[@coldunas]

***** RIP

[@SongwriterTaco]

Why is it that in the taser video he got shocked by 7000V and lived but in this video he says 120V is dangerous?

[@Coolkeys2009]

Michael Harvey When you walk across a carpet a touch a door knob and feel a shock that shock can be more than 8000v but that doesn't kill you. If you grabbed hold of a power line running your entire neighbourhood that was 8000v as well as stopping your heart and breathing it would also cook you. Why?

[@SongwriterTaco]

Coolkeys2009 Ok. however, it would still be more dangerous to get shocked by 120V AC than 7000V taser if the amount of time the current was passing through you was the same? right? because he only touched the taser for a brief moment, and that was still less dangerous than touching 120V AC for a brief moment.

[@Coolkeys2009]

Michael Harvey I'm not so sure, tasers are designed to be disruptive to the nervous system and can be lethal. There are higher power taser's available used by dubious governments for torture that run off batteries and that can easily kill.

It would be a good reminder to let everyone know that if you aren't killed immediately by touching 120VAC (or voltages around that range or higher), you can die afterwards (a few hours) due to heart problems. Always, after being shocked by a voltage like that, HEAD TO THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY to get yourself checked out for any issues with your heart.

[@saeidmomtahan]

This might already be answered in the comments. But I'd like to know why all of our home appliances are not DC powered if DC power is so much safer?

[@maxicx75v]

+Saeid Momtahan 1. Because it's hard to make AC from DC if you need it, but it's easy to make DC from AC. 2. Because AC voltage can be easily adjusted with a transformer. Lowering DC voltage requires more complicated circuit, raising it is even harder. 3. Electricity is transferred over long distances and transferring it in very high voltage greatly reduces losses. Combine that with previous point and you have one more reason.

[@ivanreynoso3849]

+Saeid Momtahan AC travels farther than DC

[@saeidmomtahan]

I understand and agree with all above comments. What I mean is converting AC to DC at the meter in each home and supplying all DC powered appliances

[@maxicx75v]

+Saeid Momtahan See my points 1 and 2

[@MrOmnos]

+Saeid Momtahan Different appliances require different dc voltages. When you convert dc to dc power loss is higher. If you were to supply your house with 170 volts dc and you need 5 volts for your phone charger, that remaining 165 volts is wasted and is dissipated as heat. This is just too costly and energy hogging. It is far more easier to convert an Ac voltage to lower or higher AC voltages using transformers. The only losses in a transformer is a Iron loss (which is because of the iron core of the transformer and is always constant for a given transformer) and the copper loss (which is because of the copper winding, this depends on the amount of current being drawn). These loses are fairly small and can even be reduced by using better core and winding materials. So, now if you need 5v for your charger you can use a 120-9v transformer and than use a regulator to get 5v output.

[@Uromastyxfanatics]

" I will not be repeating it because it hurts a lot and can kill" *REPEATS IT*

[@nico-bf1kr]

I'm surprised he can touch DC like this. I heard a story of the past in a french manufactury when everything was running on 110V. The worker got electrocuted. He was stuck by the current. He could not remove his hand. Eventually he managed to remove his hand from the electrocution and survived. And that's how we got his testimony. It is because of this problem that we moved to 220 AC because electrocution repells instead of catching.

This is exactly what I was looking for many days.

I hope they work. I am this to my DIY projects. Thank You Mehdi.

0:47 Electroboom: Plug it in now that circuit is hot and the voltages are this... *electroboom swearing*

[@FireAlarmTech7.]

When you touched the AC wires, you probably didn't plug it in because of how dangerous it is.

[@M4RC90]

Well, I accidentally touched 240V AC once and it was just a tiny tickle. But it scared the hell out of me. And I don't recommend doing that on purpose because it can kill you.

[@Magneticitist]

been shocked by 120v and 277v. neither occasion was I holding a wire in each hand. once I was even slightly shocked by holding a non contact tester to a hot wire standing on a ladder up against a light pole. the wire was wet because it had just finished raining, and the insulation had old cracks. the 120v trying to get to the ground through my metal ladder was enough to make me feel the 'buzz' and it wasn't a good feeling. most people only feel the shock of having a live wire try to use them to get to true earth ground (and get off lucky), rarely do they actually become a human resistor between a live and neutral/ground wire. in those situations it most certainly can be lethal.

It felt like liquid fire hit my veins and I was being stabbed by tons of knives. I could not move or feel my arm for over 10 minutes. My question is, What type was I hit with, AC or DC?

[@AgustinusLaw]

duude your heart could've stopped

[@NerdNordic]

Oh wow. Was that a USA plug? Scary.

[@NerdNordic]

And it was AC. So the dangerous one.

[@Gigaheart]

Well then, this one of those moments were you look back and realize YOU ALMOST DIED. The plug got stuck in the strip, so I one hand on the strip, and used the other to pull the plug. It ended up not working and was still stuck. Like an idiot, I wrapped my ENTIRE hand around the plug at the base and pulled, I ended up touching both prongs at once, which completed the circuit and ZING I was shocked. Immediately could not feel my arm and it felt like liquid fire was running through my veins and it was very tingly. It was so tingly I felt like a bunch of tiny knives were stabbing my arm. It actually didn't even make me cry, I was just a bit concerned. I could not move my arm on my own, I had to manually move it for 10 minutes and it felt dead and limp. Reading what you guys are telling me, is there anyway to find out EXACTLY how much AC went through my body?

[@BradyMcwilliam]

Scheefinator Well US standard is 110 volts luckily you only had one hand on the prongs so the current just went through your hand.If you still have your laptop you can look on the AC adapter and it should tell you how many amps. But they are usually 2-4 amps.

Hi Mehdi, I was wondering if these cc voltages and amps are lethal 5V at 2A (from an iPad charger) 3.5A at 35v (from a bench power supply at max settings)

[@ElectroBOOM]

+NeXTSTORMING non of them are dangerous unless you pierce your skin and shove them into your heart, in which case you will more likely die of bleeding

+ElectroBOOM your actually a great guy XD

[@kemerios1]

+gavinkap sorry but i had too.You're*

[@nextstorming3908]

***** my teacher has a 12v 10amp power supply that does AC and DC, i know the ac side is lethal but it the dc side lethal cause its about 120 watts dc which is A LOT more than what is screw around with ( i screw around with 12v at 1 amp dc)

[@ElectroBOOM]

NeXTSTORMING So, would you screw with 12V 500DC capable (6kW)? Because that's harmless.
