RF Cafe Video for Engineers - ELectric Eel Zaps CrocodileRF Cafe Video for Engineers - Electric Eel Lights Christmas TreeIf you are one of those outdoor types who loves to explore dangerous environments, watch closely. This video shows what can happen when a crocodile decides to eat an electric eel for dinner. It is an amazing, albeit gory, sight to behold. In a more urbane demonstration of the electric eel's potential (pun intended), an aquarium in Japan lights a Christmas tree with the charge supplied compliments of the beast in the tank. The electric eel is actually not an eel, but a knifefish. It breathes air at the surface, then dives for 10 minute periods. It can generate up to 500 volts at 1 amp (500 watts), delivered at 10 Hz up to a few hundred Hz. Recall that it only takes 1/10 amp to kill a man. At 500 V, a body resistance of less than 5 kΩ spells doom.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
