electrical shock

If you are still breathing, then there is nothing to worry about unless you include George Bush

If there was a flash bulb in the camera the capacitor was probably part of the charging circuit.

No. But you can take this intelegence test to see if your brain has been affected...

Colin

That is wierd.

In article , snipped-for-privacy@vt.edu mentioned...

Yes, you should worry. You made it thru okay this time, but what about the next time?

It is spelled WEIRD.

Nothing to worry about if your heart is okay. Now if it were 50/60 Hz. A.C., you might be getting defibrillated about now.

That as well :)

It is spelled INTELLIGENCE. The Windows philosophy is perhaps best summed up by the instruction: "To shut down your computer, click on the Start button..."

No, "it" is spelled "it".

But perhaps you were referring to the conventional spelling of "weird",
in which case you should have written something like: ""wierd is
conventionally spelled "weird"".

It's the nuances which give the language its flavor, dont'cha know?

that D.C. can cause defibrillation.

OOPS! Should read fibrillation.

And incidentally, modern defibrillators use a big assed monopolar Lown Waveform to STOP the heart from fibrillating.

Don't know about "must", but that's true - I don't pretend otherwise.

What - this morning!

As oppposed to a.c. - which is where we came in. You could hook up an electric drill to one of those air-space caps (as popular in old radios) and beat their patent :-)

btw a pity some abusive lang is creeping about over this. Surely we can all disagree without that.

Dave -

You must not be up on the latest capacitor technology. It was just announced by the I.E.E.E. that there is a new axial lead electrolytic that spins around an axis with a rotational velocity equal to the ac frequency. From its point of view, it is storing dc :-)

Well that one went over my head !

It is a shame, I agree. No matter, DarkMatter has very little gray matter...and that is obvious in his lack of language skills; he also uses a forged header (there is no such domain as thebarattheendof theuniverse.org)

No! First, you pull the plug from the wall part way and jam your tongue into the exposed blades!

It would depend on when the thing was removed from power. It could very well have a charge on it. Also, HV caps BUILD charge all by themselves without a bleeder of some sort.

In any case, the point is that DC can kill just as easily as AC, and ANY remark that makes one sound OK or "safe" is just plain stupid.

"It" referred to the quoted text above it. It is pretty simple to grasp for most.

No. I should have written whatever I felt I wanted to write, and I did.

"cha"? Does that mean that you are CHAD from a voting ballot?
