      For me, just plain old electricity, but on a larger scale. When I worked in building energy, we worked with large fans and chillers the could draw up to 3000Amps! A kettle is about 10Amps. One day, an electrician who failed to obey the safety procedures while working, put his pliers across two electrical bars, for safety the pliers are well insulated so he didn’t get electrocuted but there was a huge bang and a very bright flash when the electricity with from one bar through his piers and onto the other bar. The flash blinded him for a few minutes, the bang still scares him today!
