Thanks but the question remains

Well a heater i had bought used happened to have a short in it. I took apart the overflow box to fix the hose connection. Had to let it dry so put the used heater in the dt. Went to mess with a coral. Both hands went in and started getting electrocuted. Was not able to let go of the tank due to the electricity. Ended up pulling the entire tank on top of me. Crashed the system, ended up getting stitches. Was not a pleasant experience. Which is why i try to tell people to use gfi and ground probes. That way they wont learn the hard way like i did.
You can do it. But what if you slip or let go of the cup. Plastic and rubber are insulators, meaning at the right thickness voltage cant get through.Thanks but the question remains
The gloves we wear are around .125 thick or 1/8. They have to be certified and such. If there's a pin hole you have to throw them away. I just would not trust a dish washing glove.Any clue what thickness that is?
Hi, can electricity transfer through plastic. Meaning, if I dip a plastic cup into a tank with leaking voltage without touching my skin to to the water, can I still get electrocuted? Also if I was wearing a plastic glove. Thank you
GlassWhat kind of heater?
Im waiting to see what this guy is rigging upWeird question but no, you will not get electrocuted.
Most computer fans are 0-12v controllable. I do not know what the wattage rating on a VDM port is you may be able to power one very small 12 volt fan.
I personally would go with something like this on my DIY fixture, https://www.coolerguys.com/collecti...d-speed-ac-fan-with-thermal-switch-bt12038b1m
or for a bump up

I know, I just told you what I would run, since you gave no indication of available power, what power rail you are tapping off of, what the VDM signal is going to be used for, power, control, power and control. I mean honestly you could hook the VDM up to the gate of a transistor and drive a DC Fan from that.Thanks for the reply. The vdm doesn't power anything, it's just a analog signal that is used to dim lights, pumps ect. I like the fans on the link but those would be stand alone and they're AC which means i couldn't dim them with the vdm and would have to run another power cord.
The problem most have run into is regular computer fans have a chip in them that doesn't respond well to attempts at dimming
