about 20 seconds ago, i just got zapped while messing with the nozzle (where 
the air passes) of my spark gap.  i just felt a sting on the area that got 
hit.

Here are the details:
1. i was sort of "ungrounded", because i was wearing slippers.  did this 
limit the current passing through me?

2. i am sort of........ ahem,..... heavyset. did this allow my body take the 
shock?

3. transformer frequency is 20kHz

4. current is 20mA

5. the transformer's input is supposed to be 220V, but i only have 120V plug 
thingies in my house.  i guess this lowers the output voltage...

6. the spark gap was firing at the time i was zapped, so i guess most of the 
electrons were busy jumping the gap, therefore only a few were available to 
zap me right?




P.S.- does this mean that i now have a carbon track running from my index 
finger knuckle thingie to my foot?

           will i get any special powers?           lol
