Static tingling is not MHz. Parasitic capacitance is charged every half mains cycle by PSUs. This can result in floating at a high DC voltage if there is no discharge path or a double mains frequency if it is completely discharged every half cycle. Without a discharge path to mains Earth...

There were two things incorrect in the video that are causing some confusion here. Firstly, while ac and dc electricity needs a circuit to complete, static electricity does not. When two charged masses are connected together the net charge becomes evenly distributed. Unearthed equipment gets...
