It's certainly enough to cause electrolysis. Some of those bubbles aren't water vapour, they're hydrogen and oxygen. Oh, and if you put it in chlorinated (or just salty) water, this thing will cause chlorine gas to come out.

I did wonder if it was causing electrolysis to occur. Was waiting to see if he'd try and gather some hydrogen to make a wee explosion.

I randomly picked it up in the late 90s after I'd already played C&C (and warcraft 2), but apparently it made a bit of an impression.

froward posted:real world examples: Sorry, kinda' late on this. Ampacity or the flow of current is what can kill someone (electrocution). This can kill in a couple of different ways:
Also people don't react the exact same way to the same amount or duration of electricity. Age and overall health can contribute to survivability. There have been people sent to the electric chair who (gruesomely) survived repeated applications of around 2kV, or ended up having their heart restart and gasp after they were declared dead. So they were strapped back in the chair and shocked a few more times until they were deceased. Boat posted:Nah, water has high enough resistance that the current draw isn't too much. The resistance is why it heats up as a matter of fact. You could also have an element with impedance in series with the circuit to limit the flow of current as well. Other thing about that video - the plug is made for 120V. He's connecting it to 240V. It's going to draw four times as much power on the 240V circuit. I've worked around live 790V and even 4160V equipment and him grabbing the spoon still made me cringe.

The cheap Chinese to anything plugs just allow mismatching hot/neutral pins to interact, with ground being left out. Sometimes they also allow hot/neutral/ground/you to interact in new and exciting ways. jetz0r fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jan 10, 2016 |

Computer viking posted:I thought the Chinese/UK converter he used was a small 110/230V transformer? I don't know if you can fit a several-hundred volt-amp transformer into a package that small. No, I would be extremely surprised if there's a transformer in the outlet converter. He might have a 240/120 transformer, autotransformer (single-winding transformer, less safe) or rheostat somewhere out of frame that drops it down to 120V. (Devices with modern switching power supplies can easily handle voltage inputs generally from 100Vac to 250Vac at 60 or 50Hz.)

Right, true - putting 1kW through a transformer small enough to fit in a converter socket seems a bit unlikely.
