Attached wires to Human Genitals

Here's a pic of John Kerry enjoying having the busines end of a 9 volt battery stuck to his testes.

The new standard for automotive electrical systems will be 42V. It can cause an arcing fault that will burn through metal, and is sufficient voltage, at the amperage required for automotive applications, to kill.

Well then Kerry ADMITS he is guilty of a war crime. Read www.judicialwatch.org the requested DOD to check a few things, including possible Kerry war crimes

Lots of amps in a car battery, but only painful if the voltage is jacked up.

Think of the sparks made by connecting battery cables when jump-starting a car and then imagine one battery cable attached to one's toe and the other one approaching one's penis and tell me what's not going to be painful.

I had a similar treatment in OCS (not on the genitals thank God), believe it a 12V DC battery can knock you out. Come to think of it thjey treated us a lot worse the Iraqi POW's.

Lots of amps in a car battery, but only painful if the voltage is jacked up. Huh?

Go out to your car, grab both terminals on the battery.

Nothing will happen.

(assuming it's not a 48 volt hybrid) Start the car, grab a plug wire, pull the boot off a spark plug. Most cars hit the plugs with at least 25000 volts. You're going to get nailed. Hurts a bit.

Darn. I thought this was a story about attaching wires to John "the Human Genital" Kerry.

But seriously, you can attach a megger to phone wire and give someone a pretty good jolt. (We used to pull gags like getting some nub to hold the ends of the shore phone line and going below and running a megger against it when I was in the Navy).

It is the ring voltage that bites you, 90VAC. Ever touch phone wires while the phone is ringing? Ouch!

The phone operates on 24-48 VDC talk battery. That will not hurt you.

"Calling fish" is called "monkeying" by people that equate cranking the old generators to an organ grinder and his monkey.

The more modern method uses a re-rigged heart pacemaker and 12 volt battery.

The very small pacemaker rigs are easy to hide and there are plenty of reasons to have batteries.Poachers don't even have to crank the new monkey rigs.

This "story" was a common tale told in the Delta as is most of the BS that this dumbass is spewing.

These stories were part of the drunken bragging that would take place every once in a while to build up your "bravado" and display what a badass eveyone was. They always referenced someone doing something that could not be verified and everyone knew it was all BS.

[Malsua]

The device that Kerry is talking about is a unit we called a "Grinder". This equipment is used to test the insulation of the electrical wiring of the boats.

I'm not questioning that equipment was around to deliver painful levels of voltage. I was asking about phones being able to deliver such a jolt. The consensus is still not clear to me. If John effin Kerry meant, he saw people shocked by equipment, well, he's guilty of war crimes. If he meant he saw people shocked by phone equipment is it possible? Either case, he's guilty.

Telephones can put out a substantial shock with the "pulses" from a dialer. I have experienced that feeling, and would certainly not want it on my genitals...

Phone line voltage is -48VDC. Ring voltage is ~90VDC.

The key word is genitals Which have more nerve endings than anywhere else on the body (hence the presence of sexual pleasure). I still think it never happened though.

I recall repairing one once. Our unit was considered "mobil" but it was really quite fixed. As a result, our phone lines were fixed cables. But we had some field telephone units with the hand crank ringers for possible emergencies if the fixed facilities ever got knocked out.

I, too, recall that the voltage generated by the hand crank was around 90 VAC which would activate the ringer on the remote unit. That voltage is nearly what is available in your home wiring. It can be quite painful.

"Sufficient amperage at any voltage will kill you. And it doesn't take much. 80 milliamps is enough for cardiac failure."

You guys don't know squat about voltage, current and resistance. You don't even have enough background in the subject for it to be explained to you... You sound like my wife.

Have you ever noticed that their is not an electrical shock warning on a 12V car battery? Wonder why that is? Maybe it's because 12V is not a shock hazard... your body resistance is high enough that almost no current flows. Everyone who's ever jump started a car knows that if you touch both terminals (even in the rain) nothing happens.

Just don't short it across a piece of Jewry. You still won't get shocked, but you could get a nasty burn. That's because metal has a low resistance and skin has a high resistance. The current that will flow is inversely proportional to the resistance.
