    who really cares about the moron talking like he knows something....the funny thing is actually watching the video fake or not...its fun to see unexspecting reactions....now go blow a goat.

     Amps kill not volts. Stun guns can range from 20k to 150k in voltage. This video is fake for the simple reason if anyone has even been zapped by a standard outlet then you know its more of a burning sensation then a shock you uncontrollably. Also ive never seen that bright of a spark form a power outlet zap. Unless there was a transformer this is total bullshit.

      @richiestangYou've clearly never been plugged into the wall. And yes, I have.

      @richiestangYou are an idiot. You've never seen that bright of a spark because the transfer of electricity is happening inside the outlet.

     that's a load of bullshit. standard residential electrical outlets are 120 volts. who's the moron checking the facts break?

  • Ski_Bird

    Ski_Bird - 3 years ago

    Several people below on are on the right track. I would guess from what I saw that it's hooked straight up to 110V. If it's really 35KV, then my guess is that he's using a television CRT accelerator circuit. Again, the amount of current it can supply won't kill you, but it'll sure piss you off!

  • Versarious

     There is no way a wall receptical is going to be carrying 35kvolts. Fake title but funny either way until your friend ends up dead.

    We have 240V outlets in Australia, but even that can be dangerous. I wouldn't have done that to my friend. It is possible to increase the voltage of the electricity coming out by using capacitors etc. But I think 35,000V is pretty unlikely.

    • Skyggefaxe

      @TheOriginalBonagreeeeeee... 35.000 volts and he'd be a pile of ash on the floor

    • Xissor

      Xissor - 3 years ago

      @TheOriginalBonNo necessarily. If he used a transformer to amplify it to 35k it would wtill never give away more than the fuse could handle. If 10A at 240V it would be 68mA at 35k V and only grandpa would die of that amount of currency

    • Fartgasss

      Fartgasss - 3 years ago

      @TheOriginalBonIt's the Amps that kill u, not the Volts. But still 35kV is a bit too much for å doorhandle?

    Ok I took a second look at the video because all you guys are sure you know whats going on here. It is 120v and they hooked the common to one side of the knob and ran the hot threw the door and left it hanging. So when the guy grabbed the door knob he would have made a connection with the hot to the common causing it short and yes make arch and give him a shock. As far as amps go if there was nothing turned on on that circuit then there are no amps and the breaker trips due to a short. Lol I work with this

    • UrStupid123

      UrStupid123 - 3 years ago

      @yzfr103When you say common are you talking about a neutral wire? Remember that extension cord is a 3 wire conduit, 1 hot, 1 neutral, and 1 grounding wire. He has the ground and the neutral on one side of the knob, and the hot going through like you said. In residence you cant have voltage without current its either on or off.

    • Versarious

      Versarious - 3 years ago

      @yzfr103Yeah but your forgetting, I=E/R So amps equals the voltage divided by the resistance, if there is no resistance the amps max out man. Inverse relationship. It doesnt matter as to what is running on that circuit for there to be a flow. The reason he didnt get destroyed is because the path was from his palm to fingers. If he was standing on a metal grounded plate with bare feet or possibly socks, then there would be a potential that the path would be in the hand out the feet passing the heart and the body ma

    • Ski_Bird

      Ski_Bird - 3 years ago

      @yzfr103Versarious, you're forgetting about conservation of energy. If there is no resistance, which there never is unless it's a super conductor, then you're right except for ONE IMPORTANT POINT. There won't be infinite current since that would mean infinite energy. You'll only get the maximum amount of current out of a source, not INFINITE.

     oh dear lord. this video is fake on so many levels. First, the electricity from that style outlet is 120 volts. 35,000 is more like a stun gun. the wiring is all wrong as well. see urstupid's comment below. all in all, a horrible video. i'm gonna go throw up now.

    Garbage is right. The third prong is for grounding the equipment to protect it. Although if the plug wasn't grounded properly, the guy would have acted as the next closest thing to 'ground' and would have gone right through him. Let's say his friend saw the wire and was like "wtf".. touched the wire and then with his other hand grabbed the doorknob to open it, the electricity would have passed directly through his heart, probably killing him.

    • steamedrice

      steamedrice - 3 years ago

      @UrStupid123no, you're wrong. although 120 volts is enough to kill person, it probably won't. i've seen my people been shocked by accident while plugging something in, didn't kill them it just hurt like a b*tch.

    • steamedrice

      steamedrice - 3 years ago

      @UrStupid123yes i said my people

    • UrStupid123

      UrStupid123 - 3 years ago

      @UrStupid123You don't know that since you don't know how many amps are going through it. Has nothing to do with the voltage..

    • steamedrice

      steamedrice - 3 years ago

      @UrStupid123true but the amps are constant across the states

    • UrStupid123

      UrStupid123 - 3 years ago

      @UrStupid123Yes but amps arent only determined by how much power comes through the circuit. The size of wire and type of insulation used makes a difference. And so does what you eat or drink, or if you sweat. All those things change amperage.

    If the cable plugged into the wall is actually powering the CRT monitor (sitting right next to the outlet), then the voltage could easily be 35,000 Volts as in DC not AC. The flyback transformers on most modern CRT monitors is in the neighborhood of 35k VDC. The cable to the door would have to be connected to the output of the flyback transformer for this to be true. It hurts, but won't likely kill you. Look it up. There are several videos on youtube.

    • NewDownTown

      NewDownTown - 3 years ago

      @adrock2415Bravo, sir. I looked it up and this all wouldn't have happened if the monitor had a bleeder resistor integrated to drain the capacitance.

    • adrock2415

      adrock2415 - 3 years ago

      @adrock2415The bleeder resistor would have only discharged the capacitance when power was removed from the flyback transformer. Even with a bleeder resistor installed, if power is applied to the flyback transformer, you're gonna feel the full voltage. I've heard stories of guys mishandling disconnected crt yokes (without bleeder resistors) and get knocked on their asses hours after unplugging. That would be shocking.

     ok #1 it's 120 volts, I guess I missed the lightning rod supplying the other 34k volts. #2 if his other arm was to touch another piece of metal, it would have completed a circuit right through his heart could have died. I hope it was worth the $400.
