OMG—can’t stop cackling!
Ping or zap!
In high school we had a 15,000-volt center-tapped transformer from a high-voltage transmitter rig we took apart.
So of course, we were playing Jacob’s ladder. And unfortunately, we did not pay attention to the center-tap wire, which was dangling off the table.
I ended up knocked into the cabinets on the other side of the radio room, when the charge jumped too the table leg, then over to a trash can, and then into my leg.
Ah, the good old days......
Still can’t decide between the original post or DBP’s for the top spot.
It is the mental images that do it. :)
