When a current passes through the human body, resistance decreases with time, so it is possible to feel a strong pain by touching the two terminals of a car battery after a while ... (probably several hours)
Probably because of the skin damage caused by electrolysis. I think this is why things that are meant to pass current through the body (TENS machines etc.) use biphasic pulses (positive and negative).

Ok so your video is basicly the thing i want to do. I think i can do it with this settup because i am able to touch the arcs from the topload and hold my hand there without it burning me or shockig me badly. I sad it only outputs arc around 20 cm et best. I guess it is pretty good for 2 cm width and 25 cm heigh secundary. So my question is am a even able to do it with such arcs. And can i just tape aluminum foil on plastic chair and stand on it or what? When i connect tc to foil it changes topload capacitante, so do i need to change mmc capacitance. I already tryed it but when i connect the char with the foil, the coil only gives 3 cm arcs at best, i configured my mmc to give max capacitance that they can for that number of caps, but probably it is not enough. So will i be able to do it if i buy more caps and make mmc bigger so that it matches tc secundary capacitance, and how long will arcs from my hand be? I mean if i have 20 cm now, will i have 20 cm from my fingers or the arc lenght will drop?

The length of the discharges still dropped somewhat, but I also did not try to get the same length at any cost. I think will still be smaller discharges. The primary LC circuit for a new load (human topload) must be tuned. Also, the position of the body and the hands changes the capacity to the environment and thus the frequency around the resonance is also tuned. Sometimes thanks to the position of the hand, diameters change the size of the discharges. There is also a need to enough coil performance... I used VTTC with GU-5B for human topload.
