@JonPaulDorn Electricity has been used metaphorically to stand in for concepts such as 'power' or 'liveness' or occasionally 'communication' but I don't think it's really the electricity that's being referred to, more its effects or uses.

a straw is actually pneumatic i think. create a vacuum and the atmospheric air pressure affects motion in the liquid.

@raythetse I think you're right, although the same principle would apply.

[raythetse]

@conferencereport yeah, its not at all relevent to what the video is really about. Just a random thought that made it to the comment box. Although now that I think of it, it could also be gravity thats doing the work...

@raythetse  I'm grateful for you comment though; in my video I was searching for the word like 'hydraulic' that meant the action of gasses and couldn't get it. Now it's in there, so many thanks.

People will often use electrical metaphors when referring to psychology and sociology.

[conferencereport]

@Yamikaiba123 They do, but I'm not convinced they are really talking about the electricity itself, more on those effects which do register on the senses, such as 'tingling', 'shock' etc.
