Question: can you blow a safe open by transfering an electical curent through a human can and blow the safe open or wil you get electricuted

Hi David! It depends on what’s at the other end of your electrical current! So, if you just try and blow the safe open with electricity, you’ll definitely electricute yourself (or your friend or little sister who you’ve roped in). But, if you also use several kg of TNT or similar potent explosive, and only a tiny amount of current to detonate it, then electricution won’t be your biggest problem afterwards… Which bank are you aiming for? 🙂
