I think the main problem with electrickery is that AC may get your heart into fibrillation, whereas DC causes severe burning. A heart that is running wild may be easier to get back to normal operation than a heart that is barbequed.

I think it's the current that can really kill you not so much the volts. Static electricity can be hundreds of thousands of volts... But there isn't much current there. Take 4 or 5 amps at almost any voltage and it can pretty easily kill you.

I mean either way I know I should be more careful. I guess what I’m getting at is what are the chances of me accidentally doing any significant harm to myself from a Nixie project? > it is not the Voltage that gets you but the current. !!! dry hands and series resistance can keep the current down to levels that you can survive... -- Charles MacDonald Stittsville Ontario cm...@zeusprune.ca Just Beyond the Fringe No Microsoft Products were used in sending this e-mail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
