Bigger shock through the proto-board is due to the capacitance between the pads. You have a bunch of little capacitors in series. The charge has to build up in the capacitors before it can discharge to your hand. Like a LEYDEN JAR!

There were early experiments on partial rectification of AC voltage with differently shaped spark gap electrodes in the air. This is what shocks you when you hold different metal objects to a Tesla coil spark. A certain percentage of the AC voltage is rectified and the current of the Tesla coil suddenly has a DC component. It works best if you only touch the longest sparks. You know those huge black ignition coils from 1900 when X-rays were discovered in vacuum tubes? They were low frequency, had an iron core and were non-resonant. It was realised that when generating air sparks with these coils and one electrode being a needle and the other a disc would produce longer sparks than vice versa.

Best channel on KZread hands down. I don't give a damn about electricity or know anything about it , but i binge you and learn allot cause i like seeing you get shocked 😂 because usually when you are shocked it's usually something i would do that did it lol. just don't die medhi we love you!

I got all excited and said, “Wow! At those tolerances, you would have to worry about gravity during casting the…..” and on and on I went. Eventually, I stopped and told them it must feel great to get that done. “What kind of engineer are you?” “I’m not, I sell motorcycles.” They said I had just described all the obstacles they had to overcome to get it done. I confused them so much, they avoided me the rest of the night.

@3:16 ish ♫ run , towards Metropolis ♪

excellent demo and circuit discussion sir!

Your first question about the prototype board hurting more is the charge selects the string of circles leading towards your fingers. The distribution of cathodes of the gun and the 2nd device cause parallel lines to run towards your fingers, then also vertical lines of discharge with the charge flowing into the air at the top and the bottom of the board. Then at some threshold of discharge into your fingers this flow is an easier path for the high voltage than flowing on the verticals paths and more of the charges moving vertically and horizontally but not visible (with the copper circles acting like little capacitors) all rush into your fingers. I can see it. Wait, wait, hmmm, okay yes, I can see it mentally.

0:48 to answer your question, the prototype board is more conductive than the air therefore it hurts more cuz the copper in it allows more electrons to pass through it and to get to your hand

They likely only use a resistor on that "PWM" line because the "PWM" signal from the controller is probably driven with an open-collector output, which means it switches between "pulled down to ground" vs "allowed to float" (it is never driven with a positive voltage at all). Essentially, the transistor driving it already serves the purpose of the diode in that case.
