Re: [TCML] Tesla Coil Output Hazards, Skin Effect?

On my first Discovery channel segment I did a little segment on electric shocks. I used a defibrillator external pacemaker attached to electrodes on my forearm and you can see the result of 16mA pulses at about 40/min. There is a fair amount of involuntary movement in my hand and with 60Hz pulses I have no doubt I would find it hard to let go. If you have a fast ADSL link you can download the 5 min segment from here.

For this type of video download I use Orbit to catch every frame.

What did it say about "let go" currents?  Don't keep us in suspense.
  Sorry.  Seem to be perpetually behinde in email.
  6 page summary of hundreds pages of research.
     mean, 60 Hz, 134 Men, 16 mA.
     mean, 60 Hz, 28 Women, 11 mA.
