Hi all

Bit of a dumb question... but here I go...

TCs operate at high frequencies... so the electrical impulses are not able
to be felt by nervous system. The current output of corona is not high
enough to cause your heart to do... wierd stuff. Theoretically could you
take arcs from a TC to a metal object in your hand, as long as you weren't
grounded... yes? I say this because obviously a power arc (complete topload
capacitor discharge) will kill you... but will the pansy liitle air
streamers do the same thing? My theory would lead me to believe not.. but I
dont really wanna try it out :)
