Well it's only 2 volts. So nothing will happen. Unless your hand is all sweaty maybe. Then maybe you'll feel it. I wouldn't worry.

- sokoloff 5y agoAgree. You can feel a 9V battery on your tongue, but not on the sweatiest of hands IME. (I still quick-check 9V batteries on my tongue.)
- tres 5y agouh... wut I believe it's the amps you need to worry about; "amps kill." I believe it takes about 1 amp to kill a person. This thing is outputting somewhere around 55 amps (if I remember right).
- Robotbeat 5y agoBut for a given resistance, you don’t get the amps if you don’t have enough voltage. V=I*R. Don’t they teach that equation any more?
- CapstanRoller 5y agoCurrent availability is not a guarantee of current delivery. I (current) = V (voltage)/R (resistance) Typical skin resistance can be as high as 100MΩ (mega ohms) but is often cited as 10MΩ. Even if we assume just 1MΩ (1000000 ohms) skin resistance, then at 2.3V as shown in the video the current would be 0.0000023 A or 2.3 μA (micro amperes).
- tres 5y agoTIL. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
- 101_101 5y agoThat's only half true. amp is a nano bitch without volt, and vice versa.
