Hey C-H,

I saw a couple of those shows (when I was in the Philippines) where they sent "1,000,000 volts" through a guy who was standing on top of the device holding a 2x4 in his hands with a piece of tin foil. When they turned it on, the 2x4 burst into flames.

Does anybody know if that was AC or DC?

There were lightning bolts 6 feet long cracking off the device in all directions.

Can somebody explain what happened there? How does the 2x4 burn and the person doesn't?
