Most ParaZapper models use a special Current Control device to actively limit the current rather than a fixed resistor. This makes them significantly better but still maintains safety at the same time.
>- are you estimating that based on certain practices that you specify in the instructions for using the device? If the latter, then this assumes that each person is using saltwater soaked paper towels and are doing it the proper way.
Both, You can measure the output across a fixed resistor of various values from 100 ohms to 1000 ohms and get results within our specifications. Note that when using fixed resistors, the wave form has some distortion due to capacitive compensation. Whenever any Hulda Clark zapper is used for humans, it absolutely should be used with paper towels or other disposable absorbent material that has been soaked in salt water.
>- If I short the paddles and I get 4 milliamps (with 1 Kohm resistor in series with the paddles), and I can pass less than one tenth the current with one paddle in each hand, then that means that the interface of the paddles with my body and my body itself is presenting a total of over 10 kohms of resistance.
Absolutely.
Several factors here.
Output Voltago of the chip: ParaZapper uses an advanced chip that provides "rail to rail" output while most other zappers do not. This means that if the battery voltage is 9.6 volts with the unit turned on, then the output is at least 9.5 volts whereas zappers that do not have this output will only provide about 8.0 volts or even less.
Output resistance: The current is basically I=E/R. If E=8.0 volts, and R=1 kOhm then I = 8.0 ma peak, and at 50 % duty cycle, 4.0 ma. Constant current source provides the ability to adjust the output resistance based on the output current which is important for the next step.
Load Impedance: This is the combined resistance, inductance, and capacitance ( to simplify things ) of the object that the signal is applied to. If this is 1000 ohms then the current provided by the standard zapper will be I=E/(R+R) or 8/1000+1000 so that I = 2.0 ma average.
The Load Impedance is influenced by several variables. Skin resistance, contact area, internal resistance, body capacitance, electrode resistance, cable impedance.
Skin resistance can be overcome by increased contact area, conductive fluid ( salt water solution ), Increased body electrolyte concentration, more electrode locations, removal of highly keratinized skin, etc.
For this reason, wrist straps and TENS electrodes are very poor choices, a 4 point augmentation system ( 3 positive, 1 negative ) will increase conduction.
