When I was 16 years old, I assembled a 2.3 million electron volt beta particle accelerator. I went to Westinghouse, I got 400 pounds of translator steel, 22 miles of copper wire, and I assembled a 6-kilowatt, 2.3 million electron accelerator in the garage.

Fester has a lot going for him. He's 120 volt AC and DC, and he's great with dynamite. His only trouble is that he's one of the great losers of our time. He would make a great spy, but he kinda stands out in a crowd.

I fell off a bridge when I was, like, 17 years old and got electrocuted by 15,000 volts of electricity - fell 30 feet.

The Stax/Volt stuff is really what I grew up on.

Used to measure electrical potential difference in electronics and physics.

Measurement Unit

One volt is the difference in electric potential between two points that will drive one ampere of current against one ohm of resistance.

Electricity Basics

Household appliances typically run on 120 or 240 volts in North America, with variations in other countries.

A tactical move in fencing to evade an attack, requiring agility and quick reflexes.

Fencing Manoeuvre

In fencing terms, don't confuse 'volt' with the electrical unit, despite the same spelling.

Avoiding Confusion

Used specifically in fencing, not in other sports; understanding the context clarifies the meaning.

 to blindly obey authority, to go all the way to 450 volts. And it's like a dial on human nature. A dial in a sense that you can make almost everybody totally obedient, down to the majority, down to none. What are the external parallels? For all research is artificial. What's the validity in the real world?

 He thought the reaction was happening in the copper, rather than the solution. None the less, we honor Volta's discovery today by naming our standard unit of electric potential "the volt." This oxidation-reduction cycle creates a flow of electrons between two substances

 because he hadn't said a rational word in the weeks of observation. So they plugged him in again, and this time, they used 110 volts for half a second. And to their amazement, after it was over, he began speaking like he was perfectly well.
