Basically all I saw I got to see is what was left of his "lesson". I was the class that met after it happened and he lectured us about it and actually tried to do it again but it wasn't accepting the charge.As to where he got the cap, I have no idea. I know he salvaged it from something he had dismatled. And this teacher loved to cannibalize whatever electronic he could find, this included one of the very very old computers that took up a entire room. I guess it yielded quite a few large capacity caps and this is one guess of where they could have come from. Again, I am not sure.I do know that AC is a lot more lethal than DC. Thomas Edison went for years making that point. At the worst, the cap probably could give you some burns.</blockquote>
