no offense taken crashwg, i just dont want to get an email from joe bagodonuts telling me how he nearly fried himself cause he decided to cut an old extension cord in half and held the bare wire to the probes using both hands while plugging the socket in with his butt cheeks   ;D

Seriously?  I've put much more voltage than that on my tongue before with no ill effects...

Well, at least you can say YOU didn't notice any effects.....which is actually an effect of it right there, but look who I'm trying to explain that to!  The guy who's touching electrical components with his tongue! ;D

I took the full high voltage out of a running monitor once, and it actually wasn't painful at all. It WAS incredibly intense and it froze me for a second, but I never felt a bit of pain.
daywane:
I grabbed a old timing light.
man did that thing put a hurt on me.

My younger brother just kept cranking the motor and my arm was about to pop.

I mean DAG GUM that hurt!!!!

I had 220 toss me across a kitchen once. I will take that any day over what that timing light did to me,

I would have peed if I thought it would help. :)

I'm still laughing about this thread.  That freezing effect is incredible.  Stick a 9v battery on your tongue for a cheap thrill.  Also, about Paigeoliver explaining that he didn't feel pain, I've always been curious what pain really is intended to indicate.  For example, I think pain is there to explain and motivate the healing process.  So, feeling pain afterward would make more sense.  Also, my fiancee studies brain functions and explained yesterday that violent seizures are thought to destroy neurons in the brain because they are uninhibited electrical impulses that actually fry bits of your brain.  Those things don't heal, so no pain, theoretically, at least. 

That said, don't play around with high voltage, although I have a friend who can hang onto high voltage devices and not feel anything but a pulsation, but if he reaches out and touches you, you will get the shock. 

Anyway, just wanted to thank greven grevs for taking the time to explain the power supply hack.  Now, if Jakks would just put a stupid memory chip in that system to store high scores, I might think about buying one for hacking.

Cheers,

KenToad

*Edit -- I see DayWayne felt the pain.  So much for theories.  I must now put down the philosopher's hat and revel in the hilarity.
