Ignition transformers have a short circuit current of around 30mA. Probably burned a hole through your dermis, though. The skin has a relatively high resistance. The initial high voltage is to assure enough current at the beginning to produce near instant loss of consciousness and burn a low resistance path through the skin. The maximum current at 1,750 is around 8.5 amperes. Once achieved, the voltage is often reduced to only 240 volts or less producing around an amp or so of current..
Fuck the voltage, how many amperes were involved? A half an amp is all it take to kill you so the whole 1,750 volts is just a bigger number to rile peoples feathers .. I got zapped by a 10,000 volt step up transformer for an oil fired furnace ignitor and I'm still here ..
Does anyone know any similar documentaries or movies about the death penalty in the US? I'd like to learn something more about this problematic and its history.
If what the Dr says there is a painless instantaneously loss of conscientious [when the switch is thrown] why are so many states unplugging their chairs and replacing them with lethal injection.
@lnn6785 Because it's not clean and sterile enough, and that makes people upset. America wants to project an image of being a modern civilized country, while also making capital punishment advocates happy. Electric chairs don't really fit that image like lethal injection does; injections are more like medical procedures, you know? Whereas this is more like B-grade horror.
Lets fire up ole Thunderbolt strap a child rapist down and test it out make sure its working.

Justice was killed in the electric chair? Oh the irony.

Instead of tying the condemned man to the chair, he could always be given the option to piss on it with the current switched on.

@Charbok001 Good, maybe that will make people think twice before they murder someone in cold blood.
