How many volts and amps does a typical zapper output?
On page 15 of her book, The Cure for All Diseases, Dr. Clark summarizes the specifications for a zapper. She says it must have a DC output of 5 to 10 V. We can now calculate the maximum current output from the output resistance of the generating circuit. She uses a 1000 ohm resistor to limit the output current to safe and effective levels. With a maximum output of 5 to 10 V, this resistance gives us a maximum possible output current of 5 to 10 milliamps. In practice, the actual DC current delivered to the body is considerably lower than this, because of the extra resistance at the surface of the skin and in the body itself.
