During my time in the US Navy, I was stationed on a 688 class submarine. When they were shutting down the reactor they had to have a LOT of juice. Two four strand cables from the pier that were as big around as my calf (I'm 5'6", 150# at the time) ran below to the junction box. When I stood on them I could feel the hum through the soles of my work boots and my feet would warm up.
It still amazes me.
