I have been thinking about what us HV people have the most of, and my mind went to disposible camera transformers.
So why don't we have a informal contest, with the point of the contest to reduce disposible camera transformers to
cinders. No rules and no power limit. So what do you think, Shall I have pitchforks pointed at me, or praise.

Why not add some value--The part or whole board is destroyed-then mailed to a ring partner who has to identify how, what, and perhaps when it was destroyed. The object would be build a photo essay/ technical discussion of various ways certain actions caused characteristic clues to be left. Heat? electrical arc? overvoltage? liquid imersion, what kind, how long?

Shock us, all you Sherlocks ! Dead parts do talk! Help us find the Blown Joules.

That wasn't what I thought at first, but now that you suggest a contest along those lines, I think that has far more
potential. (By the way, wonderful puns).
