Obviously #2 is going to be more damaging, as it's both higher voltage and higher amperage. But in regards to lethality, the voltage isn't nearly as important as the amperage.

It's unlikely that electrons would even go through the guy's urine anyways. Once the circuit is shorted, the electrons are going to move along the path of least resistance in the most efficient way possible. Making such a huge trip is neither efficient or the path of least resistance. Urinating on an electric fence is a different story...

but the current had to go throug, otherwise he wouldn't felt anything. if he was in the bad luck, that the urine didn't conduct between phase and neutral/earth, then he got the whole shock throug its urine, since it would be the only way to go.


but anyway. all i want to explain is, that without voltage there is no amperage. therefore the voltage (as well the resistor) is the only and one relevant factor (beside of the max. outputpower of the main supply, which will limit the current anyway somewhere in the higher ampere range).

Watt are you folks talking about? Seriously, watts up?

Okay...that was just bad...I'm talking Keranu-style cheese. :dance:

And what also strikes me as odd is the fact that they DIDN'T GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO RIP THE COVER OFF THE PS2. They left it on and (if the story would have happened as reported) a little urine dribbled down into the AC.

This most likel would not have shocked him.


God, I'm trying to DISPROVE A FOX NEWS STORY... ¬_¬  ](*,) I swear, Im just going to filter my internet to block anything that pantheon of idiots decides to pass off as news.

Excellent job, Steve!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

My apologies to nod, I should know better, but I couldn't resist. Sad, really. :)

Must've been a first edition model... :|

Sorry, but I don't see your library card on the books of Ys.  Now, RETURN THEM TO ME!!!
