@ S121
That's the announcer speaking.

[Kristia]

Let the story flow pringles, now you will see

[S121]

@Wonder
It's just that I saw that your header said Huey.

[wonderweiss]

Yea, I can see how that can confuse anyone. This is the location Huey is at through his eyes. Here, next time I'll mention the announcer talking.

[S121]

@Wonder
Not unless you put, "the Announcer said."

It shows that the Announcer is speaking, while still showing that Huey is the character in focus.

[wonderweiss]

@ S121
Thats what I meant. I'll make the course results separately as you two post.

[S121]

@wonder
Ok.

[wonderweiss]

Hey does anyone know a dangerous amount of voltage?

[Kristia]

usually above 100v i think

@Wonder
Volts don't really kill people, Amps do.

I remember getting shocked with 220 Volts in Germany before. A pin was stuck inside of a socket, and I grabbed it.

My fingers went numb, but nothing major, other than the fact that I jumped over the arm of my couch and started convulsing.

It looked a little bit like I was dancing.

[wonderweiss]

So what would 500v be like?

[S121]

It all depends on Watts.

The American 110V outlets are actually deadlier than the 220V European outlets.

This is due to higher amperage in the american ones.

You can get shocked by a 1,000 volt fence and survive, just as long as the amperage is very low.

[wonderweiss]

Daf is amperage?

[S121]

Amps are how many electrons are coursing through a wire at a single instant (the current of electricity), while Volts would be the force behind the electrons.

Volts and Amps are not really measurements of power on their own.

What you really need to take into account is Watts.

To figure out wattage multiply volts and amps. V * A = W

One also has to take Ohms into account.

Ohms are the amount of electrical resistance in an object.

[wonderweiss]

Okay, I may have OP'd the Pupa's voltage here, but then again we're dealing with a game with tanks that walk.
