ABSTRACT:
A device for monitoring the continuity of a single-conductor wrist-strap, which may be used for monitoring the integrity of the electrical connection between a person's body and the ground.
The device is based on a phenomenon known as the "mains hum" inside the human body, which is the presence of several volts of 60 Hz AC inside the human body. The presence of such voltage inside the human body can be used to trigger some special types of electronic circuits. Such effect, in turn, can be used as an indication of the presence of the human body.
