Re: About the skin effect in humans

It also depends on if the current flows thro many areas of the body at once
or thro one single channel, Tesla used to easily hook himself up to 3MV
tuned properly many times in his life, and he lived quite long, the only
real accident when was when he was nearly killed by his colorado springs
setup, which was quite large indeed. Anyone here hooking themselves up to
there large coils the way you guys design them is definately a bad idea,
most of the coils I seen being built are very low in frequency compared to
tesla's stunt coils, 200 khz and below, if I remember correctly tesla used
something around 2-3 mhz on the coils he hooked himself to. Which was
probably a big factor. I'll try to find these references to the skin effect
tests, I think alot depends on the type of RF current flowing thro the
person, most tests were probably done used undamped RF while Tesla coils use
damped waves which might factor in on how the current travels thro the body.
Best advice of course is down mess with anything over a few hundred watts
damped wave. You should probably research old oudin coil setups and tesla
coils from the early 1900s that were used in electrotherapy, if you wish to
design something you can use "hands on".
