Matt,
Can you share some of the theory behind the Barrett Personal Discharge Device?

Where do those pesky electrons go? The completed circuit is still through you, isn't it?

If I understand his device, the idea is that the circuit is completed, but through a 1 meg resistance. There is still a discharge, but it is lower current for a longer duration, and the energy is dissipated heating up the resistor rather than heating up air or skin.
