Different motors have different coils. Mercury outboards have voltage five times other motors. Getting caught by one will bring you to your knees.
Sounds like getting by those 27" CRT that I forgot to discharge before touching. 40KV hurts.

The flash lamp power supply in the xerox machine like in the movie 9 to 5 has 4 capacitors that are measured in farads. Not microfarads. Fed by 50 amp 240v. A service rep did a dumbass and got a hand across it and it fires at 3 times a second. He retired with disability because he destroyed the nerves in his hand. the capacitirs are 6 inches in diameter and 18 inches tall with 1/2" lugs for connection. Fires an arc through 4 one foot long xenon flash tubes.
