Broadcasting Electricity, The Avengers and Now


When I was a kid I used to watch re-runs of the the British import series the Avengers.(I think on New York's WOR TV ? Please help me readers.)
One episode in particular has stayed with me, in it the bad guy wore rubber boots and special gloves and sent lethal doses of electricity through the air. I didn't remember the name but I looked it up: "The Positive Negative Man."
It was the announcement of discovery of scientists this week of the ability to actually transmit electricity that prompted this post.
Be careful Emma!
Later,
