High Voltage Sparks from a Computer Monitor

This makes for fun in itself or as a nice, cheap, and easy power supply for high voltage experiments. This monitor was able to gap about 1.5 inches.

Well if the current didn't kill you it could still shock you bad and send your hand into some of those sharp sheetmetal shields.

yo gintaras, im having a problem with your equation there bub. 10 amps at 12 v is 120w not 20 and WhereTF did 28000 come from? and what's this tv in, a car? solar powered? me no understand. you might not want to mess with electrons in motion bro. peace

I mean 120, missed "1" 120 is how much watt you got and 28000 is the volts transformer outputs so 120 / 28000 = the amount of amps transformer outputs.

If TV is running on somewhere around 10 amps and 12 volts (10 x 12 = 20 watts / 28000 = 0.004 amps) thats not even enough to kill a person (0.16 amps or greater)

only enough to really piss your heart off but not kill you remember some stun guns are 50kv or better shitloads of pressure (voltage) but small pathway (current) aka amperage as far as major burns and losing limbs baloney

Even if amperage is high, above 100, the current must still pass thrue your heart or brain in order to cause death so if you work with 1 hand the worst thing that can happend is your hand will get darker and smell like chicken.

dude you could have one of your hands stuck up your butt with a hot glove on but if there is a straight enough path- (i.e) extended arm to the side or above-and your blub-blub is in route well nighty night i hear knitting is a good hobby
