From my time at university doing electronics we observed that some people do cause this effect - one person in our department consistently shorted anything he touched. We never figured out why but I know a couple of other people who have the same problem.
- lutorm 16y agoMaybe depending on how "sweaty" people are, which would affect the contact resistance of their fingers?
- anigbrowl 16y agoIt's something different. I used to tune in radios by waving my hands around the antenna like a theremin. Some people seem to throw off more of an electrical field than others. Yes, I am available for bizarre scientific experiments.
- YuriNiyazov 16y agoThis comment made me smile - this is exactly what I did as a kid when my radio got static-y. Slightly changing my position with relation to the radio, without touching it, sometimes fixed it.
- jazzdev 16y agoI have the same relationship with the cheap clock radio in my bedroom. It sounds great when I'm in bed (to the side of the radio), but as soon as I get out of bed (in front of it) I have to turn the damn thing off because the reception gets terrible. I wonder if this means I shouldn't get the iPhone4? ;-)
