  • Now try that with few amps

  • the guys got a complete grounded suit, he's not in any kind of danger.

  • original Darth Sidious

    

  • Simple logic. Voltage dosent kill you but current does.

  • @TineLoveVosso Due to his condition I think I could take him.

  • surprised he felt anything at all inside a Faraday suit. Must be leaky?

  • Dr. Manhattan -.-

  • I wonder if his hand twitched for a while after this.

  • 400kv is easy to make. You don't want anything thing more than a fraction of an 1/3 amp with that voltage.
