I think it's the current that can really kill you not so much the volts.
Static electricity can be hundreds of thousands of volts... But there isn't
much current there. Take 4 or 5 amps at almost any voltage

Or, is it the fact that 150-170V DC isn’t as dangerous as everyone makes it

Be safe, but not paranoid.

Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for the insight. It is good to know that I probably won’t die from my
own stupidity. That being said I will definitely be more careful. I haven’t
shocked myself yet today, so that’s an okay start.

I designed my Nixie watches with very small capacitors in the voltage
tripler, to minimize the danger. Nixie tubes don't mind having many volts
of ripple in the power.

I was taught that anything over about 40 volts either AC or DC should be avoided. Saying that I have been zapped by the 340 volts of a camera flash capacitor strong enough to make me jump but watched in fascination as I drew a spark from cold cathode power supply to my finger tip which
Here is a link I found :

The fatal current range is 100-200mA . How they determined this is probably
an ethical question.
As you said, having series resistance is what can save you, unless you
touch the other side, such as

The following is not in any way advice;
This is what I have heard; The heart can be stopped by a few mA at 9V. Applying
that to the skin will not get it to the heart because the skin is a good
insulator. You need enough voltage to break down that resistance, or there
needs to be a physical
I’m very reckless when it comes to my Nixie projects. I’ve shocked myself with
150 - 170V DC more times than I care to admit, and every time I’ve done it, the
shock isn’t that bad. However, every time I’ve done it, my hands have been dry,
and there’s been a series resistor somewhere in the
19 matches
