Some friends ask: "Isn't it the electrical current that kills you?" Well yes,
but the voltage needs to be high enough to generate enough current.
Something that's capable of generating hundreds of amps doesn't necessarily hurt you.
For example, a capacitor like this one can generate a lot of current.
And right now it's charged more than...
...40 volts, you can see on the meter. Right now
I'm touching the wires, and I can't even feel it because the voltage is not high enough.
