Jurassic Park db forum

Ya it was debated before, and I still say that there wasn't a huge difference in the O2 content.

what did all the voltage signs say?

were they all the same?

Yes, all the fences have the same signs who says: Danger 10 000 volts.

Maybe that the voltage didn't return to its full power immediately? I heard that 10 000 volts who returns in a same time in a cable would "destroy" it and make it inoperative.

It could be a pulse current too you know, not a constant flow.

Ok, so I'm no electrician..., whats the difference between a pulse current and a constant flow...?

Pulse saves on energy by alternating the current so the amount of electricity wavers in a wave from no current up to a full then back down and up again, while a constant is a constant full current. We used a pulse at the zoo for the elephants and even we could touch it, it was shocking to say the least but not deadly.

Oh my god! I didn't know that, but thats just shocking! And its not good to use a pulse current! But to even use a Pulse current IN Jurassic Park is just plain stupid! It makes you just wonder, why would Hammond go cheap on this of all other thngs?!! (Quote: "We spared no expense").
Anyway, if Raptors were able to figure out that the Pulse current was used - as in the timer used on it. They may have figured out that at certain time intervals it would be safer to touch the fence.... etc.
Actually, maybe thats WHY some raptors were escaping often (as Robert Muldoon said so himself). maybe they knew that during feeding time, the current wasn't as deadly and so it maybe have been easier for them to get to 'fresh-meat'...? I don't know, but its just a guess

well the current is a rapid up and down. Although one of our elephants figured out that trick and she used to break the wires. They are smart girls.

Ok, so Raptors would be capible of figuring out the trick too... right?

No the pulse current is a good thing, because if it was a constant current the shock of the electricity flowing through the body would keep the body loked onto the fence, therefore if the current was constant the body would remain locked and eventually fry. A pulse current not only allows the dinosaur to be shocked, but survive to learn its lesson.

That's very true freek, maybe a 1 second pulse would work.
