I remember from some where, that tasers (used to shock people) might
run on a 9 volt transistor battery.

Warning-- If it doesn't seem like it is working, *DON'T* touch the
damn thing. That jolt is stronger than the buzz you get from a 110
line.

From two D cells? Well, I failed physics in the Rainbarrel thread, so
I'll try again. How can 2 D cells produce enough
voltage/amperage/whatever to shock a person?

How can walking across a wool carpet on a cold (outside) winter day and touching
a grounded object produce enough voltage/amperage to shock a person? In my dorm
in Cambridge Mass, I could draw a 3/4" spark.

How much more/less power than a couple D cells does a magnet moving past a coil
in a lawnmower magneto produce. Try one of those.

At enough voltage, it doesn't take much current to hurt.

And it only takes a few milliamps to kill.
