I mean what exactly does a higher voltage do different??
2007-03-05 19:03:09 · update #1
I nkow its obvious that they ARE more potent, but what affect does it have on people?
2007-03-05 19:11:52 · update #2
does it stun them longer or knock them down or something?

oh, and jeeper_peeper321, I've been hit a cpl times with a high-power electric fence and it DOES stun you man.....really, really good.

I'm a police officer and carry Tazer. The highest Tazer voltage out there that we use is 50,000 volts which isn't available to the public. But I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure 950,000 volts will kill a person.
But anyway, a higher voltage like you said is more potent. A higher voltage is:
Several times more painful (Trust me, I was shot by the Tazer as part of the training process. They don't just tickle, it will be the worst type of pain you can EVER feel)
It will make them knock them to ground very quickly, they will be doing the 'funky chicken' on the ground while being tazed
The person being tazed will be down longer, will take them a bit longer to get up
It also tenses up the person more (Tenses up the muscles), with some lower voltages people can fight their way through them. Because the muscle tension caused wasn't very strong and don't stop them from moving.
Higher voltage immoblizies the person quickly and efficiently.
Hope this answers your question.

There is NO such thing as a 190,000 volt stun gun.
The ad is lying.
The best stun gun on the market NOVA Police Spirit, is 50,000 volts.
In the United states right now, there are just TWO, only two stun guns that actualy work.
All the others do not produce enough energy in joules to be anything other than a pain maker, they will not affect muscle contractions.
10 years as a Law Enforcement Trainer for Nova Techologies, the company that invented stun guns.
A electric fense does not work like a stun gun, first the current level is alot higher. second, an electric fense is more like your house current, they just step the voltage and current down, but its still ac current.
What makes stun guns and tasers work, is the frequency of their pulses, they match the bodies natural nerve pulse frequency of 17 to 21 pulses per second.

higher voltage of course is more potent

WHY IS A .50 CAL HANDGUN MORE POWERFUL THAN A .22 CAL ?
