HOW TO BUILD A HAND BRICK
For parameterization and performance evaluation of the customer’s electrode design,
the Hillstar Development Kit contains a set of hand and spacer bricks. The hand brick
is a conductive block of 40x40x70 mm and represents a human hand. It must be
connected to ground via cable in order to simulate the grounding conditions of the
human body.
The Hillstar package contains an assembly set to build the hand brick consisting of a
Styrofoam block (40x40x70 mm) and an adhesive copper foil.
The following section explains how to assemble the hand brick.
1. Take the copper layer and the Styrofoam block with the dimensions of
