ORIGINAL: saradeanna469 >=] I have a 15000 volt neon sign transformer if anyone wants to buy it from me. I'm sure that would give a nice little jolt to someone. p.s. the above is a joke, please don't actually do that As a professional I must say that a neon sign transformer will kill you and that is no joke. The transformer delivers plenty of current that will cause burns and death. Yes, thank you for reiterating my "p.s. it's a joke" point. I can't stress enough how dangerous playing with electricity is. 200 miliamps is apparently enough to stop the heart, that's what I was taught back in computer electronics class... 10 years ago. Also, I am not too familiar with the frequency ratings of stun guns and cattle prods, but the higher the frequency (Hz), the more the electricity will pass over your skin rather than through muscles (heart) and other internal tissue. That might be something to compare between human stun guns and cattle prods beore you make a purchase Maybe the best route to take would be to mount a regular, human, stungun on a long stick and paint it red rather than buying a real cattle prod. I tend to agree with Sula's post that real cattle prods might be too much for humans.
