Talking Move along now, nothing to see here.

Do not follow this link and whatever you do, do not push the button.

Unfortunately it just loops after 1 or 2 minutes. For the ones that take more than 1/2 second to click just right click the embedded flash program and click "next" to skip it.

Funny, back in the early 80's an Electrical Automation class I attended did just that on the first day there was a box with a red button that said (DO NOT PRESS.)

However, there was a hole in the middle and if fully depressed would allow the head of a pin to come thru and then a capacitor of unknown value would discharge.

(On day 2.)The instructor ask how many of you press the button ? Of course no one said it was them. After a pause he said that will be your first lesson.

I have just got to make one of those. I thought of making a dummy bomb with a count down timer but that is just so much better. Anyone any idea what would be a safe voltage and capacitance?

hi Mike,
Get the inside stack out of a piezo gas lighter, the harder the victim presses
the higher the zap.

Or maybe the inside of an old flash camera.!

Hi eric,

That would work perfectly. I could just leave it there, no power required, fantastic. Like a little booby trap just waiting for it's next victim.
