Although copper and aluminum will generate a voltage similar to copper and zinc, I would avoid using aluminum. Long term exposure to it is toxic, and aluminum has been linked to several neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's. Also, by turning yourself into a human battery, you're actually forcing even more aluminum ions into your system than you would be just having casual contact with aluminum. I don't think it is worth the risk of doing long term damage to your brain or nervous system. :bomb:
Now by using zinc instead of aluminum, you'll be forcing zinc ions into your scrotum. But in this case that's a good thing because zinc is well known to be beneficial to the male reproductive system. I believe that's why the ROP has such dramatic effects on semen volume and testosterone production. It's not just the voltage that's important, it's the type of ions generated and absorbed. That's why simply strapping a standard 1.5v alkaline battery to yourself with two copper electrodes or wires would not be nearly as effective, even though the voltage would be a lot higher.
well dang, where can i get some zinc from around the house?
