Hi, Marshall! Thank you very much for your thought-provoking example. Stungun manufacturers and vendors are using a unit of "pulse-watts" to describe the output of the devices. I haven't seen a concise definition of a pulse-watt. Do you happen to know what this unit means? Best regards, Matthew

Check into the art of "cupping" Basically, it's the formation of a vaccuum by reducing the volume of hot air in a cup or bottle when it cools. One way is to place a piece of toilet paper soaked in alchohol in a tall shot glass, light it and snuff it out against the skin. Another way is to heat

Rice University's electrical engineering laboratory has a good on-line report on amounts of hazardous electricity. (see website for lab course ELEC 241.)

Do you have any documentation on this. The UL and government standard is 10 mA for leakage current which is far more than a few microamps. Blood electrification and zappers both operate at around this current. And the blood electrification fall in the range of the most sensitive frequency for this
