1. Output characteristics:
Wave form: Complex shaped pulse
Pulse rate: 19 PPS
Pulse duration: 100 microseconds
The trigger activates a 5-second cycle. The cycle can be
stopped by placing the safety lever in the "S" position.
Peak open circuit arcing voltage: 50,000 V
Peak loaded voltage: 1,200 V
Current: 2.1 mA average
Energy per pulse: Nominal at main capacitors: 0.36 joules
Delivered into load: 0.07 joules
Power rating: Nominal at main capacitors: 7 watts
Delivered into load: 1.3 watts


19 pps x 5 second = 95 pulses x .36 joules/pulse = 34 joules EVERY time
you press the trigger for 5 seconds. Look closely and time the number of
times the lady in the SUV was jolted when she was laying stunned on the
ground. How many joules of shock was she subjected to...150? That's
only 5 jerks on the trigger in 25 seconds.


This is from the specs on a Philips defibrillator machine used by
hospitals. For a patient to be a "50 ohm load", you'd probably have to
saturate him with salt water. Take 2 squares of aluminum foil the size
of defib pads and hook them to your ohmmeter. Try to get it to read LESS
than 5000 to 10000 ohms on your sweaty skin. As resistance increases,
the jolt delivered drops, dramatically. Even then, at much less than 150
joules, the dead body jumps right off the table!

Model Number 861304
How Supplied Defibrillator, battery (1), SMART Pads II (1 set), Owner
Manual, Quick Reference Guide.
Waveform Truncated Exponential Biphasic. Waveform parameters adjusted as
a function of each patient’s impedance.
Energy Single energy output:
Adult: nominal 150 Joules into a 50-ohm load
Infant/Child: nominal 50 Joules into a 50-ohm load.

Protocol Device follows preconfigured settings. Defibrillation and CPR
protocol can be customized using HeartStart Event Review or HeartStart
Configure Software.

My statement stands....BOTH DEVICES are delivering a PULSED jolt of
electricity designed to STUN human muscles into CONTRACTING, which both
do very well.
