:wavey: moved my hand near a spark plug wire and got shocked in lab today. Some idiot poked a hole in the wire and it arched a nice blue shock to my hand. It was numb for about 10 seconds then it was ok.

I thought spark plugs were much higher than 12 volts... to make it create a large spark..?

I licked an AC-DC adapter because I didn't know if it was working.

I had a houses 120V system go jolting through my body. I involuntarily screamed. It was great. Another great time was on my parents sand-rail and the wire wasn't seated right so I pushed down on the wire (holding the rubber boot as well as the rubber cable) and I got a nice schock through my right arm.

ahhh....nice memorable moments.

Spark plug wires carry more than 12 volts. It's more like 10,000 volts. h: Low amperage though.
