i've been knocked around a handful of times (and every one is too many). 120v hurts, even if you aren't grounded. 240v hurts less, but has more of a knock down, rather than a grab and hold. i'd have to dig to back up the 240v thing, but it's there.I think 20-30 amps at any AC residential-volatage is an ass-ton, 240 or 115, but more importantly the higher voltage literally BLASTS you off, it's the lower voltage that causes your muscles to contract and exposing you to a longer shock.
I don't know what you mean by 240volts being in sync with the body, you lost me there.
But amps still won't do much if the voltage is low.
Seriously though, the 115 isn't bad at all, compared to a high voltage DC shock, as far as pain goes and overall physical discomfort. Distributor-less ignition systems hurt like a BITCH, same concept as a taser, only higher. Never been tased though... Is that a word? Tased? Or Tazed? whatever
and tazers blow. big time. it's like getting hung on a 12ov circuit, causing full contraction rather than a blow.
