Playing with tesla coil

This is very stupid and dangerous. Just because some fool guy did this and put video to youtube doesn't mean that you should try this!

(to be honest I saw this first from internet..)

if you look at it that pole is grounded and a smart way to that guy NEVER feels a thing from it

[astriknon]

Actually it seemed like that person knew what he was doing, he had the pole grounded to earth, not through him, (the little red wire on the tip of the pole) and he had hearing protection as well.

What happends if you lick it? o.O

[BrianLuper]

Ha! Yep, the bigger you build them, the louder they get. Been working with these for over 25 years and there's always something new to learn. This one can't kill you, just make you piss you pants a little since the amperage is very low. 10-15 feet and taller...Now your in the area of a heart stopping jolt.

@iRobii

Yes, that's true also. Doesn't matter how high the voltage, as long as the amperage is low, your safe. But being grounded while receiving electricity is not safe either. Why are these people who allow power from coils to flow over them are always raised above the ground on insulated platforms or wearing insulated boots? Try it without it and have your next of kin let me know what happened.

@baxter5431 Actually thats false. What makes electricity dangerous is ampere not volts. Sense a tesla coil has such a low amount of amps it is completely harmless.

I have the power!!!!

[baxter5431]

As long as the person is not grounded, they're safe. Soon as you are grounded, you'd complete the circuit and "PRESTO!" Fried human. Remember, that's how the electric chair works: and electrode fastened to the head and one on the ankle and the person in the middle of it gets zapped. In fact, Edison invented the electric chair in his attempt to show how dangerous AC is.

Tesla naturally, proved him wrong. Genius triumphed over "trial & error."

@xXFLIMXx If its a low amp high frequency...if not *zap* *dead*
