    Yes, these are really neat. Bert Hickman, the guy who makes these, it an enthusiastic Tesla fan (Tesla is the scientist who invented AC current) and a really nice guy. He puts a lot of work into each one.

    Here are the details.

    It would be pretty cool to see what happens to a silver trime!

    I think he invented electric AC and Edison, thinking of the danger and pushing the competitive DC, suggested electrocuting smoebody with it.

    I believe Tesla was a proponent of DC

    Seems as though they tested an elephant with out a problem

    Tesla was AC current, and it was Edison who electrocuted the elephant as a demonstration of the "dangers" of AC current. He also regularly provided similar demonstrations on the local level electrocuting dogs and cats. (His men got the annimals by offering money to neighborhood children. When Edison's men were in the area, household pets often disappeared.)
