This appeared to be true, its not the first guy to be able to do it.
the title to the thread is deceiving. they have high skin resistance. While an interesting scientific curiousity, this is unfortunately a public disservice because someone's kid is going to try it and die.
Comming soon to YouTube..............
Do the math. If the current passes through him, indicating that he is in series with the load, his body would present enough impedance to drop the voltage at the load to an unusable level.
Of course! The Skin Effect. :grin:I think the concept goes back to Tesla, who I seem to recall demonstrated that ultra high frequency power would travel across your skin without penetrating to vital systems.
Yeah. He's a semiconductor. :grin:He only conducts electricity when convenient? :roll:
Of course! The Skin Effect. :grin:
That is exactly what it is, not really a new concept, people have been doing shows like this for years, in fact there is a great act on Americas got talent (Made it to the semi finals) that uses Tesla coils, Faraday suits, and "electric gutiars". Thye draw arcs to them from the Tesla coils and use the "gutiars" to change the frequency of the arcs to make them play music. This week they did "Iron Man", it was pretty cool.
