    With only 10’000 V? That’s a common Livestock Guardian*. Reaches at most 1 cm.

    * though it probably has enough ampere to kill a cow

      Now if he’d just tossed the stick at it longwise so that it touched several wires at the same time, it might get a result. I’m personally not sure how much a reaction you’d get out of dry wood with 10,000 volts. Stripping the bark off of green stick with definitely be better, or a wet stick. Although if electricity arced through the stick at least it probably wouldn’t kill him because of the amount of resistance that stick has.
