Flybackers, All:

The burns don't come from the RF nearly as much as they come from the 
glowing, purple plasma.

You'd have to have one heck of a flyback driver, at a low output voltage, to 
get a real live RF burn. But they both feel pretty much the same. (ow that 
hurts)

Watch the internal diodes in your flybacks, guys. HVAC is one thing, HVDC is 
quite another. Although they're both highly painful to come in contact with, 
HVDC will charge up the internal capacitance of the flyback itself and can 
*really* hurt. I can't stand even small static shocks off a secondary 
coil......I don't know about y'all.

Take care,
