Guest 7stringtechdeath Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well, I aquired some electrodes for free off a friend who gets a lot of them, and I thought I could simply attach them to a 9v battery and get shocked.But for some reason, they don't work when attached to a 9v. I don't know much about these electrodes, but they're your basic simple electrodes for electrode therapy that look like this.Basically only one terminal per electrode (meant to be used in a pair), female connector.I gently removed some of the plugs casing to expose the conductor which I connected each terminal from a 9v battery to. It didn't work.These are meant for a TENS machine, but I checked, they work on 9v too and two electrodes are simply connected into the machine like this, as you can see they are first connected to an ordinary adaptor and then to the machine.Any suggestions on how to make these electrodes work is appreciated!

audioguru Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 9V is too low a voltage to cause a shock. A tens machine boosts the voltage to at least 100V and pulses it.Shocking somebody is dangerous. Find something more useful to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
