Perhaps you can measure, with a low, safe voltage, current entering the
hands and that passing from one hand to the other with your contraption.

"Contraption" indeed! Hardly a contraption by any definition.

Nerve hit?

Please do report back with your findings, however I suspect once current
enters the body little will come back out through skin and be bypassed
by your wigget.


Must admit I hadn't considered skin resistance as you and newsy
mentioned. HOWEVER I do have some conductive electrode lube I've not had
cause to use for a different project I was working on. Be interesting to
try your test with and without the lube; it might just make that critical
difference.

Except getting any conductive lube on one's hand mights create a greater
risk of conduction into your arms.

Perhaps spikes penetrating the skin on wrists? :-)

What might be an idea is to measure voltage across shoulders and pass an
equal and opposite current through the wrists?

You just have to remember to take electrodes off in the right order!
