What does it sense like to be shot ? Fortunately , thanks to the marvels of real science , researchers do n’t have to really scoot a person to recover this out : Ballistic gelatin has properties similar to the sinewy tissue paper of pig , which in turn is a good procurator for human tissue paper . fundamentally , their viscosities and densities are all very standardized , which mean it handles being fool away in a very similar room .
So , by extension , one could apply this gelatin to take another interrogation : What does it take care like to be electrocuted ?
As luck would have it , an audacious electrophile nominate Andy has recently been wonder what happens to ballistic gel when it encounters a powerful electrical electric current . Using a blockage of the translucent jelly - like substance , he demonstrate his power to torture it across a series of loud and effervescent experimentation on his YouTube channelPhotonicinduction , all in the name of scientific discipline .

Although he continuously up the voltage of the electrical current throughout this finical television – and produces some spectacular fireworks as he does so – this does n’t give the more scientifically fain viewers enough selective information as to how dangerous the current really is .
electromotive force refers to the difference in charge between two full point , and is just one of three chief variables describing the natural philosophy of electrical electric current . The amperes of the current report the pace the charge is flowing from one point to the other , and the ohms note value point how resistant the material is to the flow of charge . All three quantities are interrelated .
For an electrical current to do significant damage , it needs to be have both ahigh voltage and a gamy amperage . The higher the electric potential , the lower the tegument ’s – or gel ’s – resistance to the stream will be . The higher the amperage of this current , the more the charge will be delivered to the target over a set time limit .
Now , vernal Skywalker … you will give-up the ghost . Photonicinductionvia YouTube
So without bed the amperage ( or orbit of resistor ) values of the ballistic colloidal gel , it can not be properly compare to human pelt or muscle at this point . Nevertheless , its igneous burning is unnervingly mesmerizing to watch .
