David Blaine's 'death-defying' stunt amid a million volts of electric current? It's so safe I'd do it, says professor, 69 | Mail Online

This is why we bond people...!

i don't bond people. they're not extraneous or conductive.

No, more of a group hug.

Boring, Tesla did it without the suit as well

 

[ed-ectrician]

Tesla was much cooler than David crappy Blaine

Million volts of current ? That does not make sense and from what I can remember of my collage time it was drummed in to our heads that its current that kills not voltage so if he is in millions of volts but milliamperes then not to bad put him millions of amps and 240V then watch him dance !!

What’s interesting is how Professor John Belcher never volunteered himself before the stunt and only came out of the woodwork after it was all done and dusted. It’s not as if anyone is going to take him up on his offer and make him prove himself.

Faraday cage, safe as houses. It's not a stunt, just a lesson in paths of resistance. The bloke is a douche bag

When I was at college one of the favourite tricks was to get an HT generator out, with a current limiter, then one person would grab one terminal, someone else another, then we'd make a chain around the room, ending by the door and then grab the next person to walk through it. They danced a little, too. Would never get away with it now in these H&S obsessed days, but it taught us exactly about the difference between Voltage and Current.
