Or maybe they called the fire department on themselves so they would get news coverage because people are like that.

I had that thought too. Maybe the FD came for a neighbors medical issue as well.
I hate the short vids, but not willing to watch the long vid of that one if itās out there lol
I do like the idea though. I love pranks, just ask my annoyed coworkers and bosses.
Instead of a Pi, I used the Arduino Leonardo Pro Micro, basically a small Arduino Leonardo with micro USB port.

Not Pictured, Nice looking neon sign transformer with a well built set of Jacobās Ladder electrodes.
Sometimes nerds have garage sales too, and thatās awesome to find.

Those variables transfer are awesome!
I have one and cherish it greatly 
How hight is that Megger going? And how hard is it to crank? How do you know the break down voltage?
They are awesome tools highly under rated ā¦

To infinity, and beyond!!! Seriously, it says ā
Fairly easy to crank.
The breakdown voltage is indicated by release of āMagic Smokeā. Orā¦ You could check the ohms on the gauge that I just found under the really cool flip up lid.
Itās currently reading high because I cranked it with nothing attached. It is slowly bleeding down. I have the feeling that someday Iām going to go cranking on it, and catch a direct lightning bolt.

I love the flip up cover, so neat.
Looks like 1KV, thanks s enough for most transformer insulation testing 
I didnāt know that those could be used for password recovery!

What about cyborg fast charger?
Keep in mind 500v is a bit light for most applications, 1KV will get you by in most household winding and 5KV will get you covered for just about everything else

Unfortunately, Myth Busted.
You just canāt keep cranking through the spasms. In fact, I may have forgotten a few passwords. And possibly my middle name.

He has a studio in Both Austin and Dallas .

I think he is out of action at the moment for surgery, BUT if you can wait, I would suggest that he is worth waiting for

I really appreciate that! There is a piercer that works at a tattoo shop in Fort Smith that has a few implants (in his head and hands), and I was thinking of asking him where he got them done and go from there. I donāt mind driving to Dallas to get it done though, if need be.

Unfortuneatly, no.
I couldnāt find anyone in Arkansas who would even entertain the idea. So, I traveled to see Pineapple and heās 1000% worth it. Hope he gets better soon.
If you donāt mind, let us know how that turns out. Would love to find more willing and able piercers.
