Low voltage perhaps but plenty of amps. Do not stick your damp finger in there to wipe it dry ! At least not while riding. In the garage it could be funny if there's witnesses and a camera.
I'll take that challenge, bring the camera.
I work with high voltage -- 5 million volts RF and up to 10 million volts DC, I believe that puts me in the arena. Last week resulted in a little smoking hole in my left hand caused by 300 VDC, this morning's carelessness resulted in two entry burns and two exit burns from 500 VDC. It's part of the job, when circuits don't work right sometimes high volts show up where you least expect it. It's even harder on the lab equipment.
Due to the resistance of skin, you may not feel DC voltages in the 60 volts DC range but 60 VAC will definitely get your attention. As the AC frequency goes up so does the pain for any given voltage level; 60 VAC at 60 cycles hurts, 60 VAC at 1,000 cycles hurts much worse.
I have had a tech get hit in the metal frame of his glasses with 160,000 VDC, the voltage ran down his face, across his body from one side to the other, then exit just above the hip. It cooked parts of his internal organs as it passed through. OUCH! It took him almost a year to recover. A few years ago I worked with an engineer that got across 2,000 VDC. It knocked him backward out of his chair resulting in broken vertebra in his neck. They had to take pieces from his hip bone and whittle it into shims that got inserted in his neck vertebra via the front of his neck.
When I tell you 12 VDC at 1,000,000 amps is safe to touch, trust me. Now, on to the output from the coils... :evilsmiley03:
