Ooch - I did my electronics training in a major hospital Biomedical Engineering DEpt.
The defibrillator is a bloody big cap which is discharged Via a vaccuum relay, thru a pulse shaping inductor into the patient.
I was working on on day with the cap at full charge - I remember the test probe slip but not much after that until I found myself in the corner where the walls met the floor about 8 foot from my work bench.
Cheers,
Ian

1957 RCA film

Postby EWBrown » Fri Aug 29, 2014 6:12 pm

Flash back to 1957, RCA hi-fi / stereo promo:

It's a big long (nearly 15 minutes) , and it played havoc with my ADD, but there are some amusing moments here and there:
