[TCML] Modern Marvels "Most Shocking"

["David Rieben" <drieben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Did anyone see the Modern Marvels "Most Shocking" episode
on the Discovery Channel last night (Monday PM, Dec 10)? It
was a pretty interesting segment on electric shock and Tasers,
difibrilation, (E)lectro-(S)hock-(T)herapy for chronically depressed
patients, electrified fences for prisons, and a few other things.
Sorry, there were no Tesla coils but they did show that huge
Van de Graaf generator at that science museum in Boston, MA.
They mentioned that 70 mA passing through the body was of
suficient magnituce to be lethal. It also showed a lineman
working on live 500 kV transmission lines from a helicopter.
Pretty interesting stuff....

David
