electric kissThe Electric Kiss re-enacted The Electric Kiss is an (in)famous scientific demonstration first conceived by the German scientist Georg Mathias Bose (1710 – 1761).

The Electric Kiss became very popular in the 18th Century, when performances involved an attractive young lady being charged up to a very high electrical charge by means of an electrostatic generator. She would invite someone from the public to kiss her, just before the moment supreme, a strong discharging spark would jump between their lips.
