Don't try this at Home Please!! Electro Man (Stan Lee Superheros Series)

I love topics like this, not the usual hum drum negative news, but of people who can display remarkable feats most normal people can not even consider.

This is part of the History Channels Premier reality series of Stan Lee's Superhero's .

Rajmohan Nair is an Indian fellow who can conduct huge amounts of electricity without suffering any harm to his body and person.

Bare exposed wires are wrapped around him and then powered. The electricity flows from the plug, through Rajmohan, and to a light bulb and, later on, a hotplate.

For some reason when he is conducting large amounts of electricity Mr Nair can not see as his eyes do not work.

Anyway guys here is the video so enjoy.

I saw that episode when it aired and the first thing that came to my mind was that they never tested the current running from the power supply to the fakir. Put the meter in the circuit. Duh. They never did that, they only tested the power supply. It leaves open the possibility of a trick and I think that's what it is.

That is a good point. I did not consider that to be honest.

Nice spot there Phage.

You will notice a complete lack of arcing upon connection (and more importantly) disconnection with the skin. Also, not a hint of muscle spasm or contraction. I would suggest that perhaps this is a clever trick using a high gain semiconductor for switching. Not buying this for even half a cycle (@ 50 - 60 Hz).
