Henry,
You think I might be shell shocked? I don't know why anymore, but that loud
crack just makes me jump out of my skin. The only thing I can think of is just
hearing it so many times. Funny thing is, I can shoot a gun at target practice
all day long, and it dont bother me in the least bit! But really, I think
there's a difference in the sound, I'm not sure.
This discharger I made, when using it, you dont hear nothing. Of course that's
due to the resistors discharging the load to where the relay can handle a small
amount. Plus, the voltmeter allows me to be sure it's discharged. When I made
that, I said then it had to be one of the best projects I ever built.
Best,
Will
