Homemade Electrocardiograph
Welcome to my web page on how to make a simple ECG (electrocardiograph - also known as an EKG). Here you will find information how how to build one with less than $10 in parts. But before we get started, let's take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all of the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how ....ummmmm, sorry. I guess I got into a little New Yankee Workshop moment there. :) Anyways, I do want to talk about safety. This device requires you to strap electrodes across your chest. This is inherently dangerous. Both because of the pain caused by sticky tape pulling hairs out of a person's body and also because even small currents can kill. Do not attempt this experiment
if you are not comfortable around electrical devices unless you fully understand the potential problems with this device. I am not responsible for any harm you may cause yourself.
