Oh I've gotten over 2,000 volts DC before, off a He/Ne laser power supply I was mishandling, but fortunately for me it was operating at about .0015 amps. Still felt like I'd been shot with buckshot though.
Yeah those amps'll get ya
yep, it's the amps that'll kill ya rather than the voltage. can't have one without the other though.
Not that I've tested it. But I'm pretty sure it's that watts.
Watts = Voltage * Amps
That's how much energy you're actually getting hit by. The way I've had it explained to me is. Voltage is the diameter of the pipe, amps is how fast it is flowing through it. Watts is how much total volume is flowing over time.
Diameter of the pipe is resistance. Volts is more like water pressure and amp is like flow rate. See ohms law.
That's why some random fusebox can kill you with a milliamp (stop your heart) but you can run into an electric fence with 1000s of volts and get back up. As amps drop voltage increases.
other way round
How often do you get shot?
You can see the effects of buckshot on another and therefore have some idea of the sensation if you're not an autistic jackass.
some idea
Eh, not so sure about that.. the accuracy of that Idea in terms of sensation..
