Someone I know has a bathroom that is not GFCI compliant, and I was wondering if it is possible to have a shower that’s humid enough to allow electricity to transfer, or would at that point would the air be inhospitable to breathe in.

    ElectroBOOM has a good video related to your question. He’s demonstrating with a bucket of water rather than humid air but it shows what’s needed to complete the circuit.

    Please do not try this at home.

      that makes sense, that video was very educational, I didn’t realize that it wasn’t the water itself that was conductive but the contents in the water. Knowing that, it does make a bit more sense.

        Yeah I remember when I learned about that and feeling like Pokemon had lied to me. Water isn’t weak against electric!
