Anyone who takes a device that is designed for a very high amperage, very low voltage, direct current environment, and attempts to use that device in a very low amperage, very high voltage, alternating current environment, is a fool. That's what I said. Maybe you should try reading my post.

Edison liked DC rather than AC. General Electric at one time back around 1920 or 1930 was pushing the use of DC for appliances while Westinghouse was pushing the use of AC. General Electric in some of their advertising stressed that DC was safer than AC, quoting the fact that AC is so deadly and dangerous that it is used in the electric chair to execute criminals -- just a little bit of trivia from history.
