Muscle relaxant/stimulant circuit

[missfangula]

Hello,

For my final project in a college introductory circuits class, I am supposed to build something that produces a "wow" factor. I am interested in building a muscle stimulant, and already found some circuit schematics online that I could use. I am now wondering if anyone has any creative suggestions for something to add to this muscle stimulant idea that would make it more "wow."

Thanks!
:-)

I did some measurements on a commercial muscle stimulator.

It generated bursts of short pulses of DC with an amplitude of about 50 volts. These short pulses, delivered in a batch of 1 to 5 pulses (variable control for this) were followed by a period of no output for a second or so (also variable).

While this worked well, I declined the offer to make one, partly for patent reasons and partly because there are real hazards in applying such voltages efficiently to the human body.

It would be difficult to prove that a disability that showed up in 5 years was not related to the use of this gadget.

So, I would suggest that you consider some other project that does not involve human body contact.
