Default Re: Ridiculous thoughts and ideas from a young age

When I was a lad in the 1930s/40s, my uncle (G3QQ) gave me a few old iron-cored transformers and chokes to “play with”. I tested the windings with the aid of a cycle-lamp battery and a bulb, with the results that you can imagine. At the time, I just could not understand how I could get such nasty shocks from a 3V battery.
