Re: 100% positive offset

Several years ago, I took the ParaZapper MX and changed the output to a Beck style zapper and most users told me that it was better than the MX except for one thing. They got skin burns easier.

What I found is that the output of the BBBE is deceptive in that it is NOT AC but only appears to be so because of its electrical nature.

With the BBBE device, the output is alternately inverting. On one half cycle, one electrode is positive and the other is ground. On the other half of the cycle, the electrode that was positive becomes ground and the ground electrode becomes the positive. For this reason, there is always a positive output at one electrode or the other. The scope just does not see what is happening.

However, that does not provide a positive offset on the output which requires a resistive divider stage on the output.

I believe that the difference lays more within the frequencies applied, the accuracy of the frequencies, and the fact that both Beck and Clark were wrong. No one single frequency can do it all.
