DC=Direct current.
AC=Alternating current.Wich do you think in most harmful? ::).Do some research.

dc's known as the death current. how is ac more harmfull?

I met alot of old Navy electricians back in San Diego.Most of them were missing an appendage or had gory stories about somebody they knew exploding while getting hit with DC on a ship. :-X :-X.AC will throw you back.DC will hold you untill you are no more.

Caveman says the same thing. I think he was bit by 177VAC lighting system and fell 20 feet onto some sand bags and was okay, continued to work with 240-480 for a couple years, but the latest job he deals with 24VDC control for ultra-modern HVAC (they have a guy come in with a laptop and tune the airflows and allowable temp adjustments and stuffs, just like some tuenarboi scum you know tune cars) and he says hes never going back.


PS it does take voltage hand in hand with a more or less resistive path to create current. All this "its amps not volts" stuff is utter bullshit; it is all interconnected and inseperable just like you have to have cock AND balls to be a man. Volts is the pressure in the garden hose, current is the hose diameter, and its the wierdest garden hose ever because depending on resistance pressure and diameter are all over the place like a Salvador Dali painting - one that you can place over a piece of graph paper, or plug into a formula.

This isn't Honda Tech........

I guess your saying lightning (DC) is harmless?

ac's more harmfull because you have to touch both +/- sides insted of just being neer something power can ground on :1

really?????

go grab a white or black (only one) and touch "earth" like a water pipe, tell me whats happens :)
