High Voltage Sign

Hey, there's this old high voltage sign on one of those metal framed transformers that I'm thinking about taking. It's out in the middle of nowhere so it's not doing much. It says danger 3000 volts or something. Does that mean the actual tower carries a charge, or just if your stupid enough to climb up and touch the wires? Can I just grab it and pull it off, or should I try to knock it off without touching it? A solution where I don't get electrocuted would be appreciated. Thanks.

ta man just let it be...dont fuck with it...and i dont think hiting it with something like a stick is going to help you out at all becasue the electricity would just run right threw the fucking stick and into your dumbass body...honestly u had no idea about how electricity works??? also...do u really think that the tower would be charged with 3000 volts of electricty???do u know how many lawsuits would be filed against the government for all the kids that would die from touching it???come on now us your head

correction....you know wrong beacsue then why the fuck would a lighting bolt hit a tree????becasue it wants to find its way to the ground by taking the root that is closest to the cloud....therefore...wood definatley does conduct electiricity...

Some of you guys are fucking idiots. I meant throwing a rock or a piece of wood at it, not hitting it with a stick. Second, these are sketchy old things out in a field. If you hold a lightbulb near them I've heard it will actually light up, so it sounds possible that they carry some amount of charge in the base.

Or just don't be a douche bag and leave it there. How cool is it anyways to have a high voltage sign in your room anyways? Are you like 13 or something?

dude, wood totally doesnt carry electricity. Lightning goes to trees cuz it wants to get grounded the quickest. Just like it heads to the dirt in a place without trees, now this doesnt mean that the dirt conducts electricity now does it? No. The trees are just closer.

when lightning hits a tree the conductor is the water in the tree

No, tree's don't conduct, it just has alot of negative charges around it, that's why the lightening strikes.
