What is the max voltage a body can stand before it turns to liquid poop?

Answer 1

II wonder what is that substance called ‘liquid poop’ :)

1. Whatever you do please do not experiment at home, it can be fatal, and even illegal in certain states, unless you are a professional.

2. We can withstand a significant amount of electrical potential say 10,000 to 50, 000 volts. This is a usual electrostatic discharge and I never heard of any one turning into ‘liquid poop’, as you eloquently put it, after being subjected to its discharge. The reason it never seriously hurt no one is due to a LOW CURRENT (see 5)

3. The famous old battle between Westinghouse and Edison has demonstrated the ‘safety’ of 120Volts of direct current (DC) in comparison to the same 120 V alternating current (AC). See the history of an electric chair fro for information.
4.In the past, when the misfortunate victims of high voltage AC came into contact with live wires, who had their flesh literally cook when the current went past their body. Some were fortunate enough to survive and tell the tale.

5. A little theory to clarify the phenomena
V - Voltage is the amount of energy per electric charge
I - Current or flow of charge
P - Power dissipated and is equal to V x I
Oh yes, I forgot resistance R = V/I So if the body has a higher resistance it will let less current though and less current means less damage since less power will be dissipated or P=V^2/R

6.If are adventurous enough you may subject a hot dog to a 120v electrocution by placing it on a dinner plate and two forks stuck at each end and serving as electrodes. Stay clear a few feet when you turn the ‘juice’ on. You will learn that the hot dog will not turn into 'liquid poop', but will heat up very fast.

Just a note. It is not the water in the hot dog that conducts electricity, but it the salts dissolved in the water. Water by it self is an INSULATOR and poorly conducts electricity.
Have fun, but do not hurt anyone including you.

Answer 2

The body would start to sizzle and smell good, rather than turning to liquid.

Here's an experiment for you. (If you are under 18, do this with an adult.) Take a lamp cord with an electrical plug on one end. Don't plug it in, yet! Strip back a couple of inches of insulation from the wires on the other end. (be careful not to nick or break the wires.)Take two plain steel ten-penny nails (get them at a hardward store.) Take a piece of board, pine or something.

Mark two points on the board, about five inches apart. Hammer the nails almost all the way through the board, one through each point you marked, so that the points are sticking out and the heads are not quite flush to the wood. Wrap the stripped ends of the copper wires around the nails, under the heads, one to each nail. Now take the hammer and finish hammering in the nails so that the heads hold the wires firmly.

You should now have a board with two nails through it and there should be one wire going to each nail, and the plug on the other end of the cord.

Take an ordinary hot dog and impale it in the nails Stick it on so that the points pierce the casing. Now, set it on your kitchen countertop and plug the plug into the wall outlet. You can watch the hot dog cook.

What happens is the electricity flows out of the outlet, through the wire, through the nail, through the hot dog, and back out the other nail, out the other wire, back into the outlet. The hot dog has electrical resistance, which is what limits the current flowing through it so that you don't blow a fuse or pop a breaker. The resistance causes some of the electricity to be converted into heat. (You've noticed that anything electrical get warm or hot as it runs for a while. Some, like heaters and curling irons and soldering irons, are supposed to get hot.)

In a few minutes, the hot dog will be cooked-- from the inside out. You can tell when it is done by watching and smelling just like you were cooking on a charcoal grill. It didn't turn to liquid, did it?

Unplug the cooker before you do anything else. Then remove the hot dog from the nails. You might need a fork to do that; it might stick a little. Put it on a bun and enjoy it with your favorite toppings.

If you want to re-use the cooker in the future, clean off the nails so the juces do not sit and grow bacteria. And if you want to make another one someday, they are cheap and easy to make., Who needs an expensive microwave oven...?

Answer 3

Ohm's law: Current = Voltage/ Resistance

It's the current that kills a person, not the voltage. The current depends on the resistance of the person.

Most equipment are labeled with voltage warnings and not current warnings because voltages are usually constant. Current is dependent of the voltage.

Answer 4

The true answer depends on the sexual attraction to the alternate body creating the voltage.

In short, the higher the attraction level the less voltage needed for liquefaction. As a corollary, the higher the attraction level the faster the speed of liquefaction as well.

Answer 5

Solid poop requires 25,000 V.
Liquid poop takes a much higher voltage. 150,000V

Answer 6

It's the electrical current that would probably kill you first. Only 100 mA through the heart can cause a heart attack. That is not much current.

Answer 7

its not the voltage, its the amps. 7/10ths of an amp can kill a person.

Answer 8

it's the voltage across the heart that will do you in. i think it's like 30mA, but mythbusters did a special on it...

Answer 9

ask yourself !! we wont turn into loop we will be like statues

Answer 10

hehe...

i think "we" will just burn and not turn in liquids
