Kinetics of Microbial Inactivation for Alternative Food Processing Technologies

Note that I am not claiming that this is a 'zapper' or
indeed that a zapper can produce field strengths shown.

"High intensity pulsed electric field (PEF) processing
involves the application of pulses of high voltage
(typically 20 - 80 kV/cm) to foods placed between 2
electrodes."

That's kV ... hundreds of volts, versus the zapper's 9V.

And they are STERILIZING the food. That treatment would kill
human cells.

ITYM "thousands" of volts.

Voltage doesn't mean [censored]. It can be transformed up or down
to any level you want. I sent a guy flying over the back of
a high backed office chair with a 9volt battery once.

Don't go where you do not understand and then make strong
statements.

Yes, but if you look at the plans for the Zapper ... there
is nothing in the circuit to change the voltage, and no caps
big enough to store much of anything.

Yes, I know how to read schematics and build circuits.
