Expecting a certain insult my way any moment now...

not quite, tazers pierce skin, in fact if you get hit by a tazer it is better that it would pierce the skin because electrical resistance produces heat, and you will some nasty burnsRagnarok wrote: Wouldn't even begin to recommend what you're suggesting though. If the prongs pierce the skin, you will almost certainly kill someone, because you're then running hundreds of volts through the reasonably conductive blood and other fluids.
Tazers use repeated high voltage pulses, not one sudden untamed discharge, and even then there have been some fatalities.iknowmy3tables wrote:not quite, tazers pierce skin
Not at all, you're falling into a common misconception - you will note that despite my exceptionally high skin resistance, I am not bursting into flames, and that's because there is no current.in fact if you get hit by a tazer it is better that it would pierce the skin because electrical resistance produces heat, and you will some nasty burns

Once did that with 2 meters of foil.rp181 wrote:You can simply layer transperencies and Al Foil. Make sure you leave good clearance from the edges to prevent arc over. I'ts going to have to be fairly large if you want more than a few pf. You can also roll the finished capacitor to make it smaller.

Hmm - You know, I can't think of a single example.
I must have been imagining it.
That would be right if everything stayed the same, but it doesn't. Higher voltage means thicker insulation, and capacitance is exponentially related to the distance. Think of it like gravity, Mass is like the foil.Though on high voltages it should be able to store way more energy.
Especially since the voltage is expressed quadratic in the formula for energy in a capacitor.
E = 1/2*C*U^2
They can hold a charge for a good while longer than that. Can't tell you exactly how long, but they certainly don't lose charge that quickly.jimmy101 wrote:Off hand, I would WAG a photocap as losing perhaps one volt per second when fully charged to 300V.
