You know that game everyones played where you have to move a metal hoop along a bendy bit of wire without touching the wire and if you do it makes a buzz - How about a tight metal maze through which you have to navigate - having first charged yourself up on a Van de Graaf (Static Generator).
The
rules are as follows:
1) Object : To get from one end to the other without making a sound (the discharge should be of sufficient strength to cause the player to scream).
2) Once you start you must keep trying untill you complete it.
3) 1st attempt requires a 1 min charge, 2nd 2mins, 3rd 3mins etc.
4) If you should be rendered unconscious - each player is entitled to slap you in turn untill you wake.
5) Someone with long hair must participate : see : http://www.amasci.com/emotor/bill3.jpg

When I was a kid, they kinda Baked this at the local public library - nylon carpets, metal book racks. No van der Graaf generators, but the sparks flew if you didn't keep well back from the railings, the shelves and other people. |

I was liking this up until the 'enough voltage to make you scream' bit. Howabout a joy-buzzer type technology that simply vibrates? |
|
| |
That would be no fun - where's the risk? |
|

excellent way to paint the ceiling though |

[Hunter] are you the man in the photo? |

If so, please please please lose the comb-over. |

No - but I could pretend to be - snip snip - happy? |

(2) Connect hairspray can to the negative terminal at the base |
|
| |
(3) Connect bloke to Van de Graaf |
|
| |
(4) Spray hairspray on hair; oppositely-charged nature of hair and spray particles will economise on both hairspray and CFCs |
