the gauge of metal the pole is made from is pretty thin. on top of that, it’s very likely to be made from aluminum.
if electricity follows the path of least resistance, it would be through the person.
70% water
large contact surface
typically two points of contact from lower to upper. this is why you need to lower the wire as low as you can down the center of the pole with most of the insulation still on. you want to force the electricity to travel as far as possible until someone touches it.
Ok, you’re still failing here. The water content of a human body is irrelevant. A large contact area is irrelevant.
Let me make it easier for you. As I’m sure you know, to be electrocuted an electrical current needs to flow through someone’s body. What part of the neighbour’s body is the current going to enter, and which part is it going to leave?
Ikr, this at least makes the pole get hot because current is actually running through part of it.
But at no point is a human part of the path of least resistance for the electricity.
Incorrect.
stripper poles are tubes and spin on bearings. follow these instructions and you can most certainly electrocute someone with one.
What makes you think that will work? That sounds like a very complicated way of just connecting the common to live with no human in the loop.

the pole wouldn’t get hot unless it was made of a ferrous metal like steel or iron. most of these poles should be made of aluminum.
You’ve put a worrying amount of thought into this.
🤣 I really didn’t. I used to be a contractor and just understand how this stuff works.
best way to not kill yourself is to know the thousands of ways to die.
Do you really? It seems like you don’t actually understand, because this won’t work.
why not give it a try and come back to tell me I’m wrong.
I don’t need to, because I know how electrical circuits work. I don’t think you do. But, go on, explain why I’m wrong.
I didn’t know I was talking to a professional here!
what would be the resistance of a plate of 16 gauge aluminum over 9 feet long?
I’ll answer that for you, but first tell me what the (typical, average, ballpark) resistance of a human body is.
