Museum Offers Chance to Get MegaZapped

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 10 October 2012 7:30 AM

Want to experience “4 million volts of electricity coming at you while you sit in a metal cage?” (My answer: no.) The Seattle Times says the Spark Museum of Electrical Invention has finally got its megazapper up and running. Organizers say the exhibit was a hard sell to their insurance company, but it was finally approved. The electricity doesn’t enter the cage, just rolls along the metal, illustrating why it’s safer to stay in a car during a lightning storm.
