They're the ones that are supposed to be brave and not believe in monsters, so why they did they always spend a healthy amount of each episode running from the monsters as well? The main difference between them and Shaggy/Scooby was really that they were willing to investigate.

I think it's because the 'monsters' were criminals that could actually hurt them. None of them wanted to get hurt.

Fight or flight mode I guess. Common sense would dictate if there is someone dressed up like a crazy person trying to scare people away, you don't wait around to see just how far they'll go lol

I'd be scared of anyone chasing people around with a 10,000 volt battery pack.

A Taser comes in at about 50kV and we know what that does to a person so 10kV will still hurt - a lot. Besides you don't know the amps he's drawing - Tasers are designed to draw milliamps, anything more could stop the heart. Volts hurt, amps kill. Ohm's law is all you need here so if only they'd specified the ghost's Wattage in the title we'd know for sure.

Oh. Good point. Can't be higher than the batteries' though right?

Oh. Good point. Can't be higher than the batteries' though right? We can assume they aren't submarine batteries :-). So the equation you want is I=P/E or I=E/R (I - current, P - power & E- Voltage). We know E and unless those batteries are backing some serious power we can assume the current will be low (as P/E and E is a big number) BUT, even a low current can kill if it across the heart (tens of milliamps - 0.01A). Plugging that into Ohm's law all you need is 100 Watts of power and it's potentially game over for someone. Another complication is if this is DC or AC as I think that has an effect on how dangerous the current is. |

hes called the 10000 volt ghost not sure how volts tranklate to watts.

hes called the 10000 volt ghost not sure how volts tranklate to watts. Watts = Volts * Amps Watts = Volts 2/Resistance As we don't know the resistance or the amperage you don't know the wattage. |

DC power from the battery pack, guessing a bunch of nine volts.

thats right russm. we cant figure out how powerful the amps are..

Well, even though they belive they are just guy's in masks that doesn't mean these people still can't hurt them. They all run for different reasons I guessXD

DC or AC really doesn't make a difference. I never understood that whole argument Edison and Tesla had over it. AC is more prevalent, has more ways of entering your body, and is more easily stepped up in power. Those are the only ways I believe it more dangerous. Dead is dead, whether it's DC or AC lol a good example for people, a lot of obstacle courses have 10,000 volt wires to shock people. Typically it's safe for most people because it's low amps. In general, .1 amps is where it becomes lethal. Most home circuits are 15-20 amps.
I've been shocked several times by residential 120v. The worst I was ever shocked was by an undischarged capacitor in an a/c unit. My boss has been hit with 240 and somehow ca me out ok. I work with electricity everyday and I'm deathly afraid of it. Probably why I'm not, well, dead lol
