This week's question is to the point.

Have you ever been shocked by a capacitor discharging?

Yes - small capacitor
Yes - larger unit - quite serious
No

This is a good one for stories!

When I was young, my older brother had an electronics kit that we used to torture our sister. Touch her while touching the charged cap and watch her jump. Guy in the middle feels the shock at both ends, so yes. Like delivering a static shock, but higher tech. :twisted:
