You have to be careful not to get enthusiastic with your dance moves.

I saw a demo like this at the Deustch Museum in Munich. A gentleman in labcoat was hoisted into the air in a round faraday cage while another gentleman explained the process in a deadpan and flicked the switch. I was most impressed at how they avoided any frivolity.

But but … isn’t the point that he didn’t get zapped???

Faraday cage, yeah! We have a few of them in our house. Keeps the EMF down.

This time he was expecting it and didn’t get zapped, unlike the Baghdad Battery episode of MythBusters.

He looked seriously enraged for a moment there and he does not seem like someone who is easy to enrage. I half expected him to take his belt to the kids that day.
