Clear business - I am not agglomerated to get directly on topload of
the reel :). I think to make "support" of good insulator, to place it
on rather major distance from the reel and her primary circuits. It
will exclude an opportunity of hit of arcs and streamers in primary circuits.
Then to lead a wire from a secondary winding. And secondary circuit, as it
seems
- is rather harmless. I caught by a metal rod (standing on an isolated
seat, certainly)
spark of length about 10см is about 50 % from a gross power of the reel.
Thus any unpleasant (no less than pleasant:) was not.
