Bob, an induction field is an induced current, or voltage, resulting from 
current flow. Lotsa current equals lotsa induction field. Which, according to 
the local street preacher, is often followed by checking out a harp and wings. 

The human body is essentially a high resistance one turn inductor. In lab 
testing during the 1950's more than 5 Kv at 10 A was measured in a cadaver near 
a lab lightning stroke. And lab lightning is a very mild cousin to the wild 
lightning generated in a thunderstorm. Do not put your unshielded self or 
anything you value near anything that will attract the wild stuff. 

And I forgot who asked, but yes, your rotor cables need to be lightning 
arrestored, grounded, and anything else that can be done to keep the big sparks 
away.
