[VAC] Re: WAS Mystery Leak
Sorry Tuna, it's the volts that you feel; the amps determine if you are
killed, but you must have the voltage to drive them through what is a
fairly high resistance - you. The spark from the coil is HV - several
thousand volts - with almost no amperage available; that won't kill
you. Yes, I've caught a few, including a 400,000 volt jolt from a Van Der
Graff machine; I jumped straight up, and stayed there. ;-)
