I remember when you'd go to the Tractor Supply or True Value hardware store and you had one or two choices. One was a yellow metal box and the other was the trusty Red metal box. It didn't matter which one you bought, they'd both knock your D in the dirt, but the Red one tended to work better and lasted longer. I don't think either of them had any markings other than the On/Off switch and the dial that amped up/down. Heck, I bet if you go to any old timer's farm you'll find a few of the Red ones still working to this day.

I get whacked all the time by my 9 joule charger. It's a good blast.

I have a 48 joule charger and it is used for my chicken barn. I got shocked by it and I woke up 20 minutes later. Shame the cows didn't respect it

"Don't pay attention to the miles, pay attention to the joules." That statement is true when picking electric fence chargers and when picking a man.

I could be wrong but isn't the milage all based on the conductivity and thickness of the wire you are electrifying; thus, the joules are the only thing that matters because you choose the wire that's being electrified.

I live downtown in a major city and have no use for this. But I can't stop watching videos like these. They're so interesting. I'm also jealous of the amount of land you have.

As a kid we had an electric fence to keep my dog from digging in the septic mound. As young boys we had the genius idea to pee on it. 🤣🤣🤣

In south africa we electrify wall top fences with 10 joule energisers to keep the thieves out of our yards and still they get through them 😮

My great grandfather give me an old fence box he called the cracker box. It was bright orange and was on two seconds off too seconds. It did not have and f around in it. You couldn’t let go(so thankful it was on and off) and it made a many either piss or shit themselves. It was some old farm equipment 25 yrs ago. Wish I still had it.

My wire is 11 j. My boy touched it once and told me he could feel the fire in his hair. There was no fire, but he screamed like there was. It's rated for 160 miles.

Just another way to look at this, as a Paramedic when we're doing CPR & attach an AED to you, or manually defibrilate you, we shock you at 200j then 300j, & max out at 360j which is what we continue shocking you at. Trying to smack the heart with electricity telling it to knock off the funky rhythms & beat the way you're supposed to.

Thank you. Been trying to figure put gow to rig my fence up so trespassers quit cutting through.

Uh, was pulling scrubs with a team of ponies. Electrified barb wire, and the red charger. They walked forward while eating, pushing me into the fence. Then they got it too, rearing up, with me, in-between.

The ambulance shocked me with 50 joules, 🤯 felt like I levitated

Around my mother's property of 190 meter (623 Feet) is a 8 Joule Energiser. Standard for the neighbourhood.

Instructions unclear, connected 5KJ pulse capacitor bank to electric fence.

thank u i been buying the longest milage i could find thinking that made the difference u saved me from getting rippednoff next time. even ive prob spent $700 on the last 2 i bought totaled

More joules is great and all, but I’ve had a 0.18 joule charger successfully ward off bears. “What!?!” I hear you say, “a bear won’t even feel 0.18 joules.” They will if the fence wire is in their mouth. I bait my fence, one zap and they’re done trying for the year.

We run a Power Wizard 18000, has 18 joules. If you are touching a good ground source it will sit you down for a bit.

I did car stereos I had a 16 farad alumapro cap Small but heavy as shit, came with a relay same size as the starter. 2000 joules It wouldn’t just knock you down, it could easily kill you

Excellent point. The electricity may travel 15 miles but it is so weak that you won't even know it is there.

Gallagher - their head office is about ten minutes away, in Hamilton, New Zealand 😁

Thats interesting that electric fences are measured in joules. In aus (unless its changed in the past 6years) our fences are measured in Kv

My last fence charger was 60 joules !

My grandfather had a 15 joule unit that was military surplus from ww2. That thing would make a grown man cry

I keep thinking of Samuel L. Jackson when you say joules. 1.2 Sam Jacksons. Now that says power.😁

Didn't even know that the distance was a thing, ours just have the power rating

I think I heard of a 13 jule charge once. Ex girlfriend’s grandpa made his own charger. He fried a raccoon once with it. He was our 4H club electric leader at one time. He would grad 110 and tell you it was off by a volt. He would be right. He had 3 rows of teeth they were so bad. His name was Adolph before it was a bad thing.

I was like what my batt charger aint in jewls .I see its electric fence charger lol

Always pay attention to amperage, never pay attention to the voltage. Takes like 100,000 V to kill someone takes half an amp to kill someone.

Or save money and run the wire under high voltage powerline if you have it going trough your property. Free electric fence.

If I'm constantly watching my joules, how will I get anything else done...?

definitely want to pay attention to the joules when you have to take a wee and are too close to the wire. keep them joules at a safe distance

I’m not sure the joules but it is a Gallagher one that runs off 220volt. It will put you on the ground.

My uncle was working his land in Northern Ireland during the troubles. He noticed a British Army patrol tactically heading towards him around the boundary of the field. He stopped working as two soldiers approached him. Things were a bit tense as they questioned him about his identity and where he lived, had he noticed anything unusual etc. Then they asked if that was his electric fence across the gap? He said it was and the two soldiers smiled and one said ...'our sergeant just caught a shock to his balls when he crossed it!' Must ask my uncle if he remembers what the joules were.

wonder why they went with joules as the measurement instead of watts?

There’s also 2 readings if you have a fence checker and the bigger the small number the Jules the hotter it is, we get over 2 cause grandpa finds the good shit 😂

When you get your oven thermometer make sure its in Rankin.

None of the pulse ones. Full power 100%of the time so when someone grabs on they can't let go.

Actually, you should pay attention to both. Because why have a French charger? That puts out a higher shock, but not go the distance. So you should pay attention to the distance and how much they put out and find the one that works best for you. Just don't pay attention to how much it puts out for the shock

I got mine hooked directly up to mains voltage. It doesn’t work anymore and everything burned down

Jumper cable manufacturers do the same thing. They claim the cables are good for 500, 800, 1500 Amperes even, whereas the conductors on all of them are only 10 or 15mm^2 in cross section. Look at the wire cross section surface (or wire gauge), the claimed amperage can be just as bogus and made up as the fence wire mileage.

Cows, sheep, goats, elephants, children, grandparents all need different electrical shock levels. (I know) I presume thats why there is different levels

I wish shed pay attention to the jewels

Just strip the end of a drop cord and attach it. 120 joules!

Thanks a lot. Still didn't keep my wife in during Black Friday 😂

wonder if you could add transistors to the fence to boost the power 🤔

Just connect the fence to 240V (Australia) and you got 300km

You leave my jewels out of this!

The miles are important if you use a 15 mile charger on a 10 mile or a 20 mile fence you’ll kill your charger

What is joules on electric fence? Think of joules as the horsepower needed to carry a load. The length of the fence, how old the fence is, and how the fence is constructed should determine how many joules are needed. Typical recommendation is one joule per mile of fence. Keep in mind that bigger is better, until the point that induction occurs.

I keep on telling my fiance the same thing she's got to look at my jewels😅

Joules rule Hollywood

the first thing you should look up is your local laws about them. in many countries and states the allowed strength is limited and dependent on the animal that it encases. if you don't hold to these laws you can really get into trouble.

Grab the ground rods with one hand and the fence with the other hand. Cyclops will put you on the ground.

Wait till he hears about the life pack

Jules is work, Jules is in the same catagory as calories, possible work that can be done. . ..

I was going to try it but the city requires a 6ft fence in front of the electrified parts & it must be a DC powered one. I still think I wasn't tot put one on my roof to get these squirrels from chewing my lead.

I remember to correctly check your fence charger was to have the kids piss on the fence if they did it again you threw it out and bought a new one and when they ran off crying you said it could be better amd you bought the biggest one they had when the kids test that on and ot knocked them on the ground and ran all the way back home and told grandma on me then i knew i had ome that worked😂😂😂

You have to pay attention to both. Read your damn owners manual. That half Jewel rating is probably an average over selected distances. If it says half a joule at 5 miles it's probably closer to that rating at 3 or 4 MI. Anything shorter and you're going to have more power going through because there's less resistance. If it's a good brand it will tell you what rating at what distance and with what wire.

I just power my fences with 240v 🤷‍♂️ it works it’s killed anything that’s ever touched it 😮😂

The family jewels 😂😂

Its all fun and games until grandad left me his 14joule buffalo unit Havent found any legalities on it but I'm not game to even use it

80 MILLION THOUSAND VOLTS SHOULD BE ENOUGH

You think hell yeah more power until the moment you touch it on accident 😂

So what happens when my dog touches the fence? Is it like they're going to learn to not touch the fence or am I going to need a new dog?

Your jewels will thank you.

An air rifle can produce up to 16.25 Joules and not need a permit or license.

1.2 Joles. Now it it only had 1.21 gigawatts it could make time fly. 😎

I'm going to be getting a small bit of land, I want to keep the coyotes out of it to help protect the chickens and also keep my pits in. What would you recommend?

15 miles? That's pretty optimistic, isn't it?

The kid that takes that age-old dare(you know the one)is NOT going to thank you later.

One time I though a high powered fence and ever thing went white for a little while I was In kindergarten and learned to never touch one

POWER STRAIGHT FROM THE POWERLINES OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH

What will happen when (not if) you piss on that fence?

My 2 jewels are plenty strong.

Do not climb over an electric fence or your jewels might feel the joules.

Mine is 2 jules on 3 acres of hightensile with pollybraid paddocks inside. It huts if you touch it. Lol Don't get anything less than 1 jule

And always keep your jewels away from the fence

1 joule is 1 watt. Looking for a 1.21 gigajoule. For a friend.

This is what they meant about the family joules

Run the Joules.

What do you recommend for the doorknob?

that's what i tell the ladies

It isnt pronounced "juules", it is "jowles". That man was scottish, not french.

How many Jules do you recommend for cattle

I got two jewels.

5 joules has a yeeeeting distance of 3 feet if anybody’s curious

I heard it as "put you in the ground."

Ok I'm confused I thought Joules was Air pressure cause I have a 11 joule 50 caliber co2 pistol there is no electricity to that gun either

I peed on a 5 as a kid... I was on the ground for some time.

If you want jules,drip water on your ground rod ..and never pee on a wire during a drunk bet.

100 Jules now that’s a fencer

Anything over 6 Joules will cause you to lose track of time.

Don't touch the wire, don't touch the wire, Don't touch the wire. WOW!!! never touch the wire again

Wait, what do I gotta pay attention to?

My pawpaw had a 5 jewles fence sqriles woul climb it a start to cook 😅

5 joules that'll put you on the ground 😂😂😂

That will make your butt smoke😂

You hear that kids the forbidden vape
