/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Would it not be the high voltage causing the dust to fly of (in the "hair goes up" way)? If there would actually be a current it would be hard to control at multiple kilovolts...

Did it actually *work*? Tesla talked bollocks all the time.

Tesla coils are high voltage high frequency power source.

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil#The_.27skin_effect.27
>It was thought that in the body, Tesla currents travelled close to the skin surface, making them safer than lower-frequency electric currents
>Although skin effect limits Tesla currents to the outer fraction of an inch in metal conductors, the 'skin depth' of human flesh at typical Tesla coil frequencies is still of the order of 60 inches (150 cm) or more
>The reason for the lack of pain is that a human being's nervous system does not sense the flow of potentially dangerous electrical currents above 15–20 kHz
>Since the body no longer provides a warning 'shock', novices may touch the output streamers of small Tesla coils without feeling painful shocks
>However, anecdotal evidence among Tesla coil experimenters indicates temporary tissue damage may still occur and be observed as muscle pain, joint pain, or tingling for hours or even days afterwards.

We used to think high voltages and low amperage is safe, but new studies suggest this could cause micro burns in body tissue.
tl;dr Don't do this. It'll affect your health in the long run

>>625260
>wut

we always knew high voltages were dangerous. a few milliamps at high voltages can give you arrhythmia often followed by death.

>>625249
>Tesla coils are high voltage high frequency power source.

yup, most commonly found as a automotive ignition coil.

The theraputic effects of various combinations of applied electrical frequency and intensity (voltage / current) have long been disputed.

>>625245
>Tesla talked bollocks all the time.
spoken like a true trained ape spouting the dogmatic BS it's been fed.

>>625271
Tesla fanbois are such tremendous faggots.

>>625283
Tesla was a phenomenal inventor. If it was not for the intervention of big business (namely energy barons) tat thwarted the success of manufacturing and the public benefiting from his inventions; we as a society could of reaped a cheap form of energy. Instead, we must continue to prostate ourselves and accept the fixed pricing by energy mongols.

>>625310
you mean prostrate.

>>625314
Keepin it real-women do not have prostates, but I get yur drift and still don't giv a shit!!

>>625245
Tesla was right about everything he said.

He tested the method on a Rabbit once, at first the rabbit was getting shocks and was trying to get off the plate but tesla figured out its fur was acting as an insulator causing painful shocks, he wet the rabbit with some water and the rabbit sat on the plate enjoying the voltage, it stopped a few times to blink .

"Bre'r Rabbit taking a trifling 500,000 volts at 20 kilowatts, and liking it well, thank you! He held still for 20 seconds, only blinking once in awhile. He was not chained nor held down otherwise. "Movie" operators were at hand and filmed him, too. He is still alive, so Sis needn't worry that we killed him."

>>625318

Wat.

>>625245
>Tesla talked bollocks all the time.
Eh, the people who've been doing wireless electricity have basically copied his designs. They tried chatting a load of shit with saying it was "inspired" by Tesla but actually they were using super complicated quantums, but it turned out they were straight copying Tesla.

>>625318
>women do not have prostates
Okay Beckett.

>>625346
>but actually they were using super complicated quantums, but it turned out they were straight copying Tesla.

wat iz "quantums" ?

I understand Tesla fairly well, even to the point of understanding the reasons behind his free energy claims.

>>625283
>tremendous faggots.
Tesla fanbois are a pain just like all fanbois
The true faggots however are the dogmatic adherents to an outdated belief. The QEDbois have the maths that proves what tesla was saying.
It's an effect that works, and is used every day, but has no name that I'm aware of. The energy that could be available using this effect is "free" and "unlimited" only in the manner that hydro power is "free" and "unlimited".

>>625335
I can't say for certain but it seems to be a joke based on the usage of prostate, prostrate which is similar to prostates.

In the US congress there has been debate about healthcare. One thing that has come up far too much was "why women were denied prostate coverage". The common rebuttal is that they don't have that organ, so they don't get coverage for it. At which point the argument is flipped to pricing issues and things get even crazier. I assume some of our news and other people have run with this making it a madness unto itself.

>>625262
> few miliamps

The voltage doesnt do much its just those miliamps. Your average static shock is 10,000 to 30,000 volts.
The more you know.

>>625361
I think you dont understand where that Energy actually Comes from, its not like Hydro power, its taking Energy already in the Atmosphere, sea, wind, Sun and using it for our needs. The sun bombards the earths atmosphere with trillions of volts each second on any of its surface at any time of the day, we can tap into that electricity and use it.

than use the earth to send the power all over the world.

>>626561
>I think you dont understand where that Energy actually Comes from,

Where do you think it comes from?

My thoughts are it's source is two-fold.
1. the solar wind is a basically neutral plasma that surrounds the earth.
2. the earth's magnetic field's movement.

the poles of the earth's magnetic field no not correspond with the rotational axis. When observed from orbit this results in a "wobble" in the magnetic field. This magnetic field motion along with the electrically conducting plasma generates currents that manifest as aurora among other things. By some unknown mechanism these currents charge the ionosphere with a constant polarity charge. The method described in>>625361 graphic explains how energy could be extracted from this DC charge.

>"It's not the volts that kills you, it's the amps!"
Every time someone says that an electrical engineer has a bout of diarrhea.

>>626289
What bout pregnant men; r u implying tat they are not covered, tis is a disaster, and so fukn unfair.

>>625260
This, basically. People who get fried with high voltage (lightning strikes, etc.) are at very high risk of developing cancer later in life. Getting zapped is not something that goes away if you survive it.

Yeah, I know, "it's not exactly the same thing." Do an animal study and see how they react over time.

>>625349
Well, they don't. Unless they're trannies.

Just like men don't have uteruses. Unless they're trannies.

Also, protip, cutting parts off and/or surgically implanting substitutes doesn't turn a man into a woman or turn a woman into a man or turn a man into a dolphin.

>>627112
>Getting zapped is not something that goes away if you survive it.
getting zapped, getting exposed to radiation, getting exposed to RF radiation, getting exposed to fire... all can kill, all can leave scars and all in small doses can be survived with minimal long term effects that directly relate to the degree or intensity of exposure.

>thoughts
You're thinking of the wrong thing moving. Books might help alleviate that.

Hint of the day: Lorentz Force.

>>627264
It's not a reason to expose yourself unnecessarily. Your way of thinking is how people behaved back in the 1930s, when X-ray machines were in every shoe store so people could stick their feet under them and look at whether their bones were cramped up inside the shoes, or the 1940s, when physicians found that X-rays could "cure" childhood excema (totally pointless since it generally goes away on its own). These resulted in thousands of deaths from cancer later in people's lives.

>oh, it's modern science, it can't hurt you!

Really what would concern me the most with this procedure is inhaling all the ozone that the electricity would create.

>>627757
you could easily fix that with a simple fan, this would also be beneficial in killing disease, 70% of your body mass is made of Bacteria. very low voltage can fry disease in your body.

>>627884
>implying we don't need that bacteria to live

>>627884
>70% of your body mass is made of Bacteria
I don't know who told you this, but you should stop listening to them.

>>627658
>It's not a reason to expose yourself unnecessarily.
I agree, but the current "zero tolerance" mentality is wak. Limiting one's exposure is good but obsessing over tiny exposures is pointless.

>>627919
Oh, I agree, people are nuts, and carry all that stuff to extremes. But I'm not going to go out of my way to zap myself or expose myself to X-rays or certain chemicals just because it might be neat and probably won't hurt much.

>>627884
>>627911
It's actually 70% of your shit is bacteria.

>>628011
No, stop listening to idiots, and just once in a while stop to think if a new claim or factoid you read is even plausible.
http://www.healthhype.com/feces-faeces-formation-composition-color-and-odor.html:
About 75% of fecal weight is made up of water. The other 25% is composed of solid matter which contains :

Undigested fiber and solidified components of digestive juices (30%)
Bacteria (30%)
Fat (10% to 20%)
Inorganic matter (10% to 20%)
Protein (2% to 3%)

>>628038
>Protein (2% to 3%)
muh gains

anyone that had a problem with sweating (like me) would know about iontophorecis ... its a way of electrocuting your hand so they dont sweat anymore (with aprox. 20Watts) i doesnt harm you at all in the long run but the only drowback is that if you have any open wounds(even the smallerones ) it hurts like hell ... if you do it on your whole body the only thing that youll fell is a huge pain on your penis(if we asuume that you dont have any wound) and on your head . Yes it cleans pores but i dont think that it does anything else :P

>>628290
ohh and it irritates the skin for 4-5 hours
