What you need:

• 1 meg ohm resistor(any wattage or tolerance will do
• Copper tape or foil
• a piece of wire(you can use all of the wires from a btoken cord if you like0
• bracelet(This should allow the copper tape to stick)
• one alligator clip

Step 1 cover the whole bracelet with copper tape

Step 2 solder a piece of wire to the copper tape. Do not solder the resistor to the tape. By doing that the connection will be bridal and break off.

Step 3 take the resistor and solder it to the wire which connects to bracelet

Step 4 solder another wire to the resistor to the ground clip, again don’t solder the resistor directly to the ground clip, it could break off.

Step 5 measure the meter in a range that is in greater than 1 meg ohm to see if it measures 1 meg ohm. If it does than your all done
