Did you ever set up a Jacobs ladder? I got in trouble with the villagers when I blacked out all their televisions during coronation street.

We took an 11kV switchboard out, the company wouldn’t let me buy one of the 11/.11kV VT’s. Rotten spoilsports!

Hi Tony,

Most certainly did!! i used two gas welding rods in a bit of a "V" shape.. Looked very interesting, but was a bit dangerous to use as an ornament!!

When i was a kid i wired up a motorbike ignition coil on a wooden board and used to go around electrocuting people with it!! Used to connect it to the television aerial too, also in an attempt to create havoc!!

i used to connect it to the incoming telephone line too. No idea what efect it had back at the exchange!!!

john..

Ever straddled an electric fence?

I had a mate who pee'd on one in the dark, we never knew his voice could go that high, his scream could've shattered glass.
