Microwave

[promapicide]

I heard some people have died from touching the transformer in a microwave. If I touched it after soaking in a salt bath, would it be lethal? If it goes wrong, what would happen? I know nothing about this subject tbh, but I like the idea because of how accessible it is.

Thank you in advance for the replies

You'll likely start a/set yourself on fire or give yourself electrical burns. Though if anyone here has any electrical engineering experience they may better be able to help you better.

1Amp 2KV 50-60Hz will kill you if the current passes through your heart, still wouldn't recommend though.

There are much easier ways to die.

Do you have any recommendations? I'm someone who struggles understanding complex instructions/concepts, so it seems both living and dying have been particularly difficult lol

Hanging, drowning, jumping, falling.
A fast four...

I would highly suggest against this method, as like people said, there are more effective and peaceful methods.

This seems awfully unreliable to me. Im in no way encouraging it, but I would personally rather have an instant ctb, such as jumping. That way it is guaranteed, and nearly painless.

With your comments I've definitely decided it's not worth the risk. I also found a page highlighting similar deaths, but the aftermath of those who did survive again make me recognize it's not worth it https://www.woodturner.org/Woodturn...fety-Fractal-Burning-Lichtenburg-Burning.aspx

Aren't jumping and falling the same?

I think if you read about executions on the "electric chair" you come to the conclusion that dying by electrical current isn't a good method at all.

There can be deadly accidents but people also survived thunderbolts severely injured ...

Electrocution is very nasty. They use up to 5kV DC, which will burn flesh and muscles ... using lower voltage AC has a different effect. Cramps, pain, at some point your heart might stop, but this can take minutes of suffering ...
