Much more intense than touching your tongue. When I was in school, I had made up a 'zapper' that used the back-emf from a buzzing relay wired to two terminals on the case. You either come up behind them to give them a "suprise" or hand it to anyone and say 'press the button and feel a shock' (great social experiment-but that's a different story). After losing it for a while (some of the more popular guys had "borrowed" it to zap as many others as they could) I managed to get a good sample of what works with different kinds of people. Some would feel it more than others, but one guy was a freak. He couldn't feel it at all. Thought it was faulty, so I tested it on myself- ouch. Even soaked his hands to try to improve conductivity. The worst that happened to him was he said he had a "sour" taste in his mouth- still couldn't feel it though. -- -o) /\\ Message void if penguin violated _\_V Don't mess with the penguin Linux Registered User # 302622 Fido: 3:712/610 BBS/FAX: +61-2-9716-8310 Internet: jt@techniciansyndrome.org -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
