Science Behind Pikachu's Thunderbolt explained !!

When i was a lil kid back in early 20's and pokemon was my fav toon at that time. I was younger then i want my own pokemons like Ash but then i was told these are imaginary toons they don't exist in real life. 
but some how can this be possible the thunderbolt attack of pikachu makes any sense ?
the answer is yes even there are some creature's in nature that show similarity to it.



Q.Why pikachu don't get electrocuted ?? 


Q. How pikachu manage to produce such large amount of current?

Pikachu performing Thunderbolt


Let's leave pikachu for a while and concentrate on a creature that exist in real life and performs thunderbolt by itself i am talking about the electric eel

The question's are same ? How ?


this topic is now going to be explained by The concept of electrical circuit, so let's do some physics

Electric eel in Amazon





Some data's

1.Electrical eel's are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques which are physiological emf devices.

2. Each electroplaque has an emf of 0.15V & internal resistance (r) of 0.25 ohm

3.The water surrounding it has an resistance R = 800 ohm

4.The body of eel have 5000+ rows and 100+ column 140 in this case



As you see it is making itself a circuit.

Total emf of the row

Emf (E) = 5000X0.15V =750V

The total resistance along the row is the sum of the internal resistance of 5000 electroplaques

R(row) = 5000X0.25ohm = 1250ohm

Now the total resistance between  the tail &head is
Now circuit in parallel
R(eq) = 140/R(row) = 1250/140 = 8.93 ohm

now applying Kirchhoff's second law of close loop counter clockwise to find the current produced

1.E(row) - iR(water) - iR(eq) = 0

i = E(row)/R(water) + R(eq) = 750/800=8.93 = 0.93 A


This much overall current is generated by eel !!!!


since all the rows are identical, the current into and out is eventually divided among them 

i(row) = i/140 = 0.927/140 = 0.0066 A

2.which is very feeble current hence the eel don't feel any kind of shock itself.
the same concept can be applied in case of pikachu small pores generate current from identicals row's which get summed into massive thunderbolt.

guys i tried my level best to explain this so if you find it hard you need a good concept of kirchhoff's law and circuit i will create a pdf on it to explain you all in details soon.
