Too bad they went with a relatively low frequency. 400 Hz is widely
used in aircraft and has numerous advantages. In fact, if they would
go to ~1000 Hz, electrocution would become a thing of the past. The
human nervous system can not sense an electric shock when the
frequency is higher than 600-700 Hz or so. One could still get a
nasty burn, but think how many lives would be saved.
OT, to be sure.
