The worst shock I ever received was from a high power, high voltage DC power
supply. 12,000 volts with current capacity of 1.5 amps.
Same here - lower voltage and amperage - 10Kv at about an amp.

Started at my right wrist and out through my finger tips.

What's funny is that every once in a while, the hand feels like it's
twitching really fast, but you can't see it. Another interesting side
effect is that it never seems to warm up - it always feels like it's
cold, but it's not.

Weird.

I saw a magician (I think it was the Mindfreak guy) get hit with
20,000,000 volts, but they never said how many amps.


I don't know how true this is, but I've been to a trauma seminar where
the presenter told of a guy who had 100 Kv go through him at a very
low amperage - like milliamps and walked away with only burn marks to
show for it.

Couldn't prove it by me.


I am sorry, I just checked again and he only claimed it was 3 million
volts and he wore a Faraday cage (sp). I don't know if it is real or
not but here is the video:
