"Uh... I should read the link, I'm going to need some context on that.
I
know from a training video related by a colleague at Los Alamos
National
Lab that if you put your hand across the terminals of one of those big
25
kV capacitors you won't be electrocuted-- your hand will explode.
"
Well that would be a mind blowing experience. Sorry couldn't resist.

But what would happen if I just put my hand in-between them? Assuming
for the moment that it is possible to fit my hand between the terminals
with out touching either one. My hand would have a very strong
Electric field through it, but as long as there was no arc from the
capacitor wouldn't the electrical current in my hand be limited to
almost entirely ion movement. Rather then Free electron movement?
This is what I picture when looking at the case of a strong electric
field caused by a changing magnetic field.
