Lines: 24 The following device is quite harmless and produces the required effect. Purchase a power cube from E.R.G. (Endicott Research Group) or equivalent. The cube must be for 12 volt D.C. input and 180 VAC output. These cubes are typically used for powering the luminescent panels for back-lit LCD's. If you power them from a 9 Volt transistor radio battery they product ~150VAC unloaded. Since the output is very low current there is little danger of serious shock potential. To enable the system use a micro-switch to make contact as required....we fit the entire unit inside a coke can, when lifted the fine wires taped to the exterior of the can produced a nice tingle to the unsuspecting. The best is to drain the can and open the bottom without disturbing the top........then leave it in the fridge. It is cheap to produce....one battery....one cube....and you even get to drink the cola. Have a laugh....Dale disclaimer: I didn't see who did it.......honest.
