Well, here comes my high school electronics "lessons".
1. Steel wool connected to a car battery via heavy jumper leads.
2. Car battery connected to radio-type slug-type inductors (enamel
goes up in smoke).
3. NE-2 connected to 120vac without series resistor (watch for flying
glass, keep it at a safe distance).
4. Old, non-fuctional vacuum tubes fired from a sling shot.
Disclaimer: HP doesn't promote this stuff. Smart people are cautious
playing like this and don't get within close range of
obviously exploding and flying objects. Don't put your
hand on the stove burner, it burns, etc, etc.
Warning: Life can cause death, most accidents occur
around the home, there homes should be outlawed.
