Cooking Hot Dogs With Tesla Coils

[hghorbani]

Tesla coil can not cook meet.

That is for the same reason which for it does not harm the human body. You can touch the arc without danger and harm.

Very high frequency does not burn meet.

I would not eat that raw meet.....

You don't know what you're talking about. Whether it can cook meat (and whether it can injure or kill you) depends on the wattage and whether it passes through your body. If the wattage isn't too high, or if you use a grounded rod to catch the arc, you won't be injured. But if you put your hand in the air and walk up to a million-watt Tesla coil, you're toast.

OK first of all what hot dog?!? Second, hot dogs are precooked. Third, if yo caint spail meet u prolly dint no how Tesla stuff werks ;P

[hghorbani]

For your information, I have a PhD degree on High Voltage engineering and have worked on Tesla coils. For example:

/watch?v=bJ0OPhHYEeM

you can check other videos to see that people pass the current from a Tesla coil through their body. You can also read about Tesla coil on Wikipedia to see the fact that Tesla coil output does not hurt human body is accepted with most of experts but there are different explanations.

If I misspell a word does not mean that I dont know about Tesla coil.

cough cough BULL SHIT cough cough

[hghorbani]

I see. It sounds very strange or even non sense the first time you hear about it. It is not very easy to understand even for electrical engineers.

It potentially can be very dangerous of course but the fact is that the danger in this frequencies (100 kHz) is much less than the normal grid frequency (50 or 60 Hz). In very high frequencies the electricity will kind of pass the body like a radio signal so it has much much less effect on the body.

[MyLIfeStudios]

it dosn't hurt the human body , that is as long as it dosn't hit you . Are you dumb its not high frequency ( what ever the hell you mean by that ) its electrisity in the form of an arc , kinda like lightning

[hghorbani]

No dear friend I am not dumb. I am a High Voltage Engineering scientist. The fact that it does not hurt human is for sure but there are different reasoning for it.

In ac electricity the amplitude and the frequency both mater a lot. Normal electricity is 230 V, 50 Hz in Europe and 110V 60 Hz in the USA.

The frequency of the Tesla coil output is 100 kHz -150 kHz which is pretty high.

one reasoning is the so called "Skin Effect" in conductors; other reasoning is the capacitance of the cells.

Basically the original machine consisted of a baseplate of prefabulated ammulite surrmounted by a logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in direct line with a panemetric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzelvanes so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that sidefumbling was prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus o deltoid type placed in panendermic semiboloid slots in the stator. I have a PhD in "ICALLBULLSHIT"

[hghorbani]

The difference of this case with lighting is that lighting is not sinusoidal but impulse, so it has all low and high frequencies. It is not really very easy to explain it to you except you are electrical engineer or have good knowledge in this field.

Any way, if you are curious about this subject (which I find it very interesting) I might be able to help you to gather some information about it.

I have a 3 foot solid state tesla coil and you can cook meat with it and your fingers!

trust me ive done it!

[hghorbani]

Hello.

When I say it is not dangerous, I mean electrically. The heat of the plasma in the arc can burn your finger, but just the area that has touched the arc.

Not being dangerous means that the current that passes the body does not damage flesh or interupt the nurveous system. If you measure the current that passes your body most likely you would see that it is much bigger than 50 mA that is the withstand current of human body for frequencies around 50 Hz.

[hghorbani]

If you touch the same voltage (several kV)but with low frequency or DC it would kill you for sure. Your nervous system completely stops working. DC current burns the tissue that it has passed not only the skin.

[crazeman5522]

Nope sorry your wrong on that the current in a coil of that size would kill you.

[ambersoul]

pew pew pew. my msn messenger id is in my profile! msg me if u want! y

[h311raz0r]

Uh... what are these "tesla coils" suppose to do???

[acs1978au]

that's bloody magnificent

[LNC3]

This is pretty much the best thing ever.

[TECHKLEC]

Or, you can stick a nail in each end of a hot dog, attach two conductor cord (a wire on each nail) and plug it in to a wall outlet. The salt in the meat conducts electricity and produces heat, cooking the hotdog.

[thisissic]

mmmm the hotdogs are almost ready master, MWA HAH HA HAAAAA!!

[gigagamer16]

yes thank you igor. MUAHAHAHAHA

[Link7882]

You see at the end of the video when there's a bunch of sparks running down the pole like a dotted line? Those are sparks arcing between the hot dogs attached to the pole.

[mystuff2]

I'll beleive it when they eat the hot dogs and don't throw up afterwards.

[versarchi]

sounds like some guy on a bike with some card rubbing up the spokes

best done in the dark lots more scary :))

[yufeizhou]

wheres the hotdog?

[strikeme5]

its in the yellow sock like thing

[KillTheToy11]

Did it actually work?

[ilmickeyli]

your mom

[tehbulky]

It looks like a rod, but not of hot dogs
