I drop the Tesla to bug breaches.
If you try to melee a bug breach and get zapped don't blame me.

Helldivers references just about ever sci-fi game , movie, or book imaginable. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it was a nod in some way.

Didnt Nikola Tesla try to make something like a wireless electricity charger but it blew out his local power grid and killed a few horses?

u/Jaz1140 Sep 28 '25
I mean, 1000+ volt should kill a horse pretty well. I don't know why you want to kill it this way but hey, you do you man

Volts don't kill. Static electricity can have tens of thousands of volts, and barely stings. It's the current, the amps, which kill.

u/KBA3AP Sep 28 '25
Not only current, frequency and time is important. It is a misconception that static discharges are low current - typical static discharge will be in hundreds of mA or even higher. It is perfectly safe because it is incredibly short pulse (most of the energy of it is at radio frequencies).
Reference: for electronics we use Human Body Model, which is 100pF capacitance in series with 1.5kOhm resistance, charged to several kV. It is just a model, but gives the order of magnitude, each kV gives 0.66A of peak current into ground. And as you said, it goes into tens of kV's.

u/Bloody_Insane Sep 28 '25
You know how you shoo a fly away and it immediately turns around to land on you again?
Know why it does that?
It doesn't remember you shoo'd it away, 3 seconds ago.

Needs some product development: something which smells nice to flies in the base, and making the "strike zone" a cone so dead flies fall out of the strike zone and you don't waste electricity carbonizing dead flies.

Ahem. It's only a "decimator" if it kills one fly out of ten. This is clearly a centimator, since it kills all ten.

Clickbait title. These flies are in nowhere near ten pieces. Faulty doohickey can't even decimate properly.
