If you want to really have some fun, open up a big theater arc lamp. I work as a EE these days, with a guy who's in the theater/event/awesome lighting industry. He's just about fearless.

Except that he's afraid of the arc lamp drivers in his products. Coke can-sized kilovolt capacitors are nothing to mess around with, even if you are nearly fearless....
