Hello. I am trying to create a type of pseudo-medical device. It will use a charge going across two metal conductors in close proximity into already lost/leaked blood, to stop the device and prevent injury. I am trying to come up with a way to boost the charge after it crosses the fluid. I need it to trigger a solenoid which requires 6v. I am hoping to use a 9v battery for this, but can't get sufficient charge across the fluid to activate the solenoid. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the vagueness, but I'm in the process of getting a provisional patent and don't want to say too much just yet. BTW I have very limited electronics knowledge, so please be gentle. Thanks - Russ
