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.- Hide quoted text -

DC is worse than AC, with AC there is a momentary time when the
voltage/current goes thru zero and muscles can relax and let
go(sometimes), With DC there is no such chance.
