compton recoil electrons

Compton recoil electrons are electrons knocked from orbitals of an atom usually by gamma radiation from a nuclear explosion.

These electrons create a brief current which results in an electromagnetic pulse or EMP which can damage or destroy unshielded electronic equiptment, mainly microchips. Such an event taking place at high altitude would result in wide scale electrical damage.

Electric Chair

Also known as the double shocker. The electric chair involves forming a shocker with each hand and putting those hands together so that they match up symmetrically. The pair of hands is then used to pleasure a female partner in the same manner in which a shocker would.
