bladesparkI can now become electricity girl! My thumgummy is all assembled, and it works! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I just hook it up and zap! Lots of static!
Dad borroed my 12 volt though. He's using it to power his air horn in his marching band's field show, becuase the car battery he'd been using was waaaay too heavy for the poor drummer carrrying it. (Odd having an air horn in the band. But fun! They have a great show this year. Last year's was lousy...) Anyhow, I've just got it hooked up with the 9 volt instead. All I need is a case for the smaller unit, so I can like loop it from my belt or something. Then I hook up all the bits, and anybody I touch, zap! He he he he.
Though I also wish I knew why the heck the 9 volt arcs a visible blue zap of electricy from the positive lead to the battery case when it's all hooked up. It's like it's grounding excess electricity. (It only does it when the case itself can ground the charge, like say when I'm holding it.) If it were a higher voltage than the thingummy is meant to use, I'd think that at least logical... but it's a /lower/ voltage... so it's odd, and then some... also annoying becuase it means not only do I get zapped whenever I touch anything, but I'm also getting a constant zapzapzap from the battery itself when I pick up the thing... Ah well.
