    I have touched the pins on the original flash capacitor when it was half discharged, and I was scared it restarted my heart (it didn’t).

    With this one I’m even more terrified as it has about 4 times the capacity and voltage, so it would be an even more effective defibrillator.

    Also the noise it makes is scary too. It takes a solid minute to charge, and as it does that you can hear a high pitched noise getting higher pitched as the voltage increases. When you finally discharge it, it sounds like a quiet gun shot with echo and everything.
