Found a small AC motor and am scared to touch it

[Flyingwing12]

I found this motor at a thrift shop and got it for free. I wired it up and found that it pulls a surprising .45 Amps. It also generates an amazingly effective magnetic field around it. I am scared to touch it with both hands.

It seems to have a small transformer... Probably makes some mean voltage.

AS I recall, it only takes about .1 A across the heart to KILL.

So can I touch it?


Thanks..

If you have to ask, then the answer is no, don't touch it. Thread closed.
