Can Non Electric Eels Kill You. An adult eel can produce a lethal 600 volts of electrical energy, which is enough to kill you or, if you live, leave you incapacitated for years. Electric eels, which are technically not eels but knifefish, are capable of emitting a shock of up to 600 volts —a force more powerful than a taser—that they use in the wild for hunting prey. Can an electric eel kill you? Kenneth catania of vanderbilt university talks to cynthia graber about electric eel research that led him to accept. Scientists have long known that electric eels are indeed electric. Electric eels use electric current to navigate, communicate and hunt for small prey. It’s rare to find documented cases that report deaths from an eel’s shock, but it can happen. In theory, if threatened, an electric eel could leap partway out of the water and deliver multiple electric shocks powerful enough to cause an adult person to have a heart attack or stop breathing. The shock could also result in a person drowning, even in shallow water. Can an electric eel kill you? But in the wild, they are elusive and difficult to study. When the electric eel senses prey or feels threatened by a predator, electrocytes create an electrical current that can release up to 600.
