Insulating Stool or Platform

In electrical experimentation, sometimes you want your subject or equipment insulated from the ground. In that case you put it on an insulating stool (if it's a person) or platform (if it's equipment). The glass legs keep the electricity from leaking away. This one has a top about ten inches in diameter, a bit small for a person; we have others, larger, in considerable supply. Some were definitely intended for human use.
