In talks on HV Power Supplies, I pass around a back-to-back MHV adapter
with MHV plugged into one side, BNC into the other. Nothing beats
hands-on learning.

The only fool required was the one who designed MHV. MHV plugs cannot
be inserted into BNC jacks, but the MHV jack does allow insertion of a
BNC plug. Duh...

Those are the next samples to be passed around.

Well, certainly something gross...
