How to use a battery to kill effectively ?

Aug 06, 2005 25 Replies

Back in the Stone Ages (~1967) I was working with image-intensifying vacuum tubes and one setup had a 30KV Spellman bench supply, maybe a milliampere or so. I took a few shocks from that, including one from the eyepiece of the microscope I was using to examine the image right to my eyebrow -- knocked me across the room, but I'm still here to tell about it. The amount of current needed to kill varies widely with the path the current takes thru the body. Naturally it takes less if it enters near the heart than if it's in the legs. I'm sure there's plenty of information on shock hazard limits on the web.

With my kid's dirty sweatsocks you won't even be needing the battery...

Explain pleasy...

The sweet (=acid?) in the sock helps to transfer the current from the battery onto the guard ? is that it ? ;)

Sounds great. I have many stinky socks hahahahahahaha I love this idea hahahahahahahaha it's so diiirrty :D hehe.

You need to blind the victim, throw sodium choride in his eyes then drop the battery on him. That would be a real case of a salt and battery! Pat

Just chain the victim to the counter at an all you can eat restraint and yell "Free food!" to a bus full of people who just got back from a month at fat camp. They won't have enough left to do an autopsy after the hungry mob is done trampling him.
