I am not planning to do so, just curious... Using a five amp hour 18 V (20 V Max) battery. At 1 million V, that would be somewhere around 3 A for one second? Sounds like a LOT of energy. Thanks.
Using cordless drill battery as stun gun?

Ad what will he do after that 1 second? And btw, a megavolt at an amp does not 'stun.' Very practical.

Enough to make a terrifying statement, anyway!

You don't need anything like 1m volts for that; 60kV is plenty. -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

It might be non-contact alright, but the user himself could end up getting zapped. -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

So 1M Volts would get you about of 1 ft arc in air*. * depends on temp and humidity and...
