  1. My night is going very well, thank you. What about you?
  2. Alright, so focusing on tasers: I tried to find how exactly tasers damage the body, but I couldn't find hard numbers for it. I do know that tasers work by disrupting the nervous system. This can be done in two ways, one is that you simply force a current through the nerve cells which disrupts the signals going to the muscles and to the brain, which means that the muscles can not be temporarily controlled. The other way tasers work is that they send a signal similar to the one that comes from the brain through the nerves, this leads to the muscles contracting in rapid succession, and again immobilizes the person. The permanent damage inflicted by tasers is mostly muscle tears and (I would guess) damage to the nervous system. The tasers work with a high voltage but low ampere current, which allows the current to pass through weak insulators (like clothes). Jacking up the voltage might allow it to pass through things like leather armor too, though the effectiveness would probably be greatly reduced. (I couldn't find numbers on the resistivity of leather but I would guess that it is of the same order as of skin, which would imply that the effectiveness would be approximately halved) Highly increasing the voltages here gives rise to electric arc discharges, which are essentially lightning, but going from one end of the taser to other, to complete the circuit. This is probably not all of what you want to know, but I don't exactly know how to order all the other things in my brain.
  3. Oh I am so sorry, I checked it before going to sleep and then completely forgot about it. Half an hour I guess? It might go faster if I knew what precisely you wanted to know.
  4. I have a much different hypothesis about Threnody silver. The 'wound' in the Spiritual Realm has messed up everything about Threnody, a weird metal interaction is one of them.
  5. I don't know, my sources are my textbooks . A tazer works slightly differently in that it has 2 ends instead of one, to complete the circuit. The analogous case with a hand would be , eg. a thumb and a finger. This has the benefit that you have much more control over it, and the lose is that you can't exactly send it through the air (i.e. you must touch the other person). Armor will obviously stop a tazer, unless you can still touch the person, in which case it doesn't matter. Also, the damage due to a tazer is very localized, you can only harm the nerves and muscles around your hand. I don't understand what you are saying here. Aspire, how much electrostatics do you understand? 'Cause I can explain if you are just confused, but I don't know where on the internet I can find basic electrostatics.
  6. I let you have a nice 4 hour win now. Time for it to go back to me.
  7. The same prinicple. The way grounding works is that the earth is at a constant potential of (eg). 0V. So if you ever connect something which has a different potential to the earth through something which has a low enough breakdown voltage, the potential sets up a current which destroys the potential. This is how lightning works, when the potential between the clouds and the ground becomes more than the breakdown voltage of air, lightning strikes the ground. Now, if there is metal in between, because the resistivity of the metal is very very less than that of the air or the body, most of current travels through the metal. For this purpose simply keeping the feet on the ground is enough. But do heat flash make a person numb or make them loose their vision?
  8. I don't know big snow jackets, nor I know how is Texas, so....
  9. The fact that armor will get so hot in a second to make the person faint Usually when a person faints 'cause of heat it is because the person is hot for a long time, not if you get very hot for a short time. And if the armor is made very hot for a large time, I would guess that burning would come first.
