Fishing with electricity

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

If you watch the second link you will hear a soft singing noise when he closes the "switch". There will be electronics chopping-up the battery DC and using an inductor or transformer to step-up the voltage.

If you Google, you will find a range of suggested output voltages, both DC and AC. 300V chopped DC is typical.

The guy who was killed was probably just using mains power with a long extension cord - just the active wire would be enough - but deadly,!
