After depicting a few near-misses, it concludes with a boy receiving an electric shock from a wooden-pole-supported 11,000 volt wire when the mast of his boat strikes the conductor. Again, from the stand-alone TV broadcast, the incident is assumed fatal, but again the longer film clarifies otherwise, referring to the victim having been 'knocked ...
A crocodile clip or alligator clip [1] is a plier-like spring-tensioned metal clip with elongated, serrated jaws that is used for creating a temporary electrical connection. This simple mechanical device gets its name from the resemblance of its serrated jaws to the toothed jaws of a crocodile or alligator .

Tables in electrical safety codes give the maximum allowable current based on size of conductor, voltage potential, insulation type and thickness, and the temperature rating of the cable itself. The allowable current will also be different for wet or dry locations, for hot (attic) or cool (underground) locations.
Hot is any line or neutral conductor (wire or otherwise) connected with an electrical system that has electric potential relative to electrical ground or line to neutral. Ground is a safety conductor with a low impedance path to earth. It is often called the "ground wire," or safety ground. It is either bare or has green insulation. [1]
The victim is undressed and then tied to a chair or table or hung by wrists or upside down by the ankles. Often water is thrown over the victim to reduce the electrical resistance of the skin and to increase the effect of the shocks. Two people operate the picana. One adjusts the rheostat control to increase or decrease the voltage.
