-
- I may be missing the point somewhat but I believe this thread is about whether
- current or voltage is the danger. A better rule for those who have never
- worked with electricity is that they BOTH are dangerous.
-
- The local aluminium smelter uses electrolysis to melt aluminium ore in
- 4000 litre pots. How much voltage do you think this would require?
- They use 3.5 Volts.
-
- Don't ever tell someone who has never worked with electricity to "pay
- no attention to current arguments" - tell them to watch EVERYTHING!

- Regards.
