    Testyour Nerves (P/E) : Tun Prrlacts Lol Lho Scilmaml

    This document describes a circuit called "Test Your Nerves" that provides a mild shock when a loop is moved over a woven wire. The skill lies in navigating the loop around the wire without touching. If contact is made, a transformer converts the 1.5V battery power into high voltage pulses up to 400V, delivering a noticeable shock. The circuit is housed in a small plastic box with long wires to prevent pulls when shocked. Touching points and twisted connection wires ensure isolation.
