All the electric motors, less the DC motors, would have to be changed
out to ones which would run at the higher frequency. That would be one
way to lower the unemployment rates..hi hi....... One would have to use
120 Hz to make the RPM match up in the end I would think. If the speeds
were increased, the torque drops so they would have to use the same
speed motors that is currently being used. If the motors run at X2 the
speed, the torque would be 1/2 what it supposed to be thus any hoists or
cranes would only be able to lift 1/2 the load but X2 as quick. Same
thing in any other machinery too. That would end up a very expensive
change over =)

Will, there is no 'natural' frequency for any mammalian nervous
systems. There *are* several well-known rates devolving from varsious
neurlogical processes, but the rate and frequency of action-potential
propagation in the nervous system depends on the originating stimulus.
If you grab the wrong end of a soldering iron, that particular group
of impuses may only fire once or twice, although there will be a good
number of parallel processes, from jerking your hand away to filling
the nieghboring air with Fanciful Language.
In the case of the optic nervous process, then the potentials are
firing quite rapidly, upward of 100 Htz for each nerve in the optic
bundle.
But the main reeason for my alarmed screed is still the very
dangerous lack of a basic understanding of the hows and whys of
electrical safety (as it applies to our rather dangerous hobby)
evidenced by the original posting's premise that shock hazards and
electrocution danger could in any way be mitigated by raising the
mains frequency.
Not to mention that a line F of 1Khtz would make my old clocks run
really really fast, and there's barely enough time to get Stuff done
as it is. Perhaps that's my subconcious reason....
