I'm sitting in a Faraday cage getting hit with 4 million volts!!!

I would be very impressed if you were standing there without the cage! Of coarse you would be crunchy and a little bit dead.

Actually that would be cool and I would think a bit scary!:eek:

It was pretty intimidating. It was also majorly fun.

It's at SPARK (formerly the Museum of Radio and Electricity). :biggrin: It was insane. And LOUD!

Hmmm...I recall doing that in B'ham, but I don't remember going to a place called SPARK or Museum of Radio and Electricity. The Faraday must've effected my memory. :tongue:

Oh man, missed photo op from inside the cage! Please share that photo!

While it can take a whopping high voltage to get that arc going the current levels can be embarrassingly low (not like the live wire segment - that's just death waiting). One can gauge how much current is flowing by the strength of the odor from the ozone generated - ozone has a very distinctive smell. I guess you do have to spend some time 'calibrating' your nose ...
