Does a cattle prod hurt?

I think Big Clive should demonstrate :-)

Gary Bleads

"Fun". When I was a teenager, we had a run of electric fence in place, with the driver mounted low on my bedroom wall - back room of the house, so. The posts weren't covered, and I carelessly shorted them across my calf muscle once. (OK, if I'm honest, I was less careless than curious...) It took a few minutes for that leg to want to work again, and it hurt so much I couldn't even swear about it.

Yeah that sounds like it. My brother gave one of his to a physics teacher who used it to wake up a kid that slept every day in class. I've always wondered what the difference was between the inignition coil and just a standard battery.

Clive, I've got an electric fence actuator I'd be happy to send you if you really want to have fun.

Gary Bleads

You mean ignition coils? There's also the hand-cranked generators they used to use to power telephone lines (or at least, to generate a ring voltage; I guess the talk voltage came from dry cells). Those can give you a good tickle as well.

pissed up Big Clive is best Big Clive. Oh and with dangerous electrics, of course. :D

PeetieGonzalez

Has anyone here ever played around with those old spark coils that they used to start cars with? I'm not even sure if "spark coil" is the right term but it looked like a wooden lunch box with a couple white wires sticking out of one end and a button.

I don't think anyone over here really has any massive collections (well, maybe some of the really rich toffs on the mainland UK, but I wouldn't know them :D ). It's sortof on a par with archery round here. Like the shooting festival on the IoM just before the TT - that's all ISSF shooting stuff for the most part (the Olympic stuff) mixed in with some NSRA stuff (that's basically the imperial version of the Olympic stuff - shooting at 25 yards instead of 50 metres, that kind of thing). Mind you. Apart from pistols on the mainland, I don't think there are many people kept out of the sport or out of hunting by the law here. I see the NRA lads kicking up a right fuss (and there are politicians here I wouldn't leave alone in a room with the law because they're thick as pigshit and twice as unpleasant) but by and large the law's been the same since 1815 because it *works*. For everyone.

I've never actually applied for a gun permit because I already do enough naughty stuff that it would be the icing on the cake if legalities got involved.

Big Clive

NINJA Edit: Thanks clive and Do they make you take as many tests thier adn renew licenses yearly and have game permits for hunting? EDIT2: Here in Canada on top of being licensed to hunt and to shoot, you need tags for the animals you plan to Hunt. Same goes for fishing unless your Statused Native

I'm talking more in a general American style of being able to buy guns easily and build up huge collections. The rural industry here does apparently make it easier to get guns.

Big Clive

Um. Clive. That bit right at the start? You're allowed firearms in the UK. And in the Isle of Man, you're allowed a lot more than on the mainland UK (there's a shooting festival the week before the TT, I've shot in it).

Mark Dennehy

I didn’t get chance to watch this earlier then noticed the video had been removed from YouTube...... at least it’s still available to watch here, they do look like fun.... but not as much fun as the “400Kv” multiplier you tried out before Clive! Brilliant videos. Two Thumbs Up!

Yup young and dumb, but lesson learned.

Charles Bruckner

Luckily, the chances of 30mA across the chest being lethal to a teenage male, is pretty small. Unless you had an undiagnosed medical condition, of course, in which case it's better to find out young, I suppose? :)

I have peed on an electric fence as well......not a pleasant experience to say the least!

John Carr

I've seen them used by lorry drivers, loading cattle, what I did think was that the kick from a 600 kg bullock was far worse than the electric shock............ Great things to get yourself hurt with.

I was having a rubbish at work. Thought watching one of your vids over lunch might cheer me up, and it has. Reminds me of a time walking back from a pub and needed to relive myself against a hedge, didn't equate the clicking sound coming from the hedge with an electric cattle fence :)

Obviously, we already know the answer, yet somehow aren't able to resist watching the video.. Human nature I guess..

Kinda reminds me of a no so smart thing I did as a teen at a halloween party. I had a 30kv neon transformer that was center taped to the case /earth so each output was 15kv ref to earth. I had a large 1/2 in thick rubber sheet I stood on while holding a wire from one of the outputs and in the other hand holding a neon tube about 15in long and having a friend turn off the lights. Put on a bit of a show. And if anyone got a little too close I would give them a little zap with the tube. Yes I felt bit of the zap but not as much as the target. Then the whole thing went terribly wrong when I got the bright idea to touch the tube to the other 15Kv output making a 30kv circuit at 30ma across my chest. Needles to say it knocked me on my ass and I broke the tube and learned a valuable lesson. Think twice when playing with High voltage.

Charles Bruckner

What a silly old bear!

Kean

should have brought it out during the long night of drinking,, that would make for a fun video....

Richard Boyce

Those things are great fun at parties, you pass them round and see who's dumb enough to try it on themselves. Hi Clive!

Moz in Oz

But only once it's sitting still enough for you to press through the fur. Like after it sinks it's teeth into you.

This is gonna be strike 2 isn’t it?...

Paul Smith

I have a feeling the listing mentions dogs because it might be a handy thing to have should you get attacked by a dog

Strange Universe

A real Electroboom moment!

I have never clicked on a video faster.

David Glover-Aoki

probably pigs

Steven Cox

It serves one purpose, Chase your friends around with it.

I used to shock myself with the piezo clicker from a BBQ lighter for giggles. Probably similar voltage but only a single pulse.

Martel DuVigneaud

I got a good chuckle out of this, thanks Clive. Big Clive: Doing stupid things, so YOU don't have to!!!

Loscha

Some AI with a learning disability or human ass-clown with too much time on his and/or her and/or other hands is gonna flag you again!

I know pissing on a electric fence does hurt.. Damn!! I was a dumb kid.
