Calories Burned While Being Tased/Tazered?

[Tsunami982]

Just a random question to resolve an office debate. Does anyone know the amount of calories burned while being Tased/Tasered? I know there are a lot of variable so lets say:

50k volts
30 seconds
average male (170lbs 5'9")?


Thanks,

Thinking of starting a new diet fad? :hmm:

Don't taze me bro!

Why stop at tazers?

How about tazered, during an earthquake, on a train, after having a black cup of coffee, while doing a Michael J Fox impression? Think of all the excess weight you'll lose in no time!!

You fool.

You just told the world about a weight loss technique that you could have charged $25 a shot for.

 

[vi edit]

Me thinks you are confused. It's *LAZER* weight loss. Not tazer weight loss.

The answer may depend on how far a part the probes are and where they are.

Negligible amount of calories for a single tase, but I don't believe the muscle contractions continue in spasms. I believe you would just hold for 30 seconds. So, not a ton of calories. The entire function is to cause the muscles to expend their energy very quickly.

And, I am not sure if a taser functions as a continuous stream or not (I don't believe they can, as they are battery powered and simply run through a series of transformers). So, 30 seconds could effectively do nothing, if after 10 seconds, your muscles are incapable of continuing to seize.

Similar idea,.. but, it is over the course of a long time,.. and, you are constantly shivering. Which would be pretty annoying.

I am fairly certain they sell a device designed to give you a 6 pack that just hits your stomach with electrical impulses causing constant muscle contractions. Not sure how many calories that burns, but it would definitely do something.

I mean, it won't give you a 6 pack (because you'd still have all that fat on top of it), but it would certainly strengthen your abdominal region.

I would suggest extensive scientific testing on a live/stupid person to precisely calculate the amount of calories per tase. However, since we banned Mayne, I'm not sure who would be next in line.
