2kV between the bells is meaningless unless you can also state the current (ie the total Power = VI)<br>Comparing this 2kV voltage to city Power transmission lines is misleading. Static electricity is also many thousands of volts but the current is minute.<br><br>cheers,(reply>), That was mentioned.  1 nanoamp I think was the figure used.  Basically the voltage is ridiculous but it moves almost no current each time.
