I have no idea how it breaks those forum's rules, and Google isn't providing the answers I'm looking for.
Can you interact with a legit, old-school Tesla Coil (the kind he himself built in the 1920s) wearing a metal glove, similar to chain-mail or possibly mesh? Or would it be rubber? Or must it just be a naked hand? It's for a story I'm working on, and I need to know if the person needs to wear a metal glove or can just touch it without a glove on.
