This is an excellent analysis of a problem that has probably caused incidents of death that were attributed to simple drowning without discovery of the responsible voltage gradient. For years I've promised myself I would build a voltage gradient detector that could work on both land in the water. I haven't done so but maybe this article will prompt me to work harder on it.
Fallen power lines are usually the cause of voltage gradient deaths-of course lightning both in the water and on land is also responsible. Bob
