@mythril4 actually it's the watts that kill you

[revorocks123]

All you people arguing about what kills you.

You need a moderately high voltage to overcome the resistance of the skin.

With little current it won't harm you. With low voltage but high current it does nothing, it physically cannot flow through you. With high resistancr you need a high voltage to flow through it, but again with low current no harm is done.

It's only a combination of these that kill you. You NEED the voltage for the current to take an effect.

@TimpBizkit actually its the current, amps..

@KaitharVideo Oh yes those ones are good. Energy conservation laws apply and are observed everything in the Universe, yet SOMEHOW, the Government has broken this law. Free energy YO!

[KaitharVideo]

@revorocks123 don't these people realise that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace?

My personal favourites are the people that insist the government is suppressing free energy tech.

[revorocks123]

@KaitharVideo That's fair enough, this is YouTube don't forget, 90% of the community seem to be complete idiots so you're right there! It's hilarious watching the people saying the sun is a laser owned by the government,and they can tell by the massive line they get on their camera when pointing it at the sun. Scary to think that they genuinely believe it!

@revorocks123 This is why when talking about electrocution I like the description "decent voltage". Has the same implications, but doesn't risk said average joe picking up dangerous ideas from misinterpreting a necessarily vague description. But then again, there are so many people adamantly supporting conspiracy theories that you have to wonder if any amount of explanation will straighten out their understanding.

[revorocks123]

@KaitharVideo Well yes you're right there.

For it to be classified as a HV then yes the figures are much larger, I'm explaining it to the average joe who doesn't have use HV or EHV classifications...

People that don't work or study that area classify things by what they usually encounter, so to most people a plug socket is a high voltage, and a 1.5V is a low voltage. That doesn't mean it is officially. Sorry for any confusion.

[KaitharVideo]

@revorocks123 but even 220V mains isn't "high voltage"... for purposes of mains wiring, 400V cross phase can be referred to as high voltage, but in terms of physics it doesn't become high voltage until you have at least 4 figures. 2kv-4kv is barely enough to be high.

110 might be high relative to a 1.5V AA battery, but that's about it.

[revorocks123]

@KaitharVideo ffs lol, when I say moderately high I'm not talking in relation to these 230kv lines... I know a plug socket can electrocute you so obviously it's less than 230 or 120 in the US, I didn't know the actual voltage threshold, as it will vary from person to person, skin type, oils and liquids, temperature and liquids on the skin... I was just giving a vague answer.

[KaitharVideo]

@revorocks123 "moderately high voltage"? How about no.

Assuming clean, dry and unbroken skin, current can flows at as low as 50VAC, which is pathetic voltage, and even as little as 60mA can kill you. If the skin is punctured the resistance of the skin is bypassed and the lethal current drops further.

agreed Fujios amps kills you revorocks is on the right track but a lil off
