This is why we get dumber and genetically weaker. There is no more natural selection...:shake:

The ESD that can damage electronic components you won't feel it.

[RacerX]

That's why I'm surrounded by anti ESD matts on the floors, all benches, etc. Winter is the worst too. That guy is still a jackwagon though. ;)

25kV .... he needs to up the amps for a real thrill. :D

LOL, I believe this was planned but it was funny... Course he did draw a nice arc to his finger, I'd have said *hit as well...

I've gotten into the 27Kv 2nd anode voltage to the picture tube in tube type color TVs more than a few times... Those would arc a couple inches and bite hard, worse than any coil or plug wire I've gotten friendly with that supposedly made higher voltage...

277 volt line is fun. :depress: Kicked me a few feet back, felt like Jesus slapped me.

Yeah I don't doubt that, luckily I've never had the ummm, pleasure...

Commercial 277v can be real nasty, everything else is likely to be at ground potential... At least in home circuits each leg of the 240v is referenced to neutral/ground, more likely than not you'll get a 120v jolt...
