Here is a video that shows electricity can be harmless if you eliminate the current.

24 volts is pulsed through a high voltage transformer into a 10,000 Volt capacitor then discharged across the primary coil of a Tesla coil. The voltage potential of the secondary coil then becomes harmless.

  • why dont you die when touching this???

    This video is a fucking Fake it would kill you instantly

  • @Tombi432 LOL!

  • On medium-larger Tesla coils, you won't feel the sparks much because the electrical frequency is so high the nerves can't feel it, but can still do severe damage to body and possibly stop your heart (most likely on powerful ones).

    Just letting you know in case you upgrade.

    Cool vid by the way.

  • Actually, the Tesla coil in the picture is a 1200 watt model I built. I just modified it to use DC static PPM. Which generates a 70KVDC static spark on the secondary winding, which is completely harmless.

    This coil produces a 300KV spark on the output with conventional alternating current. (It can give you quite the shock)

  • Little quesiton: how do you discharge your capacitor?

  • FAKE - Humans arent real!

  • put a magnet near it.

    ......

  • @Tombi432 YOUR A MOTHERFUCKING RETARD Y DONT U JUST READ THE FUCKING INFO !!!!!!!

  • @Tombi432 You're either a troll or one hell of a stupid fuck. I can't figure out which is worse.

  • See am dumb i like to play with high voltage with high current. well i know what am doing and not to do something so dumb i will get killed.

  • OK. Its a static spark. How do static sparks get such low harmless current (like a Van De Gaffe) that even at 200KV doesn't hurt.

    And why does a static spark (rug/doorknob or getting out of your vehicle) produce a powerful spark that does some damage (at only a few KV) What determines the current (not voltage) in a static spark?
