  • That thing shocked me like hell, when i was servicing one photoflash..

  • If you want a real bang strap it across AC. (wear eye protection)

  • I did that with my finger once. Och, don't do it!

  • I've been zapped by one of these at about 600 volts before. It's not fun.

  • weak

  • @MrThomassss What would happen if I charged my 330v ~4mF capacitor bank to 300v and put a piece of wire across it?

  • i have that exact power supply, but in black

  • i discharged a 550µF cap at 350v :D that was so loud that i can´t hear anything for a few time.

  • cool
