[Yo-Yo]

One of life’s other simple pleasures as an Airman in tech school was charging up a 100 VDC 470mF cap, then tossing it at an unsuspecting buddy for him to catch barehanded...

During the Disco Era (or error), I built neon dancefloors and lighting and sound for discos. We made these strobe lights that used the landing strobes from 747s. The chassis had two 660 volt, oil-filled can caps. The caps were the easiest thing to grab to lift the bare chassis. I forgot to put the bleeder circuit on a chassis, grabbed the cans to move it to another bench, and got ZAPPED! All my limbs straightened out with such force, that I threw the chassis into the block wall and almost folded it in half. I was propelled across the room in the opposite direction! Had a headache for a few days! Course, I was also the four year old who stuck his fingers in a wall socket. Electricity really doesn’t bother me anymore. I seem to have developed immunity!
