Myknobhurts, have you any idea how a sonic screwdriver works?
In short I am a bit of a ****!
I did suggest that all of you should stand on floorboards in your slippers take off a socket front and try putting the back of your finger on a line circuit conductor, in order to prove to you all that this will result in a nasty shock even upstairs in your house.
I have when necessary worked on live equipment and have tightened bolts on live 230 volt bus bars in an emergency.Unfortunately nobody seems to have taken up the challenge.
That has already been explained to you. The current passing though the neon is 100 times a secod charging and discharging the capacity formed between the body of the person holding the neon screwdriver and any conductive surfaces near by. The current in the neon does give the person "an electric shock" but the current is so small as to be not noticable.The neon screwdriver also allows current to pass through your body when apparently you are not in contact with earth, so is it a mystery or just the damp in the atmosphere?
But he shouldn't keep trying to wind me up all the time he should just answer questions and stick to the facts, "oh you think so do you" and "I doubt it" do not constitute a technical debate.

In short the bloke is a bit of a ****!

With respect Dave you have not answered one question I or others have asked you, in this thread (still on preivious page) or the bondage thread, not one
so how can you expect debate?
To be fair OMS on the IET forums has answered a bucket load of your questions
in this particular thread

Bernard - a bird on a wire is a very long way from the mass of the earth.
Why don't you try putting the back of your finger on an energised line circuit conductor, then you won't have to theorize any more.
Please come back and describe the pain to me so I know that your telling the truth.
Bernard - for god sake just go and try it will you!
But only a few feet away from the other phase wire(s) which although at 11 Kv or more relative to the bird do not form a significant second plate to the small area of the bird's body. But a fat DIYer close to a metal central heating radiator does form a significant capacity.Bernard - a bird on a wire is a very long way from the mass of the earth.

Well I did it recently to prove whether or not an RCD would trip, and it hurt just as much as it always has and the RCD didn't trip and I tested it with a ramp tester.
If you don't think you can hurt yourself, why not try it?
