(October 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Chip was the ballistic gel dummy who assisted in testing the "Phone in a Thunderstorm" myth . Chip was placed inside a miniature faux house built by the Mythbusters which was placed within a facility used to test the effects of lightning . After attaching a monitor to detect the amount of electricity running through Chip's heart, he was attached to a phone and placed in the shower with running water in separate experiements while simulated bolts of lightning struck wiring which lead directly into the house . The fuse was blown on the meter attached to Chip during each experiment, which led the team to assume the amount of electricity through Chip's heart was deadly . Thanks to Chip's sacrifice, the team concluded that the "Phone in a Thunderstorm" myth was confirmed as being potentially deadly, and the Shower in a Thunderstorm myth was deemed plausible as a dangerous or even deadly situation . </P>
