My System

well, for what it's worth, when i zapped myself, it was plugged in and running at the time.

i don't think it's capacitive, i think it's just that strong of a step up transformer.

something like 5x the power of a car's ignition coil is what it felt like.
(i say that, because i've been zapped many many times by spark plug wires, and never ever fell limp and went momentarily blind from it.)
