Do you think this is a viable way to recharge 12v batteries? It interests me.

Moody Blues circa '68. Have everything they ever made, all the albums. Been to countless Moody Blues concerts too. :)

I absolutely love the Moody Blues! Although I've never been fortunate enough to see them live. :( I think they are one of the most underrated groups in the history of popular music but that is just my personal opinion.

Just touching the high voltage rock won't kill you. But if, in the act of touching it, you let it fall on you, then in might. When you touch a high voltage power line that, in and of itself, will not end your life. Line maintenance workers do it frequently. But they are careful not to let touching the line produce any significant current through their body -- they make sure not to dislodge the rock from the cliff.
We had an ice storm way back and a block away from the home I lived in back then some power lines fell. The lineman came in contact with a wire he apparently thought was dead. It wasn't but he is. They covered him up with some sort of trash bag looking thing until he was properly escorted to the county morgue.

Yep. There was a "Non Sequitur" comic strip from back when I was in junior high that I still have in my files. It showed a P-40 in a power dive with the caption, "Poor judgment is not illegal. And it's not immoral. But it can be slightly fatal."
