If anyone has a sense of history and they look at the publication date, they will ask "Why did they hold this during the middle of a pandemic?" The obvious answer - that it was held before the pandemic - won't be obvious to some. So, you post the clarifying comment to avoid needing to do something like this...

yeah but he only touched it when the other dome was in contact with the first dome, so electrons from the main dome travelled to the earth thru the second dome and didnt affect him. if he wouldve just touched the dome directly he wouldve been electrocuted.

How fast can a jet make it around the world? GlobalFlyer landed at Salina at 19:50 UTC (13:50 CST) on 3 March 2005, having completed its circumnavigation in 2 days, 19 hours, 1 minute and 46 seconds. As of 2019, this is the fastest world trip in its class at a speed of 550.78 km/h. The light takes roughly 130 ms to travel around the earth - that is seven and a half times round per second.

Electricity doesn't pick the easier way. Instead the least resistance draws the highest current. And the purpose of ground is to draw high current so the circuit breaker kicks in when the safety of conductive casing is compromised.

In space? Like, in vacuum? Well, for starters, with the same tools, it would be a very quick presentation as the presenter would quickly die. And, the Van de Graaff wouldn't do nearly as much as it depends on the resistivity of the air to allow charges to collect on its dome.

How come the plastic pieces still repelled each other after putting the nail between them? The nail is a conductor and so are you so how come they didn’t lose their negative charge when you did that? Was the current too slow to discharge the static electricity?

@JeffersonLab 9 ай бұрын

The nail is a conductor, but the plastic isn't. Touching the nail to the plastic doesn't allow for the bulk of the charge to move to ground. If a charge happens to be somewhere other than where the nail is touching, it's difficult for it to move through the plastic to get to the nail. So, the plastic remains charged, even when the nail is placed between them.
