I actually ran a scientific experiment on these guys. My 3 incher peaked at 46 volts. The bigger they are the more volts.

Would it be possible for them to short out equipments like pumps and heaters with their electrical charges and fields?

Full grown I've heard anywhere from 300-400volts. But yes the smaller they are the less the produce, and it really gets alot stronger once the hit 8ish inches.

I don't know why, but I have always loved the way they look. Do they grow fast?
