What impedance are you?

I was bored, so I figured I would take my multimeter, and do some readings.

My head (probes on temples) 11 ohm

My thumbs 1.2 ohm

My ballbag 1.8 ohm

Funny thing is, each reading listed above is what it says initially - but every number slowly, but steadily decreases. I didn't have the patience to sit still long enough, to see exactly how far it would go.

Cheers,
Russ

    It's all that beer and salty potato chips causing your impedence to drop.

    Dang randomness...

    What's your efficiency?

    If you read your nuts while you have a woody, you'll find that your total resistance really drops....:D

    I'm told I'm an impediment to alot of things! Liek work, sanity and usually something constructive. I just tell people that I don't have stress, I just carry it.

    Russ,

    I can see that you are an expert in this field, but I personally wouldn't worry too much about impedance, even though the normal 5:1 ratio of thumb to nuts has be erased by that itchy rash you had. Thus the nearly shorted reading.

    I think the resonant frequency of your balls is a more accurate measurement of your condition & should be measured by rapping your sack firmly with a ball peen hammer. Shoot for somewhere in the 200-300hz range. This is af course a "free air/infinite baffle"
    reading, so all ports must be plugged.

    Do this twice an day until the reading stabilizes and report back on this thread with the readings.

    I hope we can help get you normalized by Xmas.:D :D:D

    Cheers,

    All those readings are MOhm, not Ohm.

    I just did my thumbs again (one probe touching each), .9 mOhm difference when I'm wearing my watch.

    James, it's your electric personality.

    Sorry about your impedance problem, Russ. Maybe you should try Viagra? :confused:

    This portion of the program has been brought to you in part by Miller Brewing Company. Tastes Great!

    ...and Jim Beam distilleries. Candy's dandy but liquour's quicker.

    Did you really put that thing on your ballbag? Wait, nevermind. I already know the answer to that.

    My reproductive organs seem to be easy to drive but my brain is registering a 1ohm load, so I must be full of ****.

    I like to spray my nether region liberally with water, then wedge a 9volt battery under the "guts" and measure continuity with a Fluke VOM. The 9volt battery is just for fun and I registered 15.4ohm. Thumbs up.
