240 Volts flash battery
I was looking on this old catalogue: http://www.cameramanuals.org/booklet...ographic_1.pdf
They mention at page 11 240 Volts batteries for flash units. Well, I heard about 90 Volts battiers for anodic current but 240 Volts... or there is a mistake? |
Not a mistake:
https://www.google.com/search?q=240+...Jq0TMxvCiMnmM: they also made a 510 volt flash battery: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...olts-433794014 not affiliated, jr |
:D Good thing I don't have one of those , I'd be double dog daring people to check it with their tongue like a 9 volt :D

But how in the world did they managed to put so much voltage into such small thing?

But still more than enough to give you a nasty bite anywhere on your body.
If you want even more volts from a battery then you want a Zamboni Pile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamboni_pile The available current is minute. |

My father was a photographer and he used a lot of 510 volt batteries. He's been shocked by them and they do have one heck of a kick. BTW, there was another story where static electricity caused a flashbulb to go off .... in the palm of his hand. He had 3rd degree burns IIRC.

Seems it's a good ideea to grab the flashbulb by the glass.
