm starting to like you a bit more only because of that grav
Nah, son - I made this on MS Paint last year.
