We don't need to observe no stinkin' polarity.
We used to do that for fun in my old shop. That and see how much voltage DC motors from old VCR's and tape players would take and how fast they would go before they would burn and seize up.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that did that :)Originally Posted by N2KKM

Station powered by atomic energy, operator powered by natural gas.
Used to do that in my HS electronics class. Wonder if they still have those classes in HS. I got 5/17 credits that way (and two more in photography), but my english ain't too good. Them was the days.
Used to do that in auto shop, too.

Supposedly true story on those lines...
Back in the 1930's the students who operated the Penn State College (they weren't a University yet) amateur station, W8YA, were not permitted to slouch in their seats when operating. Allegedly, the station director, Gil Crosley (who actually held W8YA as a secondary call, that's another story) had all the operating chairs rigged with a charged capacitor, so that if you sat back too far... ZAP right in the gluteus maximus.
Now... sometime during this period, Penn State hosted the ARRL Atlantic Division convention. A lot of amateurs from around the region came, many with their spouses. Allegedly, during one of the many tours of the station, the EE department, & the related college facilities, the wife of one prominent amateur was bored and getting very tired. So when they got to the shack, and she saw the comfortable operating chairs, without further ado she sat right down, and then leaned back to relax...
The capacitors were permanently removed the next day.
