https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUL5...ature=youtu.be When I was about 13 years old, my buddies and I were exploring the local woods. We came to the chain link fence boundary of a hunting preserve. It had a wire running along the top of the fence. One guy picked up a branch and touched the wire with it. He felt a strong electric tingling. Being 13, we all ended up trying that. Then one guy found a metal pipe and tried touching the wire with that. The reaction was much, much different. Nobody felt an urge to repeat that experiment. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Leaning over a car in the rain holding a plug wire to check spark is equally attention-grabbing. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Once was enough to make me take care in the rest of my time prototyping high tension gear.

A chap I worked with at one period once stated that he had paid someone to urinate on the spark plugs of a running engine. He said that it provided a very visible indication of whether the ignition system was operating :-) At the time I commented that it probably gave some sort of indication of the level of electrical knowledge in the general public :-) -- Cheers, John B. |
