BillyVance 34 #51 June 22, 2007 Quote What is an electric 8-way? Surely you can do a search for it. Electrical plug with separated wires, plugged in with the two wires apart from each other. two people grab a wire without touching each other, then 6 more people join in a circle, leaving one grip open. Last grip closes, and you have your electric 8 way."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,412 #52 June 22, 2007 Quote You know, guys, there are much safer ways to do this than by using 120VAC! You are trying to interfere with Darwin's plan. First time I was at a party and saw an electric 8-way, I was dumbfounded at the idiocy of it.

ryoder 1,412 #57 June 22, 2007 An 8-way round with one of the grips replaced by the bare ends of a lamp cord plugged into the wall. Or alternatively, think of it as a 9-way round composed of 8 fools and a wall socket."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

It's there to keep the cats out, but it makes a fun party toy too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skiskyrock 0 #62 June 23, 2007 Quote It is the current that kills ya I have been working with neon for years I have been hit by 15,000 volts from a neon transformer a few times it gives a kick but the amperage is really low (30ma) maybe that's why I enjoy Spence's electric ways so much I have been training for years My father used to own a TV repair business, and he had mirrors in the shop so he could watch what was happening to the picture while he made adjustments around the back of the TV. I was in my late teens and I was doing some work one day and didn't have a mirror handy, but I figured I could just watch from the front and reach around back and grab the BZZZT ZAPPPP flyback transformer BZZZT ZAPPPP. I regained conciousness about five minutes later sitting against the far wall of the shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
