I didn't really see the need to check to see if my question had been answered already, lol.
In any case, a detailed summary - Many of my inventions involve using electromagnetic energy to better human health in some manner. I have reason to believe that this arrangement, in some form or another, will do so. However, as this project is rather ambitious, for a couple reasons, I thought it best to seek out the advice of an expert or experts before trying it myself. I do not experiment on animals, ever, and I always try my ideas myself, first. I am aware of the dangers (disruptive discharge, electrocution, etc.), and I choose to take those odds. With as fastidious safety preparations as can be had.
I can be dissuaded, however, I prefer if that is not the exclusive content of replies. The possible gains are too high for this not to happen, so happen it will. In one form or another. I will appreciate, and will engage in reasoned discourse. Simple "You'll electrocute yourself, idiot!" type ad hominem replies, not so much. Thanks for your restraint. I have tried this at much lower and much higher DC voltages, but never with a source of sufficient current to charge the capacitor fully. Feel free to engage in speculation.
One arrangement, the primary one I have in mind at the moment, is to use those disc rectifiers for incandescent light bulb sockets, that were first made available some decades past, but are are still extant. To make a half or full wave rectifier and perhaps also a voltage doubler. To utilize AC home line current, from the outlet, as the voltage source.
One variation of this arrangement will have it running straight up as a plate capacitor, and one involves switching the polarity of the plates at regular intervals, ranging from 1 minute to 15 minutes. However, for the purposes of my inquiry, consider only the first option, for now. A human being with a well-insulated metal plate over both the front and back of their torso. Or one in which the person lies, which is a couple inches longer and wider than their body.
Now, as regards my quandaries. There is a model of the human body for use in bioelectromagnetics-type scientific calculations. However, the model is flawed. It predicts that electric fields will not penetrate the human body, that they will only travel over the surface. And if the strength of the electric field is increased until it does penetrate, then it will simply travel over the surface of internal structures in a similar way as a lesser field travels over the external body surface. The fact that it is flawed is made intuitively obvious by way of Tumor Treating Fields, which is the something not in any way associated with my work, and which uses a 3 volt modulated AC electric field to shrink brain tumors, over time. It does this effectively - https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_doyle_treating_cancer_with_electric_fields
That's one consideration. Others are as follows -
Firstly, I am concerned that because of the source of voltage, some voodoo that I don't understand will occur, and the capacitor will charge to some high voltage until disruptive discharge occurs, or something else. I don't know what I don't know as to AC line current. Do I need a current limiter, a ballast of some kind?
Secondly, I have a small bullet fragment within my torso. I realize that this may act as a third plate, making it seem like the arrangement would be as a pair of capacitors wired in series. However, I am also aware that aneurysm clips are not pulled out through the body by MRIs. I also realize these are not the same thing. However, the one may convey a clue about how the other will behave. Your thoughts?
Thirdly, if I have such a capacitor charging or charged and sandwiching my torso, do I need to be fastidious about distancing my extremities from metal? Would the charge flowing through my body discharge from my fingertips and toes to metal? To nails in the floorboards? Would it damage a computer?
Fourth, if I do make a (simple) voltage doubler, what manner of capacitor should I use?
There are more questions, but certainly these should suffice for now. Thank you so much for your time.
