Interesting. I was looking for some documentation around persistent damage o injury caused by these devices. I realize that people are injured/die from 120/220 mains frequently, and the primary on the coils i have worked with are moving something like 2kA, which is obviously dangerous.
I guess I was mainly curious if people have been injured by sparks/streamers from secondaries. I don't ask this question lightly, and I am aware of the notional dangers, but I am really presently looking for some tangible/documented events.
Im not sure of any documented events, but i believe its proven that it will damage nerves even if you "dont feel" it.
Some people are brave enough to touch their streamers, but typically only on low powered coils. In other words, you have to know what you are doing to be safe.
I think there are enough studies done to prove the danger.
