I once built a large rolled cap, about 40nF 5KV, discharged it with a screw
driver after first use, did not use it for a few weeks, picked it up by the
2 copper pipes which I used as electrodes, next thing I knew I was on the
floor unable to get up for about 20mins. needless to say don't ever take
anything for granted!
Safe coiling to you all!
