We used to have 220V capacitors that we'd charge (from a 220V European socket) and then zap people and things with it. We were in 6th grade or so.
Not that it's all that bad, but certainly beats a 9V battery. Those capacitors hurt.

How do you charge a capacitor with AC without a diode?

I remember we were sticking the prongs of capacitors right into the wall socket and then discharged them on people and metal things.

Hmmm.
Sorry but I don't see this working.
I see either a non-polarized cap not charging because every time it did charge, it would be discharged when the polarity switches.
Or, a polarized cap exploding.
opcorn:Unless you got lucky and pulled it out just at the right time, but chances of it being even close to fully charged ever are slim to none.
Perhaps its a good thing, because depending on the size cap that could really hurt or kill someone.
The caps in the amplifiers I built total at 66,000uf @ 70V. If my math is right, they store 40 joules. They can, depending on what point you turn them on draw up to 400A @ 170V PP from a wall outlet for a split second. This is because I do not have a soft-start circuit in them.
The two large computer grade Mallory brand capacitors are the size of soda cans.
This is one of them if you've never seen them before. They bolt into the back of a pair of speakers I have, one each.

No arguments here - not sure how these things work; have no knowledge there. I do remember two ponged ends going into what looked like a capacitor, which was about the size of a matchbox (real matchbox, not the papery crap). Do remember sticking them into a socket and then to metal things.

Can you handle this Eric? Honestly the Z-34/22 and Z-30/20 rigs are not that bad unless you max them out and then get rough with the controls.
I wish I had taken a few pictures when I was in the 80 and 125 rigs at Marathon oil. The 80 footer was my work home for a couple weeks.

Dude,
I know you live in Detroit and all but can you at least get a modern phone with a decent camera so we can actually look at some decent pictures.

Hell no. I have one more of the same phone as a spare that I still have to use up before a new one. I have been using the current one for about 3 years. Lighting is almost never good for pictures on job sites. Also have to sneak them in as cameras are prohibited on most jobs.
It was a great camera when the Galaxy S came out.

Oh god, I miss my LS2 GTO all of a sudden.
A neighbor had a gues come visit and the guy pulls up in a nice, clean LS2 GTO.
Wilwood big brake set up, nice agressive cams, SLP exhaust with an X pipe, a bunch of other goodies by the sounds of it.
Oh how I miss mine all of the sudden.

I have been using the current one for about 3 years. The previous one suffered an external speaker issue that resulted in it no longer being used as a phone. Makes a great MP3 player though. I have one more as a back up that last I checked worked great. I just have to find it again.
I have tried newer phones a couple of times, but ended up back with the Captivate due to how well it has worked for me. The newer ones had battery issues and one had a display shatter under the glass. The glass was fine though.

My HTC one takes perfectly good pictures in those light conditions.
This picture is in my basement with a single 60W lamp a few feet behind me, no flash.
The HTC has a 4MP camera, but the sensor is huge so it does well in low light conditions. Notice the good detail and low noise over by the water heater even though it's very dimly lit.

I saw today that the iPhone 6 was released. One with a 4.7" scrren and the other with a 5.5" screen, which is the same size as my note 2. Finally apple figured out that big phones have purpose. I have an iPhone 5 for work and I hate how small the 4" screen is compared to 5.5.
