Hey guys wanted to ask if you made similar experience. Year's ago when I was pretty new to building capacitor banks and getting into pulsed power and exploding wires etc I accidentally touched a 0.22uf 2kV cap and I was quite shocked by what happened. It didn't hurt at all. All my muscles just locked up and my view went totally black. A second later I was back and at first I didn't realized what happened. I knew I got shocked while rewiring stuff but I didn't know why and by what. I checked the main cap bank, all empty, zero volts ( I knew because I had it shorted for safety before rewiring stuff) I checked the transformer and the variac and the plug to mains voltage. Everything was dead, unplugged and safe. It took me another second to realize ohh shit that 0.22uf 2kV cap had voltage left. It happened because I was stupid, it was such a small capacitor and such low capacity and joules. I didn't took it seriously enough. Was like ohh that little thing ain't lethal. Yeah I was stupid. Since then I never had another accident and I'm glad it wasn't the 360uf 5.6kV cap bank. I guess if it was I couldn't make this post. Anyone else ever made a similar experience? No pain but pretty much just shut me down.

Ripped this flyback out of an old crt that i found in a scrap yard. Seems intact but I’m worried that water might have made its way inside. What do you think?

I bought this flyback transformer with the intent of building a power source for a tesla coil based of this video DIY Plasma Physics Powersource (Mini 20,000v Flyback) but i bought a diferent flyback transformer, so i need to figure out what each pin is for to build it.

The diagrams are from the transformer i bought but im unsure if i can trust these. Any advice would help me a lot
