and those with old style points with a capacitor can charge the capacitor on
the elecrtic fence unit before they go ...
simply use the capacitor to lead both strands of wire ... when ground is
made watch the dance
for those who want to try this at home .. hold c connector of capacitor on
one lead from fencer ... and the metal body against the other lead
let it blip three times ...
then hand it to someone else to hold ...
when they touch body and connector in their hand .. ZAP
please do not let persons with pacemakers or other infirmities try this as
it may be dangerous
those of you who didnt like the bear pics will llikely find this to be
distasteful to try at home
yours
