Well...a violet wand is technically just static electricity, if you use the wand with the bulb on the end, no current actually passes through your body..IF the wand is working correctly, but there is no way to know if the wand is working correctly until you touch it to someone. It truly only takes 1/2 an amp of current travelling accross a persons heart at the exact right(wrong) moment of their beat patter to stop the heart. I just...well....shudders.....Im terrified of electricity, always have been...partly why I chose to study electrical engineering... Anyway, a violet wand is meant to be static electricity only, but since it technically does plug into a wall outlet....120V....depending on the amount of resistance the person you are using it on (or yourself if you use the little hand held thing to pass the static charge through your body and out your hand or other toys).....say a typical body...has about 100,000 ohms of resistance....120V divided by 100,000 ohms = 1.2mA....which is only about the threshhold of feeling, a slight tingly feeling. But say youve alreayd been through a pretty intense scene, are all hot and sweaty, and your high heels were hurting so you are now barefoot. Your resistance to ground could be as low as 1000ohms. Now, calculate that at 120V divided by 1000 ohms = 120mA which is leathal shock, capable of producing ventricullar fibrillation and death
