Would a plugged-in hair dryer in the jacuzzi really kill everyone?

Not everyone... just the people in the jacuzzi.

Not that I have ever heard... The only effect that I have ever been made aware of is, as an adult the heat from a jacuzzi can lower a man's sperm count which could have and affect on a couple trying to reproduce, but this is not  permanent affect....\n\nGet in the Jacuzzi... You'll be fine.

if you get electrocuted by 240 v. you will definetly be severely burned internally. and dying is also quite likely.\nif you do live, then yes your brain might not function quite the same.\n\nbe careful around live wires.

It is to get rid of lice. The appliance works by blowing twice as much air as a typical blow dryer and the treatment takes 30-35 minutes. The air in this device is cooler than a standard hair dryer and kills buggs and eggs by drying them out. With this new invention, kids might get more happy that they can get rid of their worst enemy, the lice, and parents too...as it is an alternative to the powerful delousing shampoos now used to deal with this widespread problem.

I did after Hurricane Wilma. We had no electricity so our windows had to be open and the mosquitoes were driving me crazy. Nothing bad happened, but I wouldn't recommend burning the candle in an enclosed space.

After much wear & tear from the washing machine & repeated wearings, the fibers will break off. Some fabrics' fibers break more easily than others.\n\nThe science behind it is that static electricity builds up in the dryer as it tumbles the clothes around. This static helps pull the fibers away from the clothes & hopefully into the lint filter. If it gathers in the actual drier then I would check the lint filter. That is a possible fire hazard.

Very very dangerous. Potentially fatal.

there's a chance that a highly infectious disease with a long enough period of incubation could travel enough via its hosts to kill a lot of people. I don't know if it would be able to kill everyone though, it seems unlikely.

Everyone would die... really.

It's possible.  For a given source of electricity, there's always a trade-off between voltage (the potential or "pressure" of an electric current) and amperes (the "quantity" of electricity).  A tesla coil, for example, can take 110-volt house current and ramp it up to millions of volts; but the amperes are very low, so one usually doesn't feel more than a tickle.  The danger with a Tesla coil is that if it isn't wired correctly, some of those volts get traded back down for amps; and then you can have a nasty shock.  The human body is largely made up of water, so it doesn't take many volts to overcome the body's electrical resistance.  Even 6 volts is enough -- witness a car battery.  It's the amps that'll get you.\n\nAn analogy would be the difference between a cosmic ray passing through you at 186,000 miles per second, versus a bus hitting you at a mere 30 miles an hour.  You'll definitely feel the bus more.\n\nSo even a nine-volt battery (I assume you mean a "transistor" battery rather than a car battery) can deliver enough amps to hurt.  Because a battery delivers its charge at a slow rate (low amps), you have to use a capacitor to "gather up" enough electricity to deliver a charge at enough amps to make it hurt.  Theoretically, you could drain all of the charge from a battery into a capacitor, then let it all go in one burst; which I imagine would be enough to really hurt, if not actually kill.*\n\nI don't have a 9-volt handy to check the ratings, so I couldn't say what the maximum would be.  Maybe someone else here knows that part of the answer.\n\n* Just as a person can drown in 1 inch of water, so is it possible for someone to be killed by even a small current of electricity.  If the charge was delivered from one hand to the other, for instance, which would take the current across the heart, even a small shock could be fatal.  A pacemaker, for instance, delivers electric shocks to the heart which are measured in mere millivolts; but if that shock is delivered improperly it can cause heart failure.\n\nOh, and P.S., that's why you don't play around with the insides of a television, even if it's unplugged.  There are several capacitors in there which continue to hold a charge for a very long time, and have more than enough amps to kill you.  This has been a public service message.

It's not healthy if you have bubbles in the jacuzzi. The soap and such can get in your urethra and cause you to get a bladdar infection which may spread to your kidneys. It's also why they say for females not to take a bubble bath.\n\nSo it's perfectly okay if you do it as long as you leave out the bubbles.

Yes.  My oldest sister lived in a house that had poltergiest in it.  They used to do all kinds of things in that house.  They used to turn on the washing machine, they would play my sister's flute during the night, and they would also play the drums that belonged to my neice.  They never hurt anyone - just did little things like I said.  Sometimes they would turn on the radio, my sister would turn it off, and they would turn it on again.  You couldn't see these poltergeist, but they were always there.  They weren't mean, just liked to tease everyone.  It is just some kind of a "fluke" in some people's houses.  Don't know why but it happens.

Lol, probably if you hooked it up to a turbine or something (though I doubt you could power all that much from it!).\n\nOf course, the water board would come round and have a word with you if you were using water constantly...\n\nAs Answers has a 'no chatting' policy I can't actually ask you questions, so I'll assume that you are living at your parents or something hence the free water.  Or maybe you are on a fixed bill.\n\nFor the former your parents will kill you, for the later the water board will kill you.

it will work for a few hours than burn out the motor!\n\nso no!\n\n\ntake a cold shower and stand by a fan!

Of course it can. Its not highly likely to, but it CAN. Any appliance or device that is plugged into a power source basically has power in it's "veins", meaning in it's wires.\n\nIf there is a short anywhere internally in the unit it can create a spark that could cause a fire. Again, not terribly likely but it does happen.\n\nI don't have any stats on this but if you google it I'm sure you can find some.

nothing the electricity will be transfered along the outside of the sub and be dispersed into the surrounding water. Some of the electronics might suffer a little surge damage but nothing major would happen. Unless someone was standing on the exterior of the sub when it was struck.

It probably will to some extent - depends on how much... but then again, so will hot water, soap, and friction (washing).\n\nIf you want to kill germs in your bathtub, put the bleach (a good amount) in AFTER you get out of the bath...  No, not good for your skin, hair, eyes, nose, etc - why would you want it all over your body?
