    A slight dig, but today I tested for myself what happens when touched. Of course, not specifically, however, it happened. I'm alive, I didn't feel the current, but it burned a 2 mm hole in my hand to a depth of about 0.5 cm. Pain, the stench of burning skin and nothing pleasant, but I'm alive ;P It's better to touch a heated soldering iron, the pain is the same, but the damage is less. I found that I will share this with you, because it was one of the main topics of discussion in this thread.

    Well, yes high-frequency electrocution usually resembles the effects of a burn more than what is usually associated with the effects of paralysis. Plus it heals nastily.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around building a simple musical Tesla coil, with the original poster sharing their experience of modifying a single transistor-based design to produce sound. Initial attempts resulted in poor performance, prompting adjustments to the winding configuration, which improved spark generation but led to transistor failures. Participants suggested checking the operating frequency, as Tesla coils function as radio transmitters, and discussed the importance of tuning the resonant frequency through inductance and capacitance. The use of an SDR (Software Defined Radio) was proposed to detect the coil's frequency, which was found to be around 1.037 MHz during testing. Safety concerns regarding electromagnetic fields and the potential dangers of high-voltage discharges were also highlighted, with warnings about the risks to individuals with heart conditions. The conversation included technical insights on resonant circuits, the epidermal effect, and the generation of ozone and nitrogen oxides during operation.
