(If I hold on tighter, increasing surface area, I get slightly more current through me). (Also, however: I can only feel the pain from the negative wire, not the positive)īeing very curious, I hooked myself up to an analog ammeter and did measure at least 1 milliamp of current.Īt least 1 milliamp, time after time, again and again. (It sounds very stupid, but what else can I do? I can't try to electrocute my pet, because I wont know what it feels) The positive wire is connected to my index finger holding the wire and the negative wire to my arm, and i felt the same pain time after time. I tried again and again: This time with my arm. So, since the shock was not quite painful, and I am curious and want to find out why I am the only one I know of who gets electrocuted by just 24 volts. I talked to chat rooms and they could all hardly believe me. I googled on the Internet about getting electrocuted by 24 volts, it said it was near impossible. "Really?" I said, I checked the voltage on the batteries connected in series and it was just 24 volts.Ģ4 volts and I got a shock. (The wire connected to + is on my hand, the wire connected to - is on my knee). then, I felt like someone pinched on me on the skin with their nails, or an ant biting me, or getting stung by a wasp. Then, I was working with the wires and both of them touched me at the same time (I let both wires touch me because I thought that I would start getting a shock at 40-60 volts (well, that was what many sources online said), however.). I've connected 2 car batteries (12 volts each) in series to get 24 volts potential difference (NOT from a power supply)
