“Ohm’s law says that the current is voltage divided by resistance, so 110 volts / 2500 ohms gives 0.044 amps. At first, one might say that the orca would survive since that’s less than the fatal level of 0.1 amp. However, that level is easily enough to cause the muscles to contract violently, and if that condition persisted for more than a short time, it would kill by respiratory paralysis. (Again, assuming whale physiology is comparable to humans’.”
Quarter stick of dynamite or 110 volts would do the trick.
That’s no way to behave as a guest.
Maybe the host shouldn’t trash my ride.
That’s why the orcas are destroying the yachts, we’re destroying their ride.
*see my original comment.
110 would not do the trick.
Not with that attitude.
