A TENS unit uses high voltage to pulse a muscle about once per second-- at well under 1/10 milliamp of current (I hope). A Zapper uses low voltage pulses -- 8 to 10 volts -- that usually can't be felt and don't affect the muscles. It runs anywhere between 700 and 30,000 pulses per second and the current is usually about 1 to 2 milliamps. (My Zapper produces 8 volt pulses, with current limited to 1 milliamp except during the leading edge of the pulse, at a frequency of about 2100 pulses per second.) -- Dean -- from (almost) Des Moines -- KB0ZDF -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
