As a early teenager I watched a friend pee on an electric fence

Mythbusters tried that. No shock.


Mythbusters is often wrong. My second cousin ****ed on a fence and the
electric fence part was just above it. He got the shock of his life, he
said his balls hurt for days afterwards and he couldn't **** right for a
while. That was 25 years ago. He is now married with kids, so it did no
permanent damage.

Hello,

I saw somebody mention on a webforum that volt and empere feels
differently... I am not sure if he joking/making it up... or if it's really
possible to feel a difference between ampere and volts ?!?

You can barely feel a volt, even directly on your tongue. You can sure
feel an amp.

An amp through your body will kill you, it will also cause muscle damage and
possibly burning.

So far I have had two experiences with electricity which come to mind:

1. Touching the inner metal tracks of a lego-locomotive that used 12
volts probably... this felt like a current running
through my arms.

2. Static electricity (?) discharge in supermarkt... (plastic summer
shoes rubbing against floor hallway in flat) huge short pain going
through arm... pretty much same thing but much more violent and
doesn't shake or vibrate but feels more like a bang in the arm.

So what do you guys think is there a different feel to volts vs ampere ?

Aren't you being a little unfair there? That URL will lead SkyDuck to
multisyllable words and abstract concepts.
