A 250,000 watt Taser would kill anything it touched. A typical police model is anywhere from 7-30 watts.


I wise old physist once told me the following in context of a collision. Mass won't kill you. Speed won't kill you. Momentum (Mass X Speed) is what kills....

Likewise it takes some Amps and some Volts to equal power (P=VA). Watts is what kills.. So....

How many of you have ever licked the end of a 9v transistor type battery?? That is a unique experience that is hard to describe.....
