Does anyone with a long memory remember James Burke on Tommorows
World demonstrating an early ELCB by touching an exposed live terminal?

Cannot remember that but I do recall a demonstration of some water
repellant sprayed liberally into an electric drill.
It may not have been T/World and the demonstration was not undertaken
by a TV presenter. They looked on while the chap demonstrating the
product held the drill running underwater in an aquarium.It did not
have any fish in it.

I remember the electric drill demonstration also. I'm sure it was
Tomorrows World which I used to watch regularly. I remember being
absolutely amazed and still cannot understand how the "water
repellant", if that's what it was, worked, and why it was never
developed commercially. Does anyone have any ideas?
