In your post #6 you said you can not get a shock with a 12 V battery. I disagree.
In the days of 6 V car batteries I got a tingle from the horn ring to the car body. When not pressed the horn ring was hot with 6 V. It was a hot humid day and my arms and hands were moist. My resistance was probably in the range of 6/0.001 = 6000 ohms or higher. Wasn't much of a tingle.
Normally from one hand to the other my resistance is 0.5 to 1 megohms. At 170 V across a resistance of 1 megohm has a current flow of 0.000,2 amperes.

This is exactly what I think is going on here. There is plenty of room for chicanery in this video. For all we know, there is lot's of manipulation of circuits in the background, maybe even of mixture of "tricks" such as Tesla coils, transformers, impedance relay switching, all kinds of things could easily explain what we are"allowed" to see here. For example, I used to operate a B/W level control relay using wet fingers to demonstrate it's safety, but if you put a "meter" on the leads, it would read 220V. But the power was not really passing through my fingers, the relay was acting upon the change in impedance in the circuit when my fingers touched it, and the RELAY contacts would switch the load. With a little creative wiring, I could make that look like I was "passing the power through my body" too.From the short amount of the video I watched, it would be very easy to have someone in another room or somewhere else nearby flipping switches and making it look like the electricity is really flowing through this person. From the video, those wires could of gone anywhere, or been cut in the middle, or had a bad spot or anything else.
Flip switch A, see 200 Volts! Flip switch B, the light comes on. Flip switch C and "The fuse blew." Switch D and "I bypassed the fuse".
To me, there just isn't any evidence at all that this guy can do what he says.
If someone wants to prove he can conduct electricity, take him to a lab or a controlled environment and let him prove it there.
Please don't. It is nonsense.The more I think about this the more I believe it.
I know creatures down the road that would agree they are not immoooon either.And I do not believe any living creature is immune to electricity to the point they can be part of a circuit that operates something like an appliance.
Exactly. There is a reason the electric chair can get the job done.And that dropped voltage would be given up to heat, which could be bad for flesh.
And by the way, he said he grabbed "a" transformer terminal and was not electrocuted. Been there, done that, many many times.The "trick" is in the word "a" as in "one" terminal guys... you all know that.
Next time, try to stop at a place with better kept facilities. :grin:I stood in a puddle of water a few days ago and did not get shocked!
The more I think about this the more I believe it.Believe me or not!
I know about 35 years ago when I was working on a range and hood exaust.I had the hood light torn apart for some reason, don't remember all the details.I do rember the neutral on the hood fan light was loose and hanging down out of the units junction.At the time I was working on the 50 amp range plug on the floor checking it. I raised up to go check something in the panel and my hand brushed one of the ungrounded range conductors and at the same time my back run against the neutral hanging out and believe it or not it blew the light bulb. I was sweating very bad when this happen. It literly felt like a horse kicked me in the side. This is the reason I'm sorta going toward this not being a fake.
The human body conducts electricity a lot better than we want to believe.I know when I sweat the resistance between my hands runs between 1k and 1.5 K Ohms. If you go by ohms law this would not be enough current to light a 60 watt light bulb.
Using ohms law applied to the body doesn't apply. Just like measuring the resistance of a 60 watt light bulb doesn't work. A 60 watt light bulbs resistance should be around 240 ohms to draw a current of .5 amps.The real cold resistance is around 15 ohms and using ohms law would make it draw 8 amps.
When using a electronic ohm meter such as a fluke to check your resistance make sure your lead terminals are of the same alloy. Not one steel and the other one copper because this will give you false ohm readings.
Like I said I believe the human conductor is for real, I just do not see how he can stand the pain he has to be feeling.
Believe it or not![]()
If he had claimed that he was electrocuted, I'd have called him a liar.And by the way, he said he grabbed "a" transformer terminal and was not electrocuted.
