Would a plugged-in hair dryer in the jacuzzi really kill everyone?

It seems to me that since the power cord on the hair dryer is insulated, the only conductors exposed to water are two closely spaced conductors inside the dryer. Since these are within inches of each other, wouldn't the fields be concentrated like a dipole field in the few inches surrounding the exposed sections, and fall off as a high order function of distance? Thus, it seems like people sitting several feet away in the tub would experience very little potential. I'm curious, but I'm not ready to try it just yet.

Not everyone... just the people in the jacuzzi.

Let's experiment...I'll stay out of the jacuzzi though Report It



Would a plugged-in hair dryer in the jacuzzi really kill everyone?

yes it could. as electricity will spread in water



So, better don't try to do that.

sounds dangerous anyway. But in most houses you would only blow a fuse or trip a breaker before causing death. Still sounds crazy though.

i dont think so.maybe just the person holding it.

There have been experiements done and yes as water is a conductor for electricity, anyone sitting in the bath would get a shock big enoough to stop their heart EVEN before the trip switch was activated. Dont try it

Don't do it, man. Because if it doesn't work, those people will never like you again, and you will probably have to kill them individually.



Seriously, a guy recently tried to kill his wife like that and it just tripped a breaker. His master plan ended up with his wife alive in the house and him alive in jail.



But if you really want to do it, use a really old appliance. Doesn't matter what kind. Pick one you won't want to tuse again.
