    This is kind of a dumb comment to make on a public site. You saying it is basically safe is retarded. You are not mentioning the type shoes, floor, carpet etc., etc. you used or transformer. Kids read this stuff daily and of course like all of us want to build these too. Suppose they read your comment and built one with a microwave transformer... or someone doesn't have the insulation you had when you touched a lead. Dumb comment.

    If you cover the ladder, make sure that air can get into and out of the cover as O3 (ozone) will be created and will damage the components

    I know now. I didn't know that at the time, the 12,000 volts was only 6,000 volts and I was getting 3,000 volts from the one leg. Even then, I was very fortunate to be standing on a very thick rubber mat. With what I know now, I realize I was putting my life in danger. I would never do something like that today.

  • Cool video. But ...

    Cool video. But I've always preferred traditional 60hz core and coil neon transformers. They seem to last a lot longer than solid state. Or are straight AC NSTs hard to find in the UK?

  • Andyman3k, I know ...

    Andyman3k, I know your comment is old...but I just wanted to say that even touching one high voltage lead is extremely dangerous...you're forgetting that you still have a voltage gradient with the ground! The current can pass between your hand and feet, which might still go through your heart! You'd better be standing on something well insulated. That's like playing Russian roulette.

    where do you get a solid state NST from? I've never heard of those...
