[Chief Wiggam impersonation] Where's your Messiah now?[/Chief Wiggam impersonation]

Yes, it can. Currents as low as 500mA can be fatal, so the voltage is far less of a concern. 48Vdc across a low enough resistance, say a watery bag of meat, can easily produce enough current to kill you.ilumos wrote:Exactlysilent bob wrote:how the fuck? Phantom powerd mic or something?
And even 48V wont kill...

Must have been sucking some Amps :icon14:

Power = voltage * currentBdw3 wrote:10,000+V won't kill...ilumos wrote:Exactlysilent bob wrote:how the fuck? Phantom powerd mic or something?

The only thing correct in this post is the equation. It is the CURRENT that kills you, because it induces fibrillations.ToxicBug wrote:Power = voltage * currentBdw3 wrote:10,000+V won't kill...ilumos wrote: Exactly

BUT a weak power source might kill a person if it interferes with the heart's natural signal.
It can either cause fibrillation if its not very strong, or it can tear you appart if its insanely strong (like a lightning or a huge power source).Nightshade wrote:The only thing correct in this post is the equation.

With our powers combined...... we are... CAPTAIN REDUNDANCY!

Oh jesus. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? You said it was power that killed, I refuted your statement. It's current.ToxicBug wrote:It can either cause fibrillation if its not very strong, or it can tear you appart if its insanely strong (like a lightning or a huge power source).Nightshade wrote:The only thing correct in this post is the equation.
