This video is first of my Electricity: Facts & Myths. In it I explore why electricity does not harm a bird on a wire but will kill a man walking too near a down power line. Demonstration of why involves lighting a LED with a hot dog while it is being energized by 110 volts. Please Note. I have worked for decades with High Voltage and don't recommend that you try to repeat my demonstrations. They can kill and/or cause property damage.
