How it works

What this project is testing.

This is best framed as a hazardous high-voltage demonstration, not a wearable project to reproduce.

The science is about concentrating electric fields, switching a discharge on command, and understanding why insulation, distance, and stored energy determine the risk.

U = \frac{1}{2} C V^{2}

Stored electrical energy can grow quickly as voltage rises.
