Besides shooting an existent human or a pig carcass , the best way to determine the efficacy of a rocket — like a slug — is with ballistic gel , which has almost identical compactness and viscosity to human muscularity tissue . But how does it fare against sinful voltages ? grant to this experiment caught on video , the forgetful answer is : not well .
Andy fromPhotonicinductionclaims to have “ 25 year [ of ] electric experience , ” and have a bit of very big , very loud great power supplies which he has used to electrocute affair on the internet for the last eight age . In this experiment , he starts applying low potential drop to a hunk of ballistic colloidal gel and turn his way up . At around 250 volts the metal probes cut through the gel like butter . At 2,500 volts the gel boils directly . At 100,000 volt the gel is surrounded by Emperor Palpatine - dash Force lightning .
Sure , the deadliness of electricity is determined not just by volt but by amperes and Georg Simon Ohm , and it’sdebatablewhether ballistics gel has the same conductive properties as masses , but this is still a exculpated reminder that electricity is Not To Be Fucked With Lightly . Some might call Andy ’s experiments “ a hazard ” or “ profoundly insecure . ” He has n’t blown the ceiling off his theater or fried himself yet , so he ’s obviously doing something right . But please do n’t do what he ’s doing t home plate .
