How many of you have met the capacitor?

[ACCER1]

I can honestly say we have never met. Is there a particular reason that we should?

I have heard that they can be pretty sparky.

I belive the numbers are only 20% survive the shock. I can however say I am one of them. It felt like someone smashed my hand on the concrete with a sledgehammer and I could hardly move it for about a week.

How on earth did that happen, Chad? There has to be a story there, and a cautionary tale for those of us not wanting to be in the 80%!

Well I was working on a mw on while trying to discharge the cap there was a small tear in grip on the needle nose I was using and it jumped right to me. Does not feel good!!

Does not feel good!!

That is an understatement, I would think! <Shudder> Did you need any kind of medical care?
