that's a poor misquote
in fact electricity is pretty well understood

davenn said:(NO)
if it were the case, there would be no point wearing the suit
Unbelievable seriously !Sooty said:PS
If (NO), you forgot to explain what IS the point of wearing the suit...
Sooty said:The point of the suit is not to somehow 'stop the occupant's voltage from becoming that of the line'... it's to prevent voltage -gradients- from being created across any part of his body.
I never said it 'penetrated' anything. Believably! Seriously! Read it again - I said it prevents voltage -gradients- from being created across any part of his body.davenn said:Unbelievable seriously !
It is as you stated but maybe you don't believe ... an example of a Faraday shield
The electric field DOES NOT penetrate the suit ... skin effect ensure that
There's a number of www sites that will give you that answer
you continue to contradict yourself ...

Sooty said:So, as he approaches the line, he reaches out with a conducting rod that is connected to his suit. This will bring -the suit's- voltage (and that of the guy inside!)

Right, got it!davenn said:to bring the guy's body inside up to the line voltage ... it MUST penetrate the suit DOH
It is, in fact, perfectly understood. There is no known EM phenomena which cannot be explained with our current EM theory. It can correctly give the outcome of every EM experiment performed to date.b.shahvir said:There's a huge difference between 'pretty well' and 'perfectly'.
