This is plugged into the wall, so 120 volts of electricity, and this, someday well show our kids and go this is an antique called an incandescent light bulb. There will be kids that go wheres the l. E. D. . We go a long, long time ago it looked like this. Let me plug this in and show you what 120 volts of electricity looks like through the regular light bulb. Theres a lot of heat given off. This is our regular light bu electricity . In order to change the electricity, well use this device here called a transformer invented by Nicholas Tesla. When you hear that, you think of the tesla car. Thats his motor, his design. Tess laughs the innovator. Tesla was the innovator. He didnt do things just to be different. He did thing that were amazing and to do things things that were amazing and to do things better for everybody. Yes. 50 now volts of electricity, 120 in, 50,000 out. So you cant touch the top. All right. What would happen if we took this normal light bulb and put it into the top here like this and we put 50,000 volts of electricity through it . This is so good. This is where i might back away from the table. The lights will dim and watch what happens when i squeeze. Theres 50,000 volts, but at this. Nice.

Its not going in my body. Its going around my body. Watch. If you hang onto this light bulb here and take your lan and put it over here like this and your hand and put it over here like this and hold. This do you see it . Yeah. If the traveling on your body. Stop talking to me. If i dont touch you, watch this. Electricity travels. You see . Yeah. Thats the last on and off with the lights. A long time ago they used Something Like this to be able to cure cancer or so they said. Oh. They would say if you had some bad part on your body, you would do this, feel that . Yes. People thought that would cure cancer. Of course, it doesnt. Thought he could take wireless electricity and send it all over. It can actually cause the light bulb to light up around here without even touching. Thats kind of what its all about. I wanted you to touch 50,000 volts, realize it travels around your body, not through your body because we are using something called a transformer.
