"I will try to charge on it and become a wireless laser-man"
Now that's a life goal
They said I could become anything I wanted
So I became a capacitor

How about you read the thread first.

They made jokes about my conductivity.
I made jokes about their deaths.
Crazy Serbs, they got magnet people, shark killers and now the battery man.
Wait, did he just made a masturbation joke with that girl?
I don't know about the 1 million volt thing. Seems, that it will definitely get him killed.
Surprised they didn't play High Voltage instead.
i wouldn't let him touch me, not with those finger nails
I want to be able to do my hotdogs like that.
Um no one else thinks this is fake somehow? I don't see how a person can control the flow of electricity through themselves.
How could he be in Guinness World Records if it was fake?

[QUOTE=Scientwist;29940460]I've seen this guy before on TV once or twice, this guys body acts very much like a capacitor does. As you know we all have at least a small amount of electricity running through us, our nerves, muscles and brain.
The reason electricity kills people is because most of us have a very high resistance, and resistance in wires causes heat which is the same in us. It's deadly because we "burn out" like an over heated fuse, but this guy has little to no resistance in his body which allows him to build up a charge like he does.
220v Has a max of, from what I understand, 44 or so Amps and just one amp can kill most people.[/QUOTE]
He does not store charge. The video deliberately keeps him mystical by not explaining it, but all he is doing is conducting electricity through his body from an external power source via a couple of jumper leads or something (which is what he got the guiness world record for).
A capacitor has infinite resistance, a conductor has 0 capacitance, you can't have both.
Now, a few hypothesis to how he does it:
High pain tolerance
learnt nerve/muscular resistance to high voltage
body fat - or lack of it (TOBEC)
De or over-hydrates himself before performances to change electrical resistivity
makes sure body position causes current to flow as far from his heart/cns as possible
In other words, anyone could do this so long as they do/have these, there's nothing physically special about him.
Btw, resistance is what causes electrical burns, yes, but death is usually caused by the interference with the heart and cns, which both are controlled with electricity naturally. If our bodies were less conductive, electricity would be far less dangerous.

He looks a bit weird. Completely bald, a bit unusual head shape, malformed fingernails. He might have some condition which would change conductivity/current paths in his body, maybe some skin mutation.
I mean, at one point he starts an ark off top of his head. How would you get current there while avoiding CNS?
Same with one nail in each hand. The current is most probable to go directly through heart for normal person.
I wouldn't be really sure if ANYBODY can do everything he can, and that well. He holds two guiness book records, and usually there's always somebody eager to beat these. If it was easy, somebody would do it.
No-one else is stupid enough to try. Anyone can make a spark from their head, have you never played with a van de graph generator? Very high voltage and very low current makes it safe. The cooking sausage is more impressive, as it would draw a far higher current.
A mutation that would significantly change a persons conductivity seems very unlikely (read:impossible).
[QUOTE=Tolyzor;29948108]~Lots of Stuff said~

Well, I was really only speaking on an AFAIK basis as my knowledge on electricity is kind of limited. I still can't remember what Voltage, Wattage and Amperage do except that amps kill and volts just hurt like hell (30,000v tazer). Watts = heat?
So if more resistance = burns and less resistance = death, then this guys heart must have some major kinda tolerance to juice... that or he's a cyborg. :psylon:

well, let me as an electrician tell you that the resistance of a conductor is not what causes it to heat.
the heat of a conductor depends on the current flowing through it and its cross-section - the smaller the cross-section is, the higher it heats up at the same current flowing.
but the resistance again depends on the size of the cross-section, which means that - at a conductor with a small cross-section - you need a higher voltage to cause high current, than it would be necessery at a large-cross-section-conductor
and another problem at being a human conductor is: due to the current flowing through your body your blood and inner organs partially heat up, so that the proteins start to harden - you'd sooner or later die - and at a certain level of electric current your heart would just start beating with the same frequency as the alternating current - which would be like 50 times per second in europe ;D thats no good for your health...
according to these facts (i hope it's understandable since i'm not THAT good in speaking english, especially technical english) i think it's not really possible to do that stuff he does without any tools
:D

I was talking about how all things being equal, (given equal current and voltage), a wire (or person) with higher resistance will convert more electrical energy to heat.

You are getting heat and temperature confused. Current flowing through a small dia wire and a large dia wire will undergo exactly the same energy loss due to heat if their resistances are the same. A wire's resistance is the only thing that causes heat loss. Resistance = (material resistivity coefficient * length) / cross section . Heat loss due to resistance = current^2 * resistance.
Temperature gain is obviously related to cross sectional area, because a small diameter wire cannot radiate as much heat as a larger wire in a given time and has a lower heat capacity.
(yes then the resistivity constant changes due to increased temperature, but at the kinds of temp we are talking about this is negligible)

Eh, close enough. Yes that will happen with a high enough current, but the Russian dude is using the fact that he has a higher cross section and a lower material resistivity coefficient due to having more fluid in his body, to make sure that the sausage in the circuit he forms has the highest resistance, and therefore has a good amount of heat transferred to it. He has far more volume to soak up the heat from the current with, so his temperature will not rise as fast and he can radiate more heat away due to his higher surface area.
Finally: Kids, he is not using household ac power, he will be using very finely tuned voltage and current values. Don't try this at home.
...I want to know how he discovered this ability.
God damn it man I just wanted a hot dog.
You didn't have to go and fucking split it in half.

heat can be generated from low current if it has a high frequency
1 million volts?! Holy smokes
