Igniter coil from an oil burner. Kinda heavy but give a good voltage
kick. You can make one of those things from the old monster movies with
them, the thing with the two vertical rods angled a bit to each other,
with the spark traveling up between them. I think they are called a

Model T coils were very good for these type of pranks. They are housed in a
wooden box. Mike

A good capacitor, if left unbridged, will actually pick up a "static charge"
from the atmosphere. Be careful using large ones..
Its still burning after two nights, about 32 hours now.

Wow, I've only worked with electrolytic (and we all know that is an ideal
capacitor ;) and a few of the other small types (ceramic, etc)... neat to
know that 9 years is possible!

Yes. Longer than that. There was a "trick" the instructors at the
Coast Guard avionics school used to do that involved a coil from a
Model A (I think), a hand crank and a large radar capacitor. I never
experienced it but saw some who did. It was reserved for the "smart
asses" of the class.

ask someone who has taken an old TV apart.
i have some big ones in a drawer.
technicians play little jokes on each other by charging them up and
throwing them to unsuspecting coworkers. "think fast"

These shake up flash lights have amazed me and I have labled them an
"interim Find".
A friend and myself declare various stuff as a "Find" if it seems to go
above and beyond. The purple cleaning stuff from Wal Mart was a find many
years ago. Evans waterless coolant works for me but not him. The
