Re: DC shock Vs AC shock

and thus we die from internal combustion.
yeah we die from heating ourselves up.
Actually there is more to it. Two atrias and two ventricles under them are electrically induced muscles in heart. At least as far as we know. In fact myocytes kind of muscle which makes these is electrical impulsed muscle.
Any electrical impulse makes both atrias and ventricles to contract together making heartbeats.
Imagine if existing electrical impulse is added something else in magnitude AC or DC. Heart will fibrillate!
Well under condition of fibrillation it is true heart will beat faster. Will it mean more blood/oxygen pumped???
No! Because the cycle fast isnt a requirement. The amplitude of fibrillation/oscillation or this new heartbeat occurring is very small in compare to full regular heartbeat.
In medical terms this is called "quiver". Heart is quivering. Is beating fast but amplitude of beating is very small and amount of oxygen/blood is about at least 20 times less then regular heart beat.
There are people who had fibrillation/quivering of 500 (500/60=8.3 Hz frequency) heartbeats per min. Regular heartbeat is between 60-90 (1-1.5 Hz) under normal state.
It is "shocking" why so fast heartbeating so little blood/oxygen is pumped. There is condition of "heating ourselves up" because we have resistance.
Adding up complications addition of electrical current (ac or dc) is creating to our electrical system body OF COURSE does not get any better but worse.
Kids do not play with electricity! Santa-Clauss will not bring you presents for Christmas because he will be mad.
