All over the world, there are cases of human beings who claim they can harness the power of electricity. Who are they, what are there powers and can their claims be proved?
40 year old Jose Rafael Marquez Ayala from Puerto Rico looks like an average man; he earns his keep working as a TV repair man, and lives a bachelor existence in a small one bedroom flat. But outside of his seemingly unremarkable life, Jose hides an amazing secret, which, until now, not even those closest to him knew about. Jose can harness electrical power, and regularly withstands electric shocks from all kinds of items, and even mains from large buildings, with absolutely no adverse effects.
With an obsession for creating electrical devises in his workshop, Jose’s love for electricity began when he was a teenager, when he accidentally electrocuted himself and realised he couldn’t feel any pain. Since then, he claims that he has been able to harness electrical power and allows himself to be electrocuted as he goes about his work. He can also charge himself up from a TV, light cigarettes and even illuminate bulbs.
The scientific community is completely baffled by Jose’s gift, and rumours circulate that he is either a miracle man or a hoax. But he is not an isolated case; in the UK, others claim to have discovered strange electric powers.
I saw this guy on The Learning Channel the other night. Truly freaky.
The Discovery Channel must be running out of real scientific stories to report.
Having been an electronics tech and a TV tech years ago I agree with #20. Been bit by 30KV a couple of times, it really hurts, but as long as it doesn’t go through your heart it’s not deadly.
I witnessed another experienced TV tech get bit one time. Problem was his arm flew back and he hit his ‘funny’ bone on a bench and it slammed right back into the TV, then back and fourth about 5 times before he could break the cycle.
Funny as hell, but scary at the same time. He was sore for a week.
High frequency high voltage with low current.
Sadly, YouTube would not let me watch the video from overseas. But, as a couple of other have mentioned, it’s not the volts that kill, it’s the amps. Tasers fire at, what? 50 THOUSAND volts? This guy works with electricity, He knows how to get low amps and a discrete path across his body.
And, come on, Debbie tuns lights on and off as she walks down the street? Ah, jeez. Calling the Amazing Randi!
The best, though, is Zhang Deke charging himself up and cooking fish on his belly. Uhm, wouldn’t that cook hus belly, too?
Three stories, three hoaxes.
“This video is not available in your country or domain.”
wtf???
I live in Japan. This is the first time I’ve got this from google. Is this something new? I am used to not being able to access, video streams from ABC, CBS, Hulu and other hidebound American content providers. But, Google??? Now they are filtering content by IP address???
Anyone else experiencing this?
There are still people in the world who make a living fixing TV’s?
Don’t they have WalMart in Peurto Rico?
#25. Yeah…and a lot of poor people who cant afford new.
I remember as a kid once… once while in a back yard trying to hook up an ingenious communication system between neighbors involving live amplifiers and stripping wire with my teeth.

They should have tasered this guy.
is this guy crazy.

You talk sh** an ammeter can measure any amount of current in AMPS as long as the device is in the correct range! And you’re saying that it was too hard for the dumb ass physics students to connect an ammeter in series to the mains? You don’t need to know the current running through his body as there is no such thing as a current drop and i just wanted to know what current was running out from the mains. The documentary also never revealed the current which he was connected to. As for your frequency this is not even relevant! Didn’t you learn its Current that kills you not voltage. Giving that i ‘am a electrical engineer you can pretty much go f*** yourself
