/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1088194
I spent all day in meetings. Everyone is still as confused as they were yesterday. I'm having to slow down my speech and use 'simpler' words whenever I talk about something. Two people don't like each other and bicker back and forth, perpetually finding the slightest reason to disagree at the expense of everyone else's time. A girl won't look up from her phone, then ask questions that were answered seconds before. The newbie proposed something that is actually quite good, but got disregarded for him being too green and not quite having the right background.
As for "making", I steamed some vegetables for dinner and now I'm answering question on /ohm/. Gotta be useful somewhere at least.

not him. if anything, I thought this thread was long dead, but since I'm seeing it on the front page again, I'll engage.
The issue with that saying, is that it's reduced to a dichotomy which is entirely not true. The dangerous aspect when dealing with any electric charge is not just one of the two properties people appear not to have an understanding of.
It's a combination of both, and the constants of the human body. A current through a vital nervous system will be lethal, but no current would be present without the voltage. A high voltage device capable only of low amperage won't be lethal, but as several have tried to explain, the voltage of the output drops, limiting the current that flows, essentially rendering a lower voltage supply.
A high voltage high amperage (even if it stays this way for a few seconds) source will kill you.
A High voltage low current is harmless assuming that the maximum current is never exceeded. in essence, current regulation is instantaneous. All it would take is a capacitor or inductor to turn this into a harmful source.
A low voltage high amperage source is harmless to your nervous system, as an insignificant current will flow due a low voltage. It may set other shit on fire, though.

In reality it's a combination of both that present the real danger, although it wouldn't take much to turn a high voltage source into something dangerous to a human. The reason several people hate that saying is it creates a false sense of security among those that don't know any better, then get themselves hurt on a CRT, PSU, disposable camera cap, etc. thinking they're high voltage devices just not capable of high current.
Keep in mind that I'm not taking into account the body's capacitive properties, which make a clusterfuck of us at high frequencies.
Can we lay this to rest?

... that's what he said.
My concern with this whole thing, is there isn't sufficient flow due to a noise centered design. If theycan handle being over volted, have their props changed, and the frame is removed, I don't see why not.
the question is, why?
