I had a lamp years ago that had a brass switch that would give a nice pleasant vibration when touching the switch eventually it developed too much bite (240VAC)audioguru said:I think a 120VAC shock in one arm is fun. It vibrates your arm like crazy! :lol:
When I was 5 I stuck a fork in the wall socket and my muscles most certainly contracted, I couldn't let the bloody thing go, I also couldn't breath. It was immense pain, luckily my mother walked past the room a few seconds after insertion and gave my arm a swift kick. Strangely my hand wasn't burned although it was quite red and sore. And of course this incident only increased my interest in all things electricalaudioguru said:I have never been bitten by high voltage DC. They say your muscles contract and you can't let go. I worked with a guy whose arm caught fire when he was working on a live broadcasting transmitter! :shock:
I also bent and grabbed a live soldering iron when I was a teenager, the muscle spasm threw me back over 2 metres and left a severe burn on the palm of my hand.
