I took this drone shot of our power plant last week for our local utility. It consists of a 8 MW COGEN, 2 type D boilers, and 7 RU's.

My thoughts are that in order for the electricity to determine there is no ground/path it still has to flow through you. So why wouldn't you feel it or get electrocuted? |

Water conducts electricity only because most of it is not pure; it contains dissolved solids. When those solids are dissolved they split into positive and negative ions, and that is what allows it to conduct electricity. |
Oh. I know one more thing. Our new generator weighed 500 ton. You should have seen the rigging on that bitch. Our Steam Generators were ‘Only’ 300 ton.

Would you feel anything in the helicopter? I'm sure you would, but it wouldn't be unpleasant, just perhaps a bit unnerving to n00bs. If you were actually inside the helicopter, you wouldn't feel anything because you are essentially inside of a Faraday cage. The net charge inside a Faraday cage is zero. All the charge is on the outside. |

To AC current, air/vacuum has this property. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity |
In electrical shop in high school, we would put leads on a DC variable power supply and put one in each hand while someone cranked up the juice. We'd see how high it would get before you had to let go. Imagine your whole body feeling like hitting your funny bone in your elbow. You body feels like a giant vibrator.

It's pretty expensive to get that stuff out of water, and even then, there's always ions in water due to auto ionization. One of the ways we measure water purity is with resistance. The system I use will purify water up to 18 MΩ. |

I used to work for a company that sold Reverse Osmosis water purifiers (have one in my kitchen) and we had a contraption to show the before and after RO purification process where we had a light bulb hooked up to a plexiglass tub with electrodes at the end. With regular tap water the bulb would light up. With RO water it wouldn't. The sales guys would even stick their hands in the RO water with the current on. |
