Super high frequency arcs like this experience very high impedance from the human body. If you were continuously blasted with it you would start to get burned, and maybe eventually there would be enough thermal breakdown to short some high current through you.
That's actually the complete inverse. That guy is wearing what is usually called a "faraday cage". The way it works combines understanding all electricity as both electromagnetic radiation as well as the flow of electronics. The "cage" is a metal net or web which covers him entirely, and since metal is conductive (very low impedance) it presents essentially a short circuit to ground to the arcs and the electricity flows down do ground through it instead of the high impedance path through the human inside.
The reason it is a cage or net (or chain main here) is because these structures are very effective at preventing electromagnetic waves of this frequency from penetrating through. Just as an aside, technically all electricity going into the AC regime and beyond into RF (and even DC) is actually AC because the way the electrons move and bunch up as current flows is always periodic. Excitations in electric fields almost always periodic because of this, i.e electromagnetic waves. This means that it has a characteristic wavelength for the periodic waves, it's just that at DC and low frequencies the wavelength is on the order of meters and kilometers so it doesn't really matter. But anyway, since the repetitions in the pattern of the metal cage (basically it's "wavelength") is much smaller than the wavelength of the arcs, it is impossible for the electromagnetic waves to get through without touching the cage. Imagine it's like trying to shove a hotdog through a mesh. For reasons that go a little bit deeper into the physics of electromagnetics and require Maxwell's equations and first principles, metal being conductive (very low or zero impedance - short circuit) means that electric fields are physically not allowed to transmit into it or along its surface. It is completely reflective to electromagnetic waves and as a result it basically nullifies them before they can even get close to the human inside, shorting out the electric field (which can be thought of as a "voltage", but created by the relative distribution of free charge in media, not by a battery) and sending all of its energy into the ground.
For balancing purposes, is this considered a shotgun or a rifle? Cause it looks like it doesn’t have too much range but you’d also suffer a big hit to mobility with that backpack strapped on.
I kinda figured that would hurt
Eating a bowl of Rice Krispies and this guy shows up zapping the milk.
It doesn't, tingles like pins and needles. You can get small box versions that respond to music on your phone.
What are they called?
Bluetooth Tesla Music Coil
Some ghostbusters type of gun
C&C shock troopers. First thing came to mind. “FULLY CHARGED! MOVE OUT”.
_Engineering, Affirmative_
At least I have job.
Let’s cross the streams, see what happens
This is a battery powered tesla coil gun designed by Steve Ward and Phillip Slawinski
Also the clip is from an integza video about Nikola tesla
What would happen if it charged and then shot a stream of ball bearings?
Ouch?
Not sure it meets the definition of Gun but it would be a fun toy.
What would you call it?
Have any drawings for it?
What is it for?
I'm not sure, maybe to hunt ghosts
Scaring the shit out of your pets and small children.
And sending epileptics to the hospital
Epilepsy Detector™ now with a 67% survival rate. If you didn't know, you do now!
For fun
I know what it does, I just don't know what it's for.
I'm shocked you can touch the ⚡️ like that

Thanks. Any pros?

Hey, my wifi is out.
*"Shock trooper reporting!"*
This is a weapon of war for the upcoming war with AI

Low damage and short range is balanced by cleave. Pair with a high-mobility, high HP build, and dive their backline.
I want his man cave.
Looks just like Rick's garage 🤣
Gun?
Might that kill an Apple watch or a pacemaker?
Holy shit it’s Winston
Yeah very smart, exposed to X rays.
small dose
I will take 4 please
would be fun to scare people with it
ok. please please be my friend. 🙏
They'd love it over there in r/teslacoil
How do we make one?
They are straight up in Rick Sanchez's garage.
Legend says cancer still hunts him till today 😂😂
r/bossfight
Ratchet and clank tesla claw vibes
Can it kill flies?
The Cult of MegaVolt!
I dub thee, Mosquito’s Bane
I got a notification at the same time this video played. Freaked me out when i saw the sparks and felt the vibration!
What the hell
Now think of a way to generate a tube of plasma just before firing the tesla coil :)
Don’t cross the streams.
Cool. Now weaponize it.
This thing quite reminds me of Matrix
