      If the women who is robbing the house shoots her machine gun towards the portable Tesla Coil, my question is : Will the bolts of electricity focus onto the multiple rounds in the air and strike out in a straight line towards the female robber?
      I guess the real question is , do the bolts need ground or is any ( metal ) object in the vicinity attractive .

    It's been almost 4 years since you originally posted this. Do you still read the comments? Either way, I'm going to throw this out there. Dad was an electrician and in the mid-70's he made a homemade Tesla coil to show us kids, We were all little ( I was about 10) and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Dad passed away 2 1/2 years ago and I sure do miss that man. So many interesting things he taught us. Thank you for bringing back good memories to me.

      +Asher Halperin That's the reason he visited this tesla guy: to get his heart rate up again. 0 heart rate means he is technically dead and heart is put back on by electric shocks. Reincarnation of SmarterEveryDay.

      AlickzRider Theories because Thomas Edison was more business savvy and used Tesla but took the glory. when Tesla tried doing his own thing with AC, Edison did a PR stunt of frying animals in public with coils and slandering him every chance he got

    • @linuxd
      @linuxd Před 7 lety

      Voltage, current, and resistance are all connected.
      The human body is about 100,000 ohms of resistance.
      Voltage/resistance=amperage
      It only take around .5 of an amp to kill you.
      Going by this equation it would take at least 50,000 volts to kill you.
      Generally people use 10,000V when demonstrating this but that gun definitely looks like it's more than 10,000V
      No clue what's in there but V/R=A
      Is the math

    • @sphinx00
      @sphinx00 Před 7 lety +3

      Rory M Duration of current also matters. Natural static charge easily accumulated in dry environment may result in tens of kV on a body that is enough to cause a spark across a few mm of air but it does not kill anybody.

      Well not to be that guy, but probably not. For example primitive people of the Pacific Islands who saw US and Japanese soldiers with all sorts of fancy toys first thought the soldiers gods but quickly realized that what made them special were their items, their cargo. That is how Cargo Cults formed where islanders tried to carve gun looking items out of wood and in a famous case headphones as a means of getting airdrops to give them supplies.
      This device is pretty obvious and Greeks are pretty clever so it would probably be figured out quickly.
