A $.02 Ball Zinger

Hey Dogma, I am dying to put my hands on a non-working, voltage cancelling, not good for nothin’ Blakoe ring. I will gladly make you two BZ to your specifications in exchange for the Blakoe. Want to trade?

Sarcastic arent we?

By the way, here’s a pic of the over priced “Blakoe Ring”. See how little bit of metal is actually in this thing??

Can anyone find out if we can use a nickel instead of sanding down a penny? I figure a jump from 2 cents to 6 cents isn’t too big for an assload of work in sanding.

U.S. nickels are an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. No good. Sanding pennies smooth isn’t that hard. I did 2 in about 10 minutes.

Update:

The glue on the velcro isn’t the strongest stuff. A penny came unstuck today. I put on a new piece covering more of the coin’s area. If it comes loose again I’ll use epoxy.

The zinc and copper were tarnished after only a couple days. I checked voltage before and after cleaning (sanding) and didn’t read much difference. Changes in placement cause more variation. I generally get higher voltage when they are lower on my balls.

The velcro strap is working pretty well on balls only and hasn’t fallen off yet. I’ve walked quickly on a treadmill, lifted weights and mowed my yard with it on.

As for effects, nothing so far.

Does your backyard look like it has crop circles now? (:

Another way is just to use some water, salt and aluminum foil. You create a circuit like the zinger in a cup, but faster acting because aluminum and copper are farther away on the redox table than zinc and copper. Just need something ionic in the water. Salt is the easiest to find around the house. The aluminum will be oxidized and the copper oxide reduced to copper.

For attachment, why not just use a little square of electrical tape for each one and tape one on one side and one on the other? It doesn’t pull that much hair out!

OOuch!! Electrical tape around your balls….eh?

Seriously, I like your idea of using aluminum foil in a saline solution to reduce the copper oxide. It will try that.

Sticking them on would be ideal if a good adhesive can be found. Electrical tape isn’t sticky enough to stay on my scrotum.

We need some kind of tape or band-aid like thing that is sweatproof.

Why not just superglue them to a shoelace?

I’d like to not use a strap or lace.

If you wear whitey tighties you could potentially rig them to your undies.

Yeah, I thought of using a jock strap. My briefs don’t stay tight enough to maintain good contact.

Any reasons why you are avoiding the strap method?
