50V will happily pass through human flesh.. it's the path from A to B that's the risk...
A 9V square battery could kill you if the 2 pins touch your tickers valves.
Tasers run 25k-40k volts.. but they almost never kill you. Why ?

Paddy.
Have packed the shoes I found hiding beneath the dust, will post Tues or wed.

High volts - low amps.

I love being picked on, you should watch me walking down the street and purposely banging into people whose total attention is drawn to their phones.....loved the Andy photos.....how many bedrooms in the new digs Paddy, as I snore and masturbate and may piss off other cohorts, therefore I may need a sanctuary.

Douggie, they have a special room reserved for you ... it's the one with the crescent moon on the door.

Chuck, how did you know that is my special room when I visit family?

Will contact you about these when my mind clears on my day off. Running on NoDoze, painkillers, lack of sleep and truck loads of penned up anger from trying to do my job at the moment. White trash certainly comes out at night and is often your workmates

but lipos can deliver up to 500amps, that will kill you no matter where it hits you, if "you" can be described as a pile of ash.

not so.
Your dad's car battery wont kill you ( unless it falls on ya hed ).. but the sparkplug coils can..
12V 400CCA Vs 12,000V1mA

I don't understand, if you put 500Aconstant through someone, how will that not kill them (at 50+volts of course)

Hi
Voltage, or the potential difference between 2 electrical points, is simplistically described as the amount of energy available to produce a spark jump.
Higher voltage = bigger spark.
If you had 1000 AA size batteries all in a long line.. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- the end voltage of 1500V would kill you.
If you had them all in parallel.. so the total voltage was 1.5V .. it would possibly burn you, but not zap you.
It's the zap that kills, not the amps... 'amps' cook , 'volts' fry

I will remember this next time I am cooking my road kill

[Boaterguy]

i always thought amps were what would kill you

[Flying Scotsman]

Do not worry laddie, as there are many on this forum that know their stuff.......the DOC is one...unlike some other sites!

Edit

Also, look at some warning signs on electrical lines DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE.

Do you take a physics class at your school? I hope this helps as you seem to be a nice lad

[Boaterguy]

physics is grade 11, not there yet and I read through one of the textbooks, it is a joke at best.

most other people think it's amps too, not saying you're wrong but more letting myself be wronger (just like my grammar) in slow intervals.
