A zapper is only as good as its electrodes

For the overall performance of a Beck Zapper, the electrodes have at least the same importance as the zapper electronic circuit itself. Dr. Beck didn’t use standard electrodes, because their profile exceeds the area of the blood vessels.

According to Dr. Beck, the contact area of the zapper electrodes should be compatible to the width of the vessels (have about 1/8 inch or 3 mm width) and not exceed a certain length (3 cm), because otherwise the dissipative currencts become too strong. (inefficient currenct, due to decreased focus).

Electrode gel is THE medium for assuring a good electric contact. It is absolutely skin neutral. Salt, which has also been used by Beck in his Zapper prototypes, can irritate the skin and corrode the electrode surface very fast. You are always free to house the electrodes additionally in cotton, but we don’t recommend it, because of leakage into tissue.

A) gold plated miniZAP® special electrode with vessel compatible cross section

B) conventional Beck zapper brass or copper electrodes with circle cross section

Electric current concentrates in the artery.

Elektric currenct is dispersed dissipatively throughout the tissue.

Gold is resistent against almost all acids, even hydrochloric acid. Only aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, can dissolve gold. This is the reason why the miniZAP® uses gold. Regardless, whether salt water or electrode gel or anything else is used - the surface doesn corrode or oxidise, in contrary to the brass and copper electrodes.
