I was curious that would it be harmful to touch a 400kv generator. could someone guide me through.
any help would be appreciated
Wearing nylon socks, walk across a rug floor.
It’s probably not a great idea as that voltage can flash over a great distance , how would you limit the current ( unless it’s from your socks)
Stick to a PP3 and live longer
thanks for the reply but want to know the intensity of pain
What scale do you want the information in?
I feel as it has very low current it can't cause much harm than just mild pain
out of 10, preferably with description.
About 10, it will hurt like hell. If you actually survive the encounter it will only last a short time.
alright...but it does not make sense how that low of a current (0.5mA) could make it a really bad pain
Pain is not proportional to current but to voltage. A mains schlock I would only rate as a 4.
Ever had a static electric shock, the current is much much lower than 0.5mA? It is a sharp intense pain, as intense as I can imagine and as intense as anything I have encountered and that includes two weeks of untreated and undiagnosed gout.
About 3mA across the chest is enough to kill you.
Is it operating correctly and actually producing that voltage? Is the voltage AC or DC or just static electricity? In either case, you would begin to get burned by the arc long before you actually got to touch the voltage. By the way, you have not told us WHERE you are intending to touch the generator?
I have no way of knowing as I cant measure it with a multimeter,it is DC I was intending to touch the arc that would generate.

That will throw you on your ass, your head will hit the floor and you will die.
Don't.
For that matter, don't use it on any person other than yourself either, unless your life goal is to commit accidental manslaughter and go to prison.
The product description reads to me as if this is intended for homemade tasers and that is a horrifying and terrible idea.
Similar devices, but much lower voltage are used to create an ionized air flow, or a de-ionized air flow, depending on how they are wired. A set of needle points in the air flow are charged by the voltage and create - or + ionized air molecules that will neutralize any ESD charge on your circuit board, as you are handling it.
The potential difference between your body and the device will cause a temporary arc which will feel like a BURN on your skin.
The insulation on the wires make me question the actual voltage it produces. More likely only a thousand volts. Any more would go right through the PVC insulation.
ok thanks for informing, any other spark generator strong enough to act as a lighter.
Sure. My barbecue uses one powered by a single AA cell. You can order replacements on-line. I had to replace mine a few years ago.
My brother has recently retired from the power industry, he was an electrical engineer working in power stations. He explained it to me as if you were lucky it killed you instantly. If you were unlucky you died slowly in hospital in great pain because the damage to your body could be so great they couldn't give you any pain killers.
I don't want it to be piezoelectric based
Then get one that is not.
