Re: Pencil Battery Short Circuited in Child's Mouth
Agree.. Maybe if he destroyed the pencil battery of the tv remote, and his father got so mad that he shot the kid in the face with a firearm |

Re: Pencil Battery Short Circuited in Child's Mouth
"Low-voltage electrical injuries are relatively uncommon. Injury caused by flow of heavy current due to short-circuiting a low-voltage battery has not been described in the English literature. A 9-year-old boy connected two thin household electrical wires to the two terminals of a 6 volt (lead accumulator) battery and pressed the other two ends between his teeth. This resulted in a blast causing a compound comminuted fracture of the mandible and extensive tissue damage in the oral cavity. The low internal resistance of a lead accumulator (approximately 0.03 ohms) permits the flow of a heavy current (approximately 200 amps) when short-circuited. This instantaneously vaporises a minuscule portion of wire at approximately 2000 K resulting in a sudden rise of intraoral pressure to 30 kg cm-2 leading to tissue damage." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10434896/ looks like it |
