High Voltage Person Made from Electronic Components

High Voltage Person Made from Electronic Components

 

 
Proto G made a nice soldered together figurine out of electronic components. I thought the design ended there with an interesting piece of art, but there is more. You will notice that Anthony is wearing some rubber gloves at the start of the video. The gloves are not a fashion statement but rather a safety measure (although in the video comments indicate that the gloves are not for safety). The fitting copper clad box base hold a high voltage power supply that jumps to life with a flip of the switch. The high voltage is then free to arc across either the wires in the hands or through the arms and through the chip depending on the path of least resistance. I have erased lots of the EPROMs with the exposed windows before but would have never though of jumping some arcs behind the window for this effect.
