ARE YOU KIDDING ME? DOING FRACTAL OUTSIDE, STANDING ON WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY WET CONCRETE SINCE I CAN SEE SNOW ON THE GROUND? AND LATER, I SEE YOU FRACTAL BURNING YOUR NAME WITH NO GLOVES? ARE YOU STILL EVEN ALIVE? SEE MY STORY BELOW AND TAKE HEED, YOU ARE DOING THINGS THAT I SUFFERED FOR, BUT SURVIVED. I am a military trained electrician, (21 years, retired), and spent 30 years in factories, as a electrical maintenance manager and an industrial engineer. I got into this hobby about five years ago, and had a similar setup, save I elevated my platform off the bench with two glued on 2X4's. After time, you get a bit lazy...then maybe cut a few corners. We all say we won't, BUT WE ALL DO. I recently got into fractal burning guitars, and one late afternoon, a bit tired, didn't realize it was still on (and I have an "on" indicator light which had loosened and led me to believe it was off), and touched one probe. The other one literally jumped into my other hand, as the hand was touching the edge of the guitar body. I "Rode the Lightning" for about two seconds until I fell on my right side, heavily bruising my shoulder and hitting my head on the floor. When I hit, I woke up, got up and went into the house and had my wife call 911. Heartrate was 160, and I ended up in a burn center for three days as they monitored my heart, and treated the burns on my hands, which were not that bad. Huge hematoma on my forehead, and a scalp cut on my head where I scraped on a bench nearby. NOT FUN, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES.... Changes I will make:(And so should you if you insist in keeping on) 1. Add two momentary on switches to the incoming 120VAC in a plastic housing. Both have to be pressed to engage the unit. No 120VAC, no burn. Two switches, two hands. 2. My potentiometer, which I use to adjust the voltage, will be next, in a straight line away from me. Adjust before I can press both buttons, which are UL approved to be Open when released. 3. The actual unit on its platform, further away down the line. 4. The probes, with 10K insulated wire, extending to a separate wooden table. 5. Finally, 12K gloves, 1.8MM thick, in case the switches, and the potentiometer all fail and it stays lit. 6. I am standing on 3/4" insulated rubber flooring, the final table will not be on the same rubber. Sound like a lot? 10,000VAC is a lot! I am lucky to be writing this, but this is what I should have done in the first place. Lichtenberg is like nothing else in beauty, and it is highly, highly dangerous. I see people using regular wire, no gloves, machine very near to the work, and I think, there is number 34, waiting to die.... Stay safe.

You should try making a Dragon but make fractal instead of fire!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IS TOO HIGH. DO NOT ATTEMPT!
