    Deuce battery question

    Never got electrical burns til I contacted 750VDC. My wife heard the commotion (I broke a vacuum tube), asked if I was OK, and could apparently tell I was lying by the tone of my voice. I never built a circuit again without bleeder resistors on the caps (now at 1kV).

    Deuce battery question

    My body has a resistance of ~8MΩ (left hand to right hand; across the chest). You would need a resistance of 14kΩ to get 1mA at 14V. Unless you impale yourself on your battery, I just don't see it happening.

    Deuce battery question

    Can you provide any examples? With wet hands/ body, I can just begin to feel a tingle (this would be 1mA). This is a long way from electrocution.
