In art class I was shocking people with one of the solder points on a disassembled disposable camera, when suddenly I touched the "wrong" spot, well I browned out went stiff as a board and when my eyes opened I was on the ground and felt like I had been kicked in the chest... funny as hell, everyone of the 30 people in class was watching...

We always shock each other with charged camera caps at school. Of course, around here, most of us are farmers, and the people that catch them rarely ever do more than twitch a little where they get hit. I should try that on city people some time, it sounds like it's pretty fun :lol:

How about in an airplane you hook one to the metal toilet seat so that when you sit down it compleats the circuit discharging the capacitor right into your butt. That would suck sooo bad.

They're really no joke. An old person/ ill person could have a heart attack.

One story a guy wrote where he got legal charges because he brought a capacitor project to school and his teacher shocked himself and he got arrested for it!!!

BTW, I like the the story the guy wrote (instructables?) where he shocked himself then picked up the camera several more times (dummy) trying to throw it out. Then he wrote "Hope a homeless person going through my trash didn't find it" I LOL'd that one! :lol: 8)
