the output of the electricity is rated in Kilojules (spelling?) needles to say you would Not want to be on the receiving end of it..

Gauss is the measurement of the particles in steel which have been polarized and it give you an amount of "magnetism"


Standard Ferrite composition material will reach total saturation at approx 18,000 kilogauss, Neodymium (a rare earth metal) will handle up to 22,000 kilogauss before it reaches saturation.
