[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. ;-)
