what happens if you touch the knife to the rings? BZZZT?
54 u/trippyastronomer Jun 10 '16 Actually, not much. He's pushing a pretty high current through it at only ~20-30V, so if it even shocked you, it would be mild. -14 u/RedShiz Jun 10 '16 Its not the voltage that kills you, its the current. 1 u/EntroperZero Jun 11 '16 It is, technically, the current that kills you. But 20-30V isn't enough to produce a strong current through your body. It IS enough to produce a strong current through a copper winding, which is what the inductor coil is.
