| Jul 14, 2018 at 9:37 | comment | added | Blair Fonville | @Edenia because: "I am often getting zapped severely (to the extent I get muscle contractions)". It was intended to be a joke though. | |
| Jul 14, 2018 at 9:16 | comment | added | Edenia | @BlairFonville Because? | |

| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:44 | comment | added | Edenia | @TonyEErocketscientist You feel something like cold air stream between your hand and the ground (I use glass table as a ground, because of sizes and material and the limiting aspects) as well as small needles sort of sensation. I am not sure to why this feels like so though. | |
| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:42 | comment | added | D.A.S. | how amazing is it? | |
| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:37 | comment | added | Edenia | @TonyEErocketscientist It is a project mainly for fun and entertainment. I also use copper material tourniquet (because of the lesser resistance and better durability) to connect to my body and I must say that the feeling is amazing. I use 3 LG HG2 batteries in series with balancing BMS and a voltage level indicator. I threw away the step-up DC module, because with the 3 batteries I approximate 12V anyway | |
| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:36 | comment | added | Edenia | If my skin is same voltage than the HV output, I would not get shocked, if material b is 0V I will get zapped, but it will not hurt that much, I will just give electrons, if material b > my skin there is a serious discharge, where supposedly a repelling force is to be excerpted | |
| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:34 | comment | added | D.A.S. | What is your experimental intended use? | |
| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:32 | comment | added | Edenia | @TonyEErocketscientist No I didn't said I have 0V at the negative lead of a floating 20kV output. In fact the negative output (that goes to ground) is where a number close to 20kV moves through. As far as I know it does not have to be 0, but just different than your skin in order to get shocked, because of the electrons jumping from one another. | |
| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:30 | comment | added | D.A.S. | There is no way to have 0V on the negative lead of a floating 20kV output. Using rubber insulated wire pairs , treat both as live. | |

| Jul 13, 2018 at 3:20 | comment | added | Edenia | @TonyEErocketscientist Yes the negative output is much higher in voltage than my body, because of my body resistance and I get shocked because of the voltage difference. | |
