[TCML] Tesla Coil Output Hazards, Skin Effect?

[Peter Terren]

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.
