Inquorate has a energy detection wand which is basically a neon bulb with a single wire attached. (see ref link below)
In circuits being experimented with on this forum, it is known that CFL or neon will light via single wire.
The effect in question:
The CFL or neon will become brighter if :
1) a human touches the unconnected wire of the CFL/neon.
2) a lose and non-grounded wire is connected
3) anything not an insulator touches the unconnected wire.
Like fruits and vegetables
using a folded up piece of paper
to avoid indirect human touching of the wire.
Is this an old known effect dating back before 1900's and was found to happen with static electricity?
If so, does it have a name?
Is there an explanation of what is happening here and please don't
leave out the fruits and vegetables?
Ref link: Inquorate 22 the bell in the video is not required to make the detector work.
