-**This demonstration involves high voltage.** It's very easy to get some quite unpleasant shocks from this demo so take caution. Short the electrodes together immediately before you touch the machine at all times. Additionally,​ take caution when setting the electrode distance. If the electrodes are left very far apart, it's not known how dangerously ​high the potential can get. Since it's a very small amount of charge at a very high potential we don't know exactly how dangerous this is, but you wouldn'​t want to find out first-hand.+**This demonstration involves high voltage.** It's very easy to get some quite unpleasant shocks from this demo so take caution. Short the electrodes together immediately before you touch the machine at all times. Additionally,​ take caution when setting the electrode distance. If the electrodes are left very far apart, it's not known how high the potential can get. Quite likely, much too high.
