ery, very unlikely! Stories abound!! If you implant an electrode or two in just the right places around the heart or brain, yes, but that certainly would not be an accident. Call mythbusters....it will be "Busted".(quoted from post at 20:03:13 08/15/17) I had a friend tell me her father accidentally electrocuted a dog with a single 12 volt car battery, she did not say how. With my experience with car battery's I would say that is not possible. The question is, is it possible to electrocute say a medium sized dog with 12 volts?
(quoted from post at 20:22:45 08/15/17) Stick with 'liar' & just call it BS & move on....or agree with her and get a little.
tandard POTS across the country is 48VDC (about 1K Ohm source impedance) and people touch the phone lines all the time without incident for the last 100 years. Ringing is about 90VAC, and shocks, but not lethal.(quoted from post at 16:18:34 08/16/17) I have heard of a person getting a lethal jolt supposedly from a 12V battery. The incident happened years ago at a house just up the road from us. I do not know the particulars though other than he was trying to start the car. My guess would be it wasn't the battery that got him at all..........could be wrong. Some people seem to be more conductive than others. I once worked with a guy who bared the wires coming off an extension cord and could hold the hot in one hand and neutral in the other and claims he could not feel it. I know I would!
I work for the phone company, our power plant is 48VDC. I can grab the positive with one hand and neg with the other and not feel a thing. The power plant in my office runs at 440amps so there's lots of potential there. When I used to do outside work the only time I'd get a tingle is when it was raining out and my hands/gloves were soaked. But far as I know it's never killed anyone.

BSOLUTELY! Just like on CNN & MSNBC & the WP & NYT! :evil:(quoted from post at 20:05:51 08/16/17) If it's in the movies it's real...... right?

The trouble with that theory is that electrical POTENTIAL is measured in Volts, NOT Amps.
urns are not dead!(quoted from post at 21:36:35 08/18/17)
Same friend's dad [ garage and dog ] hit the positive terminal with the band of his wrist watch , it welded on quick smart and caused massive burns.
On reflection that garage was a mecca of unusual goings on , wish I could revisit the past
oint? The post here had to do with the electrocution of a dog, not the burning of a man's wrist. "I had a friend tell me her father accidentally electrocuted a dog with a single 12 volt car battery, she did not say how. With my experience with car battery's I would say that is not possible. The question is, is it possible to electrocute say a medium sized dog with 12 volts?"" Note that he didn't ask if it were possible to run battery current through a watch band & burn a man's wrist. Don't feel bad, yours wasn't the only non-responsive reply.(quoted from post at 05:25:23 08/19/17)
I can't really see your point Jmor .
No suggestion that a simple short could kill you was made . My comment was concerning a simple reminiscence prompted by Goose's post , nothing more . Besides the circuit was restricted to the wrist , one side to another via a stainless steel watch band with little resistance . No DC current crossed his body and consequently his heart .
Yes the burns were severe , I can still smell the burning flesh .
Frankly I find your comment and the use of an exclamation mark an over reaction .
