I know some pool installers that run cordless drills underwater.
They don't get shocked.
In Auto-Diesel Vo-tech we used to stick a condenser wire into the spark plug boot
of a GM HEI car. Start the car and use ignition pliers to hold the condenser against
a ground. Then curl the wire with the exposed Stake on near the condenser.
All you needed was a victim that would catch it when you tossed it too them.
10th graders learned that in the first couple weeks.
Hilarious to see the reaction to a 40,000 volt surprise!
We didn't even have to do that. Many moons ago we learned how to use a Sun distributor machine to set dwell and test/modify the mechanical advance. Our teacher would take the condenser out of the distributor and toss it at you. Your natural tendency was to catch it.
I've know more that one person who got zapped by the old Acell Super Coil and bumped their head on the hood when they jumped... 🤣
