High Voltage Funny Stuff

Hi all

I just bought 70 assorted camera flash modules for $1.00 and I really only need about 10 so I was just wondering if enyone knew anything I could do with them? (within reason people Razz )

They all have big flash capasitors on the boards (some are still charged Embarassed ) and some even have the flash bulb aswell

anyone know what sort of mischef I can get up to?

Thanks

Try licking one! It's a once in a life time experience Laughing

I remember Brett and Rick build a robot many years ago that used Capcitors as explosives (reverse polarity) to drive a projectile out the end of a barrel like a cannon... Maybe you could try the same Cool
