Whats a mag bot
All I can think off is: Lucky guy! You could have gotten killed! That kind
of voltage and capacity can put your heart into fibrilation. Like you
personally experienced , a mag bot with a 160u/330v would take a heck of a
jump but is not recommended for safety reasons.

Today i dismantled a disposable camera and electricuted myself about five
times try to remove the flash. I kept on getting shocked from touching some
part of the camera. I don't know what is was but when i finaly disconected
all the wires I found something that looked liked a huge fucker of a cap. It
said on the side of the cap 330 volts and 160 uf. Does anyone think that
this could be used to make a very fast photovore. I am only very new to beam
and don't understand very much. I would be very appreciative if you people
could reply to this message with some ideas on how I could use this one cap
to make a photovore solarroler or any other type of simple beam robot. No
walkers though please.
