This is the first complete & comprehensive web site to be published on the subject of electrical trauma in humans. Using information gathered from all over the world from the world's leading experts I bring you descriptions of the basic and complicated varied manifestations that electrical trauma can do to a human being so that you the survivor, survivors families & friends, the doctor, and solicitors will know & understand one of the most horrific accidents that can happen to a person. There will be nothing left out, nothing hidden from you. Before Edison's development of the electrical lamp in 1879 electrical shock was a rare event except for the natural phenomena of lightning strikes. From the explosive growth of electrical systems in human society came many cases of accidental electrical shock and purposely using electrical shock in the form of the electrical chair. The first legal electrocution was applied at Auburn Prison, New York in 1880. All electrical chairs used to electrocute criminals use a head and a calf electrode. There was no standardized electrical cycle used in the states. In Alabama, a 60 Hz sinusoidal voltage is applied as follows: 1800 V for 22 seconds, reduced to 700 V for 12 seconds then raised again to 1800 V for 5 seconds the power is then terminated to the victim. There is about 7 A when 1800 V is applied. Before you look around the website STOP & THINK......... Do you REALLY want to know.............. |
