"We tested his clothes with a static electricity field meter and measured a current of 40,000 volts, which is one step shy of spontaneous combustion, where his clothes would have self-ignited," fire official Henry Barton said. Current doesn't come in volts. It comes in amps. It was that there was so little current that saved the guy! 40,000 volts is a lot, but only because of the possible current it could generate. I would think that a fire official would know that. -todd ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Most low income households are not online.
