ATTN JMS: A miracle! Crusade renewed!
Troy Heagy
If by some miracle all the planets aligned and hell froze over and the
Sci-Fi Channel decided to renew Crusade.....
What approach would you take? Would you try and pick up the story where TNT
prematurely severed it? Or would you start from scratch with a brand-new
pilot and different cast?

Well said! Maybe we can get Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) to give him cardiac
stimulation with normal house current/voltage. :-)

To me, this is not an intellectual exercise. If someone said to you, "So, if
by some miracle of fate you and your girlfriend got together again, what would
you do?" It's an emotional and very personal issue and one doesn't get into
those things unless and until it becomes a reality.

450 volt three-phase is in order, I think!

European voltage, please 8->

IIRC, the problem is not the voltage, but rather the current and
*especially* the frequency. 50-60Hz is the worst (best for electrocution).
I was depending of people having seen the Mr. Bean video (can't remember the
title of the skit).

Troy,
If by some miracle all the planets aligned and hell froze over and you
did win the lottery.....
What would you do with the money?

Surely just the current, which (given a body of fixed resistivity) is
proportional to the voltage. Though increasing the frequency would
help penetration into any capacitive areas, I'm not sure there are any
in a human body, as it's all pretty wet.

It's from the movie "Bean".

Hmmmm...... how many minutes of TV would $30,000,000 buy?
(not that I'd ever win)
Mac Breck
Dry skin has a resistance of about 100K Ohms ot 600K Ohms.
Wet skin has a resistance of about 1K Ohms ot 600K Ohms.
Internal, Hand to Foot is 400 to 600 Ohms.
Ear to Ear is about 100 Ohms.
Actually it's more the frequency's ability to mess up the timing in the
heart, and stop it. At 50-60 Hz, over 100mA is usually fatal, while at DC
(0 Hz) it takes over 800mA to be fatal. At 10,000Hz, there is no listing
beyond "Some loss of muscular control" at 80 to 100mA.
Womens bodies are more susceptible to electrical current than a man's, and
the same effect can be produced with 60% of the current.

No. It's from one of the TV skits. I'll look it up. I have most of 'em.

There's also a scene in the movie involving involuntary flying
stimul;ated by a defribble-wibble thingy.

You could finance 32 Crusade episodes with that amount of money, since
the average Crusade budget was about 920,000 dollars per episode.
Thank you, you hypothetically generous mammal!

Typos fixed! "to" not "ot"
and
"to 600K Ohms" removed from Wet skin line. Sorry, I copied and missed it.

Yes, but that was using a device that's intended to be used on humans. I
was speaking of the time he jump-started a guy who'd had a heart attack in
the street. For that, he used two wires he tore out of a street light or
something. He just poked the guy on either side of the ribs with the bare
wires, and the guy flopped around like a frog when he did it. It was the
same skit where he used the ambulance that came to get the guy, to jump
start his Mini and in doing so, ran down the ambulance's battery.

I vaguely recall that now.
Mac Breck
called "The Terrible Tales of Mr. Bean" Volume 3.
The description goes "This man has a heart attack at the bus stop, and I try
to jumpstart him from a lamp post, but all goes horribly wrong (shame,
really)."
