How Can A Tesla Coil Or Generator Kill You? - Building Tesla Coils To Power Your House For Free

How can Tesla coils kill you? Except for its high voltage? Well, one could drop on your head, but beyond that, they're pretty hard to kill someone with. They're more likely to burn you than shock you. That's because they're such feeble sources of current that any substantial conductive path, like your insides, just loads and detunes the coil and reduces its voltage range from deadly to annoying.

Generally the only way the thing can interact with your body and still remain running is to find a high-impedance path down the outside of your skin. This is the old 'shower of arcs' beloved of everyone who ever saw one of these fool things at the county fair.

It's useful to note that the Tesla coil is not a particularly useful device for doing anything but impressing people with. It was never meant to be: as a young man, Tesla used to lug the thing to county fairs and raise money for his research by giving exhibitions consisting mainly of his being covered with arcs and miraculously surviving.

Tesla coil outfits have been used for about a hundred years by bogus preachers claiming the protection of the Lord from the forces of Satan embodied in the arcs

If you're thinking of Red Alert, it doesn't quite work like that. If you got between two coils, then yes, it probably would kill you. The amps across your heart would cause it to stop. If it's a lot of energy, your body would burn. If it's across your brain, you'll blow a fuse.
