Dan - the proximity touch circuit you describe would provide an off/on function to the atty, but it wouldn't provide the power to fire the atty up would it? My query was more about whether the human body can provide the function of the existing negative wire in the circuit - so that it can be eliminated. I expect this is impossible.
I would love to have a proximity switch - but building one is beyond my still level at the moment.
But the body acts as the negative side of the circuit in this description, not the gate trigger. Please don't try this.

Dan, you have something different.
I've been zapped by way more than 5 volts and I'm still here. Well it is amperage that kills you. Under the right conditions it only takes a couple of milli amps though. I've gotten zapped with 270 volts hugging a waste pipe while standing on the top of a ladder. I've since practiced proper ladder safety needless to say. Heart palpitations for the rest of the day BAD ...![]()
Ahhhh I misread this I guess, sorry about that...

No worries, but with your endorsement, someone might just give it a go![]()

LOL take the ground wire in you left hand and the 110v wire in your right hand and.....
Yeah thats all we need...
