    the tuning knob on the back not only changes the overall tune but also changes the overall tone as well. you can go from a perfect square wave to like a mix between a pulse wave and a saw

    it's not the voltage that kills you - it's the amperage/power.
    also that current is running on the outside along your skin - not through you. mostly.
    there is not enough modern day experiments with how low power and even low voltage currents affects our human system.
    even holding a capacitor affects how my mind thinks. But I dunno any open studies. Most people who talk about it claim some really crazy results - like God Helmet

    That electricity goes trough you, don't do it. High voltage goes over you. Remember the 500k volts experiment from Tesla. It is not alot, but enough to stop somebodys faulty heart. Don't put your self as conduit.

    • @adamschranz8888
      @adamschranz8888  11 месяцев назад +6

      I understand this, but the Stylophone is powered by 3 AA batteries meaning only a maximum of around 4.5 volts, which is much lower than required to do damage. For someone with a weak heart or pacemaker they may need to consider this.

    • @digitig
      @digitig 11 месяцев назад +1

      Wrong. What’s actually dangerous is power, not voltage. The Tesla coils are safe not because “high voltages go over you” but because they can’t deliver much current. High voltages that aren’t limited in that way absolutely *can* send current through you and are very dangerous.
      The lowest voltage to cause serious injury is uncertain. 60V - if it can deliver reasonable power - has been known to be fatal. There are reports where voltages as low as 42V are *suspected* of causing fatality. So, allowing a reasonable safety margin, 30V is generally considered safe. 4.5V is not an issue at all.

      @@frenkyboydnb I'm a chartered electrical engineer with a degree in electrical and electronic engineering, so I don't need to ask my mum. Believe me, if you connect 500V across your body and it isn't *very* limited in some way such as being just static electricity or *very* impedance limited, it *will* go through you and you are very unlikely to come out of it well. Please learn basic electrical safety before risking lives on something misheard or misunderstood.
      Oh, and you have never had 500V going *through* you. *Volts* can't go through anything. Amps do. Volts are what pushes the Amps, not what goes through. You didn't understand what was happenimg.
