	The following device is quite harmless and produces the
required effect.

	Purchase a power cube from E.R.G. (Endicott Research Group)
or equivalent. The cube must be for 12 volt D.C. input and 180 VAC
output. These cubes are typically used for powering the luminescent
panels for back-lit LCD's. If you power them from a 9 Volt transistor
radio battery they product ~150VAC unloaded. Since the output is very
low current there is little danger of serious shock potential.

	To enable the system use a micro-switch to make contact as
required....we fit the entire unit inside a coke can, when lifted the
fine wires taped to the exterior of the can produced a nice tingle to
the unsuspecting. The best is to drain the can and open the bottom
without disturbing the top........then leave it in the fridge.

	It is cheap to produce....one battery....one cube....and
you even get to drink the cola.

Have a laugh....Dale 


disclaimer: I didn't see who did it.......honest.
