Human Body Capacitance and Resistance

YOu're such a liar, AlwaysWrong.

You are such a retarded, pussy boy Williams.

Read it again. It is obvious that I was correcting him. Obvious
unless you arrived here from your mother's ass, shithead.

There's that scat fetish oozing out again, DimBulb.

There's that scat fetish oozing out again,

No... sorry... I do not like you, therefore I have no scat fetish.
I'll let you work the math there. Bwuahahahahaha!

DimBulb.

You got that wrong too.

Ah, DimBulb, you can admit your fetish. You do every day.

I'll let you work the math there. Bwuahahahahaha!

You can't do math.

You got that wrong too.

Nope. You keep demonstrating just how wrong you are, _always_, AlwaysWrong.

Bodies certainly have skin effect.

Not at line frequencies, they don't. Idiot.

That's one reason high-frequency
current burns skin but doesn't penetrate to internals.

No, that is NOT the reason why, idiot. Nor does it number among the
reasons why.

All conductors have skin effect.

All metallic conductors have a skin effect at high frequencies.

Bulk mediums like a carbon comp resistor and like human flesh do not
"conduct" the same way that a formed wire does. They do not conduct
current in the same manner as single valence metallics do, and they do
not experience your precious skin effect in any similar way whatsoever.

It's inherent in the physics.

Yes, where it applies. The problem with you, Johnny, is that you do
not know where it applies.

Wrong, as always.

Yes, you are.

I touch the other person, to equalize our potentials, before handing
off anything that might care. Ditto touching a metal workbench.

John

The metal workbench will do absolutely nothing if it is not properly
bonded to ground.

Johnny, wrong again, as usual.

What fucking retard put metal benches in an electronic shop? I'll bet
that you are stupid enough to call them "ESD safe workstations" too!

You are soooooooo dumb!

Oh... that's right, the retard that is John Larkin does that. How
stupid.

"Although skin effect limits Tesla currents to the outer fraction of an inch
in metal conductors, the 'skin depth' of human flesh at typical Tesla coil
frequencies is still of the order of 60 inches (150 cm) or more."

Check your facts, John. ;-)

All metallic conductors have a skin effect at high frequencies.

Bulk mediums like a carbon comp resistor and like human flesh do not
"conduct" the same way that a formed wire does.

Actually, they do. Skin effect is due to eddy currents. Alwayswrong is
always wrong. ;-)

John

I always do that as well.
Have to explain it to non-engineer types or they think I'm gay

 

[Archimedes' Lever]

Actually, they do. Skin effect is due to eddy currents. Alwayswrong is
always wrong. ;-)

Tim

The flow in bulk mediums differs from that of solid, metallic
conductors. The eddy current propagation and the flow itself differs. The
'skin effect' differs.

You are a goddamned idiot. Again you said "hole post".

It is WHOLE post, you retarded little bitch, and your stupidity in that
matter alone means that NOTHING you say has ANY credence
what-so-fucking-ever.

You dig, BOY? Now take your gang boy, raised wrong by both Daddy and
Mommy, obvious dumbfuck mentality and **** off and die!

So you wanna publicly *outright curse* at someone in a mere petty
spelling flame? No wonder many consider your mentality to be of a
"schoolyard" one, at grade level short of junior high school.

 

[Don Klipstein]

Also, given the hypothesized rapid rise time, doesn't most of the
current flow on the surface ie skin - a literal "skin effect"?

I would apply to the above a combination of Fourier transform for a
frequency spectrum analysis, combined with the skin effect formula.

Please keep in mind the DC component of a quick DC pulse or a quick
asymmetric AC pulse! A short unipolar pulse is roughly as bad as 50-60 Hz
AC! In addition to AC component at frequencies in spectral analysis at
frequencies near/below 1 KHz or 400 Hz or so, and frequencies from around
1 to 20 KHZ get deweighted rather than discounted!

The dumbfuck in question was attacking my knowledge of electronics and
the human body.

He was wrong. So are you for not reading the entire thread.

Pretty simple. Get it right with yourself.

Oh yeah. Back in the early 1970s i kept sensitive MOS the cards in the
factory black plastic bags and equalized (touching he other hands) before
handing it over in the bag. So on and so forth.
