During the Flower Power decade there was just one big setting. Lets go to the Chart Want proof? This chart from the Phillips Consumer Electronics Company puts the current day e-collar into perspective: To explain a joule is kinda complex. Close, but no cigar. Modern versions are capable of delivering very low levels of shock. A "bark collar" set on a high level emits 0. Used in a range of applications, including behavioral modification, obedience training, and pet containment, as well as military, police and service training. 

 Tunable controls and education have turned a shocking experience to one of gentle redirection." Oh well, we tried." History Things have changed. Get it? It&39;s not all that much electricity. A "muscle stimulation machine" set on a "normal level" emits. Set on a "high level" it emits 6.000005 joules (5 microjoules).Everything has the potential to be misused. A banana in the wrong place is one example. The electronic collar has become a tool that people can use to train their pup without causing the mutt to go blotto.0003 joules (300 microjoules). 

Responsible trainers continued to bad-mouth the potential abuse that one of these devices could inflict on an innocent dog. With an e-collar we&39;re talking about microjoules. You get the point. The second generation took care of this potential misuse. An electric fence energizer [a "charged fence" - not a pet containment system] emits 3. Plugged into the socket it could blast a hell of a lot of electricity into a dog&39;s neck.0 joules. After all, it runs on a small cell and not a car battery. A quiet person produces 100 joules of heat energy every second. According to the site Wise Geek, "To get an idea of the joule in everyday terms, consider the following examples. How about a breakdown based on the chart above: A "remote trainer" set on a low level emits 0.2 joules. But here&39;s the rub. 

A modern defibrillator can emit up to 360 joules. Enter the 21st century. It was not remote controlled. Remote control came to the party and allowed trainers the options of three different settings - high, medium and low. Not all that shocking, is it?. A joule is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of cool, dry air by one degree Celsius. Don&39;t overwork your imagination. Finally, the amount of energy required to lift a small china electronic water meter apple one meter against the Earth&39;s gravity is roughly equivalent to one joule. Dramatically. Take it from Wikipedia: "Originally used in the late 1960s to train hunting dogs, early collars were very high powered.
