A couple of little known facts about the electric chair. 1 The first electric chair was proposed by Thomas Edison. The same guy who gave us the lightbulb and the recorder also brought us one of the most horrible executions in history. 2 Emperor Menelik of Ethiopia, in a program to modernize his country imported an electric chair to be used as the new form of execution in his country. When it arrived it was discovered that there was no electrical service in his country so it could not be used. The king later used this device as a chair.

Edison was promoting DC electricity, Westinghouse was pushing AC. Edison convinced the prison authorities to use AC fot the execution, to show how dangerous it was. The execution was petformed the man took a long time to expire.

Voltage in this case is the electromotive force. Potential is more for open circuit or electrostatic energy. Very much like potential energy can be thought of a rock sitting at the top of a cliff. Using the garden hose analogy, The voltage would be something like the speed of the water flowing through the hose while current is represented by the cross sectional area of the water in the hose.

They took us to the execution room & strapped each one of us in the chair that starkweather & Harold lemont otte fryed in. We were all smartass punk kids, laughing the whole time. We walked down death row, to processing & last rights & final wiil & than to the chair. We stood there & looked at the chair & they explained everything about it. Than they said whose first. They told us once you walk in you don't walk out. They strapped each one of us in & put leather face mask on us (smelled like you can't explain) closed the doors (loud as hell & make do everything possible to get out of chair & than you hear the curtain open.

Its really a lot of people that execute someone, not just the person who throws a switch if you think about it. (by the way in some states they have multiple switches where only one switch works, so 2 or 3 people throw a switch but only one switch actually does the killing, and nobody knows what switch did it or who actually did it.)

It's my understanding that in modern times there are two people who press the button simultaneously and a randomizer decides which switch is used. That way neither person knows which one actually threw the switch. They did a similar thing for firing squads: all but one rifle had blanks, that way none of the men knew which one made the kill. I was watching a different video and one of the comments mentioned that an older executioner committed suicide after he died, presumably feeling guilty about what he'd done. I'm not going to say the people who do it are heartless. Honestly, they're just people with a nasty job to do. If it wasn't them it would be somebody else.

Does the executioner say to the condemned, 'Please be seated.'
@MontgomeryMall

In Texas, back in the days where they had and used the electric chair, the warden of the Huntsville Unit would ask the condemned inmate to "have a seat please" as he entered the execution chamber. "Have A Seat Please" was later used as the title of a book written by reporter Don Reid, who witnessed 189 executions at the Huntsville Unit from the thirties until the early sixties.

The first shock is to knock out your central nervous system and basically render you unconscious when it hits your central nervous system, you lose bodily function and can't control your bowels and your bladder that's why they stuff cotton up their rear end, and put an adult diaper on them so they don't piss and shit themselves. The first shock takes about thirty seconds then they lower the voltage and the amps to basically cause the heart to stop beating this usually is to last between 1-3 minutes and then back up to the original voltage to kill the brain. Which takes another 30 seconds to a minute and then death ensues. Afterwards the doctor checks to see if there's a heart beat if there's not, the electrocution did it's job. If it doesn't and there's a heartbeat, then they go back to the low amp/voltage until the heart stops beating.

If the sentence says “until death”, “until dead” “until death occurs”, “until you are dead”.....they can re-roll, re-load, re-infuse, leave hanging, even if the neck didn’t break right, as long as it takes. Generally if the person isn’t dead after the second or third try the prison warden halts the execution until he/she gets further guidance. But it’s not mandatory; simply something that is generally done. Botched executions have been rescheduled. Sometimes is kinder not to halt the botched execution but to proceed and finish it. In any case, it’s a slippery slope.

@MysteryFan Well, if you think my post is brainless, how would you call it then? Mistake, maybe? Oops, so sorry? Oh, I know, many people, mostly Americans, are like Muslims, death loving, death is an answer to any problem, exactly why the US society is so bloody violent. If the justice machine makes a "mistake" to execute an innocent, the justice staff, police, public prosecutor, judge, jury, are all guilty, and should be punished severely. Then there will be no more death penalties. A strict and lifelong prison sentence where the prisoner has to earn his own upkeep is a much better punishment, and yes, if the prisoner is innocent he can be set free and compensated for his time.

@@charlesciminera5881 there is a vast difference between murder of an innocent life and the punishment of someone who has crossed that line.
