LED 1

The hot dog has 120 V across it.

If you're *not* going to eat the hot dog, a neat trick is to stick a bunch of standard LEDs into it. Apparently the voltage between nearby points on the hot dog are at a fairly low voltage, since the LEDs don't seem to burn out.

Really funny! I love it.

Do you know it works in 230V (Europe)?

Did the boy really eat the hot dog?

I presume that it does work in europe, although with the higher voltage it is *even less safe* -- as if that were possible!

Yes, we all ate the hot dogs, but not the one that had the LEDs in it.

Perrimoon, it should work, but it will probably expl0de or something like that.

And, most importantly, 110V can't kill you
230 can period.

MadCatMk2 Please note: 110V will kill you just as much as 220V. It's the current flowing through you that kills - by stopping your heart. If you're well connected, 24V DC can kill you. I repeat: 110V is just as dangerous.

LOVE this stuff!

In case there is any doubt, this is *extraordinarily* dangerous! 110 V can kill you quite efficiently. Don't try this *at all*!
