THE CURE FOR ALL CANCERS
holds. Any electronics shop can do this. It should read
between 20 and 40 kHz.
- Optional: measure the voltage output by connecting it to
an oscilloscope. It should be about 7 to 8 volts.
- Optional: measure the current that flows through you
when you are getting zapped. You will need a 1 KΩ re-
sistor and oscilloscope. Connect the grounding bolt on the
zapper to one end of the resistor. Connect the other end of
the resistor to a handhold. (Adding this resistor to the cir-
cuit decreases the current slightly, but not significantly.)
The other handhold is attached to the other bolt. Connect
the scope ground wire to one end of the resistor. Connect
the scope probe to the other end of the resistor. Turn the
zapper ON and grasp the handholds. Read the voltage on
the scope. It will read about 3.5 volts. Calculate current by
dividing voltage by resistance. 3.5 volts divided by 1 KΩ
is 3.5 ma (milliamperes).
