Does anyone have any idea how to build this?

[dankai]

I want to know if anyone has any idea how to build a small device that can be concealed on the body and generate static electricity that will allow tiny bolts of electricity to jump from one hand to the other. I am familiar with Yigal Mesika's work with Electric Touch, but my idea is a step further.

PM me with ideas or if you actually know how to do this.

Just walk about on a nylon carpet in non-leather soled shoes. You'll build up a very nice charge and be your very own battery.

LOL
I'm looking for a much more elaborate item.

Also, I'm not speaking of a charge that can be seen jumping from one person to another. I'm speaking of creating a charge that can be seen jumping from one's right hand to their left hand.

You would need a small insulated cable going across one of you hands to the center of a insulated pad on the tip of your finger. This would easy to spot under any scrutiny.

the charge could be generated using a starter out of a gas cooker or for a smaller spark one out of a flint less lighter.

I was going to reply to this before I realised what an idiot I am.

You could carry a piece of carpet around in your pants, Dankai :D

*ahem* lol
that was creative nonetheless.

You would also need to wear a rubber glove as the reason people collect static from carpets is due to their rubber soles. It's the same way the van de graph generator works. I can't remember exactly how though.

Is this a question from the eighties? I fashioned one with a B&H pack for arcade games. I was seven at the time.

I know a guy who's well into all kinds of electrical stuff like Tesla coils and van der Graaff generators etc, people call him "The Prof". He might have some ideas but it's a long time since I've been in touch with him.

Not the way you think. I don't want a charge that will show when touching another person. I want the spark to show when you hold your own two hands in close proxy.

See what you can dig up and PM me if you would.

My idea did not work then:o. Just out of interest what was the hangup?
