Do you smell ions?NO just bloody cold
You can generally smell them if it is an ion wind.NO only if sparks
Don't electrocute yourself trying to smell ions now. No burning skin smell
Oh oh oh.. whoops it doesn't have to be ions.. water is diamagnetic
and is repulsive against a magnetic field, but that does not
explain the "wind" effect upon the water going away.. unless
the magnetic field weakens when the spark starts?
But the isn't a magnetic field unless the current if flowing, right? I dont now
