Will paracord conduct electricity?

[hawgrider]

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people today aren't doing anything with 350kv, let alone doing it with paracord.

Unless the pocos are using 550 instead of aluminum. If they are, I'm sure they're experiencing a hell of a voltage drop.

So if you fly a kite with 550 cord over a set of 13,200v wires on a dry day you can be assured you're not going to die ?

OK, this originally started at 400volts. I upped the ante to 1069. Then we skyrocketed to 350,000. Now we've slammed on the brakes to 13,200. What's next? 7,400? 600? 750,000? 9? I'm not going to play if the goalposts get moved every post.

Speaking of goal posts, some chick from the US Women's soccer team kicked a field goal at an NFL practice and now she supposedly has an offer to kick in the NFL

I like the article saying some are concerned with her safety if she does play in the NFL.

But wait a minute, isn't she one of the dykes that has been bitching and whining about equal pay and shit? So lets see what she is made of...

You were not going to play fair anyway.

I've been playing fair on the question from the git-go. Just go look. I proved someone wrong, and they got all butt-hurt about it and started acting like a 3-year-old. I proved (not just said, "I was told..."..... I proved...) paracord does not conduct current at 1,000 volts.

Next thing I know I'm called names, attacked, claimed I said things I didn't say..... Typical troll behavior.


Nope.... not gonna play that game. There, or here. Don't like it? Tough.

I quit there, and I'll quit here as well. Flame away. I don't care.

Nobodys flaming you here. I may tug your chain but I have not lit the torch.

Now add a little moisture to that paracord and you are going to get zapped.

Don't go away all butthurt as you said... hell OSFG hasn't even hit this thread yet.

C'mon BackPackHack, nobody's flaming you, everyone here seems to really like you! Well maybe not EVERYONE but Most. Check that, probably not Most, but at least Some. By Some, I mean a few, probably more like a couple. I don't know, maybe just me.


Ease up! Everybody's just having some fun!

I work on 120 volts, 240 volts, 277 volts, 480 volts, 4160 volts, 6900 volts, 26,000 volts, and 500,000 volts, but what do I know.

What's your take on this 1000V doesn't conduct theroy?

I don't think I'm going to test it. To many variables! I wouldn't throw it over my drop coming into my house.

It's questionable. BUT, if the paracord had sweat on it, water on it, mud on it, etc., it's conductivity goes up. Technically, paracord is made of polyester fibers, which are generally considered "non-conductive", but I wouldn't test it with my life. It takes as little as 10 milliamps (0.01 amps) to cause cardiac fibrillation, and death. I'll take a pass.
