Why only 6V?

[Guest guest]

With " AA " NiMH 1.2V 2500Ma batteries, you can have a smaller power source that

will last longer than a 6V dry cell and is rechargeable.

You can also increase the voltage by 1.2V increments.

The voltage is the " pressure " that pushes the current, what is accually killing

the germs, through the body. The higher the voltage the deeper the current flows

the more germs exposed to the current.

Right?

Is there a problem using 12, 15 or 24 volts?

Has anyone tried it?

I have read that the average resistance of skin (dry) in about

100 Kohms.

If it is sweaty then it is about 1 Kohms.

If it is cut, scraped etc then it is about 500 ohms.

The International Electrotechnical Commission gives the following values for the

total body impedance of a hand to hand circuit for dry skin, large contact

areas, 50 Hz AC currents (the columns contain the distribution of the impedance

in the population percentile; for example at 100 V 50% of the population had an

impedance of 1875 & #937; or less)

Voltage 5% 50% 95%

25 V 1,750 & #937; 3,250 & #937; 6,100 & #937;

100 V 1,200 & #937; 1,875 & #937; 3,200 & #937;

220 V 1,000 & #937; 1,350 & #937; 2,125 & #937;

1000 V 700 & #937; 1,050 & #937; 1,500 & #937;

Ohm's law I = E/R would tell you how much current is getting through.
