[citation needed] Electric shock which does not lead to death has been shown to cause neuropathy in some cases at the site where the current entered the body. [10] The neurologic symptoms of electrical injury may occur immediately, which traditionally have a higher likelihood for healing, though they may also be delayed by days to years. [10]
The spread of arc light–based street lighting systems (which at the time ran at a voltage above 3,000 volts) after 1880 led to many people dying from coming in contact with these high-voltage lines, a strange new phenomenon which seemed to kill instantaneously without leaving a mark on the victim.
In January 2023, Los Angeles Police Department officers tasered a teacher at least 6 times resulting in the man's death. [109] In 2014, Catasauqua, PA police officers inflicted serious injuries on a man, during a DUI arrest, when they tasered him eleven times while he was handcuffed and restrained in the back of a police vehicle.

In the late 1870s to early 1880s, the spread of arc lighting, a type of outdoor street lighting that required high voltages in the range of 3000–6000 volts, was followed by one story after another in newspapers about how the high voltages used were killing people, usually unwary linemen; it was a strange new phenomenon that seemed to instantaneously strike a victim dead without leaving a ...
Stopping power is the ability of a weapon – typically a ranged weapon such as a firearm – to cause a target (human or animal) to be incapacitated or immobilized. Stopping power contrasts with lethality in that it pertains only to a weapon's ability to make the target cease action, regardless of whether or not death ultimately occurs.
A transgender woman was shot and killed from point-blank range by a man to whom she had just given oral sex, Minnesota cops say. Damarean Kaylon Bible, 25, was charged with second-degree murder ...
Bug zapper traps may be installed indoors, or outdoors if they are constructed to withstand the effects of weather. However, they are not effective at killing biting insects (female mosquitoes and other insects) outdoors, [4] [5] being much more effective at attracting and killing other harmless and beneficial insects.
The ampere is named for French physicist and mathematician André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), who studied electromagnetism and laid the foundation of electrodynamics.In recognition of Ampère's contributions to the creation of modern electrical science, an international convention, signed at the 1881 International Exposition of Electricity, established the ampere as a standard unit of ...
