here he holds it in his fingers and no shock

BUT I DONT GET A SHOCK EXPLAIN WHY Mr WIZARD?






there is no shock ZIPPO NADA when lighting a 110 volt 100 watt bulb and touching the electrodes?

More electromagnetic non mechanical voodoo maybe huh?

My qualifications to answer this come from 40 years of working on live electrical equipment , most of it either 415v 240v or 110v.

In the pictures you posted the guy is never the least past of resistence. If you look at the photo, the lamp is always connected to the wires, so the voltage takes the easiest path, which is down the copper.

It is also possible to touch a live terminal provided you are sufficiently earthed, although the higher the voltage the riskier this is. If you are working on a wooden ladder, ot standing on an insulated block (dry wood, rubber mat) you wont get a shock UNLESS you touch both live and earth/neutral terminal at the same time.

the dimming is due to resistance.  nothing magical.  he does not get shocked because he is not the path of least resistance, since he is insulated, nothing magical.

See and try to understand Polites clear explanation.

fine mr wizard then explain why the fuckin bulb lights since the least resistance is through the dead short

I will die of old age before you even get a clue whats going on here.

because the fuckin lightbulb is the dead fuckin short.   when you get a clue the universe will have ceased to exist.

However, in the process of installing long telegraph wires, engineers discovered that there were electrical potential differences between most pairs of telegraph stations, resulting from natural electrical currents (called telluric currents[3]) flowing through the ground. Some early experimenters did recognize that these currents were, in fact, partly responsible for extending the earth batteries' high outputs and long lifetimes. Later, experimenters would utilize these currents alone and, in these systems, the plates became polarized.

It had been long known that continuous electric currents flowed through the solid and liquid portions of the Earth,[4] and the collection of current from an electrically conductive medium in the absence of electrochemical changes (and in the absence of a thermoelectric junction) was established by Lord Kelvin.[5][6] Lord Kelvin's "sea battery" was not a chemical battery.[6]

In fact they do not believe the earth conducts well enough despite the fact they used the earth as a source of power for the old telegraph stations.

For the fingers across the halogen bulb it is taking the easiest path, that is true, however its the current not the voltage. Voltage is only the potential or pressure as the old timers put it.




now in the video however you can see it dim considerably when he grabs it which goes without saying that he also is acting as the circuit but gets no shock.

Next you would not dare stick your hands in water like he did with convention ac power because you will get zaped.

Next there is that really nagging problem in the hairpin that it is shorted and the light bulbs are connected across a dead short and they light.

I reposted th epics so you can see the top one he is holding an 1/8th inch arc to the right terminal of the bulb.

The print does not show the voltage but that is a furnace transformer running between 10 - 15,000 volts into the hairpin.

Sort of throws a wrench into conventional electricity taught in school and it works and frankly works very well and consumes from "their" tests considerably less energy to light the same bulb. Tesla of course was known for being a perfectionist and perfecting everything he did so no one else could do an end=run around his patents lol

You still dont get it and are twisting Rons point. He is talking of the resistance through the lamp, as against the resistance through the skin. That isnt a dead short but it is the path of least resistance, which is what he was getting at. Thats quite clear if you look at the order in which the posts were made.

When, in the experiment, a dead short is introduced, the light does indeed dim as the short now becomes the past of least resistance. He doesnt get a shock when his hand is in the water, unless he is grounded, something your "expert video" doesnt show.

Regards the dead short across the top of the diagram shown above. Try reading about voltage drop, thats to do with the overall length of a circuit, the diagram shows the voltage has to travel much further along the copper rod to complete the circuit than going via the lamp. If the resistance of the circuit is higher than the resistance of the lamp, the lamp will light first. If you move the short down the rods, the resistance will be reduced until a point is reached when the lamp does not light.

I gleefully await a credible explaination of how earth is used as a source of electrical power (as against being used as neutral)

Must dash, I am off to push some sodium lamps in the soil to light up the closing ceremony for the Olympics.

I don't know what could be embarrassing about that, gotta tell you

perhaps you need to investigate fundamental relationships, watts, ohms, voltage, resistance, amperage, and electricity itself.
