Static electricity is thought to be a particular hazard for astronauts on planned missions to the Moon and Mars. Walking over the extremely dry terrain could cause them to accumulate a significant amount of charge; reaching out to open the airlock on their return could cause a large static discharge, potentially damaging sensitive electronics.

The StunStrike is a wireless electroshock weapon being developed by XADS.It is in various sizes from rifle size upwards, with various ranges. It is intended to incapacitate men and pre-detonate IEDs and incoming RPGs.
Electric shock — Physiological reaction of a biological organism to the passage of electric current through its body. Ferranti effect — A rise in the amplitude of the AC voltage at the receiving end of a transmission line , compared with the sending-end voltage, due to the capacitance between the conductors, when the receiving end is open ...
Motions like petting generate static electricity. For the first time, researchers at Northwestern University say they understand how the phenomenon occurrs. “If you put your hand on a cat, you ...
Electrical shocks on humans can lead to permanent disabilities or death. Size, frequency and duration of the electrical current affect the damage. [8] The effects from electric shock can be: stopping the heart beating properly, preventing the person from breathing, causing muscle spasms.
This type of shock by definition must pass into the body through the skin. Microshock: Very small current source with a pathway directly connected to the heart tissue. The shock is required to be administered from inside the skin, directly to the heart i.e. a pacemaker lead, or a guide wire, conductive catheter etc. connected to a source of ...
A taser, with cartridge removed, making an electric arc between its two electrodes. An electroshock weapon is an incapacitating weapon.It delivers an electric shock aimed at temporarily disrupting muscle functions and/or inflicting pain, usually without causing significant injury.
Being involved with electric shock research for the past 8/9 years having 13 books about electrical Shock injury such as Electrical Stimulation and Electropathology by J. Patrick Reilly and Electrical Trauma: The Pathophysiology, Manifestations and Clinical Management by R.C Lee (who I have met)E.G. Cravalho andJ.F. Burke and I have over 30,000 ...
