iPhone Electrocution: Shocking News
Published on July 18, 2013
Ryan Talks about iPhone Electrocution
This week our very own Ryan Eldridge appeared on the Brandmeier radio show to talk about phones and electrocution. Read about the iPhone electrocution.
Transcript:
Brandemeier: Andrea did a story that piqued my interest about this lady who was on her iPhone 5 while it was charging. She took a phone while it was charging, she’s on the phone, the phone is charging, she picks it up, she’s electrocuted to death.
Cohost: Woah
Brandemeier: On a charging mobile iphone 5. Her sister tweeted out that she collapsed and died and warned everybody “don’t charge the iPhone 5 and answer it at the same time. Be careful.” That message went viral and guys like Ryan Eldridge, Hey Ryan, is that your name, is uh, your company’s called Nerds On Call?
Ryan: Yes it is. Isn’t that great?
Brandemeier: That’s the greatest name of a company eva! Nerds On Call!
Ryan: Well under certain circumstances it is absolutely possible. Let me give you an example that will kind of freak you out a little bit. Did you know that a 9-volt battery or a AAA battery directly to your heart can kill you?
Brandemeier: You see? right again, Nerds On Call. He know something only a Nerd would know. Now when you say a 9volt battery, you’re talking about something that would …that little square battery?
Ryan: Yeah. Just a little square battery that you lick and gives you a little shock when you’re a kid and you think aahhh that’s kinda funny. So there’s basically three major factors dealing with electricity. So there’s volts, which is kinda the amount of the shock you’re gonna get, amps, which is sorta the duration of the shock, and when you look at an iPhone charger for example, it only has 5 volts and one amp. Now if you took a 9-volt battery and applied it to your heart for a full three seconds, you’re dead. You’re gone. But your body has a natural resistance, which is called ohms. And so your body can take a lot of energy. So think about a lightning strike. people can survive that. or when you’re walking on the ground and you drag your feet and the static electricity. that’s 20,000 volts. So your body can handle quite a bit of electricity. It just can’t handle it over a longer period of time.
Brandemeier: So you’re saying that this lady was on the phone her iPhone 5 is in the charger; she picks up the phone, when the phone rings, she keeps it by her ear for a predetermined amount of time, time obviously too long, that actually killed her?
Ryan: That is totally possible, now there’s a super-secret section at the very end of the article that gives you a little bit more detail into what she was doing when it happened.
Brandemeier: What was she doing?
Ryan: She happened to be naked and she had just gotten out of the bath.
Brandemeier: Ah right, well that’s the end of that story. So that’s the end! What are you talking about? If she was naked and in a bathtub, there is no story! Nobody picks up a phone plugged into the wallsocket in a bathtub unless you’re stupid.
Ryan: And when I was a little kid you know we didn’t make toast when we were in the bathtub either. So there’s certain things that are common sense here that if you’re using electrical equipment while you’re wet and naked you’re gonna have a possible shock.
(indistinguishable)
Brandemeier: People out there aren’t going “Wait a minute iPhone 5 charger what? People died” No. People, don’t even, this isn’t even a story. It’s not going to be a story. Because I’ll tell you why: it was hooked up to the wall; she was wet; end of story. Use your iPhone 5 the way you wanna.
------------- END ----------------------
Sooo...Good thing our bodies have natural resistance to licking chargers and, of course, to radiation!
