thanks!
OP
I absolutely believe it. In a very reductive nutshell, a decibel measurement (dB) expresses the acoustic energy of a sound. Importantly, decibels are logarithmic and increase in orders of magnitude (log10).
Human speech is usually 40-60 dB.
A rock concert is going to be at least 100 dB.
The Space Shuttle blast-off produces 160 dB.
The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 - heard around the world - was 180 dB.
The click of a sperm whale can reach 236 dB.

That is an unbelievable amount of energy turned into vibrations. Run it through the nerves in your hands? Paralyzing.
He did say that it was a new area of research. Sketchy is the correct term. So that when they learn to stop putting their arms out, then the paralyzing forces can be placed right against the researcher's torso. Seems like it should be mostly okay. When you check the dive boat for an AED. Verify that they paid extra for the 4.5 hour battery though.
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing that.
