I was messing with this mini motorcycle thing today (some of the guys on the irc have heard about it :P) and the cap+start cord that was on it fell off. I guess either vibrations or the action of pull starting loosened it, uncovering this: Hehe, that is connected straight to the engine, and guess what sits right there? My leg :).
(if you dont like blood, well you get the picture)
And a redneck bandage for the moment :P. Just to keep blood on the floor to a minimum.
Doesn't hurt/didn't hurt, and i can walk just fine :P. Me thinks the 10 or so cuts need stitches though. Thats gonna cost :/

@ Arcstarter: ouch
So yesterday I went to Hamex 2009, took some random photos and got some random loot:
An oldschool HP DSO/signal analyzer with a CRT touch screen.... wish I had the cash for that. And yes, that is a floppy drive slot on the right hand side.
Catch of the day: a 572B for $5, filament tested good, no shorts
Also picked up a $2 trashed traffic camera board (flash tube and caps still good), and 2x 35V 21500uF, 1x 65V 25000uF capacitors for $10. Also a 10A EMI filter for $1.
Parents also randomly gave me a radio scanner, and a cordless drill (dead battery, motor still good and salvagable).
Top: my scanner Bottom: parents scanner
I've managed to pick up some 2m and 70cm ham on it along with various commercial traffic, fun stuff

Here's a 4HV first, the beginning of an arc at the bottom of a jacobs ladder taken at 1200fps. You can see the arc starts by jumping from the 10 megohm center wire to the 2 main rails of the ladder.

A video of the arc going out can be seen here
what did you take that with? I have tried to use the 100FPS mode on my Casio EX-FH20, but the resolution is pretty low, lower than that of yours, so it was not a very good image - I plan to retry at some point though, know that I have more experience with the camera (and since I have access to the school power supplies, which are more consistent to use)....
