Hi DIY electric chair manufacturers,

How bouts lots of PP3 nicads in series? (I still think the electrical resistance
of an average human will have negligible effect on a chain of even ZiC PP3
batteries, let alone Alkaline ones).

They should be able to give quite a jolt, yeah?
I was thinking AC voltage shocks sorta hold you to the connection,
whilst DC shocks give you one helluva jolt away from it thus breaking the link.

Cheers,
