"(It acts like one HUGE capacitor at oh, about 15-25,000 volts!)" I can vouch for the gravity of that charge. I have an uncle who likes to repair TV's in his spare time. When he had first started, not having the respect for this that he should have, he pulled the HV lead off of a tube that had been sitting unplugged for a week. He woke up some time later 10ft away. That's some power to throw him that far he's a big man (6'6" and about 350lbs.)
