Tesla down under has found another use for tin-foil hats (apart from keeping the CIA out of your mind, obviously) - conducting massive amounts of electricity into your swimming pool, while you're in it!

This is due to the speed of sound through the gas, and is safe because Helium is inert (and so doesn't burn or react with the contents of your lungs).
