It's not the voltage that kills you!

My old night-classes-in-electronics lecturer used to demonstrate this very well; he took an old 12V battery and simply put a wire across the terminals holding the ends of the wire in contact with two insulated pliers.
The red glow turned to white hot and, pretty soon after that, the wire melted.
This was his demonstration of how a fuse fails, thereby performing as per its' purpose and design.
'Elf and safety freaks avert your eyes, but I very much doubt that such great demos of fuses are done in colleges nowadays.
