To see if it could be done and along the way to find out how not to do it.


Reminds me of a friend of mine. He was making a laser, using part of a
car ignition system to generate high voltages. One evening he managed to
put 35kV up his arm, an experience he later described as 'interesting'.
He took care not to do it again, though.


A friend, eh? Q?
