The Physics Factbook

[Guest Rustic Monk]

So, yeah. I was checking up on my favorite hacking blog and found a nifty DIY ecg (ectocardiogram). There was this little warning on it that said something like "don't go sticking electrodes in people unless you really know what you're doing." It was linked, too. The link went to a page in the Physics Factbook. The article was entitled "Electric Current Needed to Kill a Human." And, as I love reading anything as interesting as a factbook. I decided to share it with you. I'll show up in a couple months, once I've finished reading the whole site.

^^^ That's for the physics textbook.

^^ Is also really cool.

He SAYS he's reading the factbook, but I think he's really just trying to recover after doing a little self-testing around the issue of electrical resistance and the human body.

cheers!
