No, I don't imagine you would.
Nor will I try to figure out why a cheap pocket camera with a built in flash won't work, but that took two lessons. I don't know how many volts the capacitor that fires the flash builds up to but it's enough to make the camera fly across the room.
The landing was rough. There was going to be no fixin' of this camera any time soon. So, since I discharged the flash I figured there would be no harm in digging in a little deeper and maybe getting the entire flash unit out to play with.
Well, either I didn't totally discharge the capacitor or something re-charged it and I got nailed again and just as before, the camera goes flying across the room.
It felt like a good stiff 120 volt shock, but I think that particular flash tube took at least 300 to fire. The amazing part is the shock was created using 2 AAA batteries as a source of power.
If I told the story that went along with every shock I have ever got, I could write a book. As for voltage needed to shock, I have got shocked by car batteries. Not the coil, the 12 volt battery. All it takes is a hot, humid, sticky day where you lay your dirty, sweaty arm on the car somewhere there is bare metal and then put a wrench to the positive post.
