my friend claims a faulty CRT shocked him in the nads

This is 100% a true story told to me directly. My friend said he
picked up a 17" monitor (generic model) and could feel a fairly strong
electric shock down in his midsection. The monitor was completely
sealed at the time but powered on. I have heard similar stories about
standard tv sets. Are the components inside them that powerful?

Define "power". Most color sets run as much as 45KV at the CRT. As
a comparison, today's high energy ignitions systems run as much as 100KV ..
just over 2x as high.

The CURRENT is low at that voltage, but there is typically a high
static charge on the CRT screen. Which just LOVES to discharge through the
zipper pull ... ouch!

It's not a question of power. I've been shocked by some old Viewsonic
monitors which were switched off. They used to build up a heck of a lot
of static electricity, and we all used to be scared of touching them.
Mind you, it's a really big zap.

Yes, they certainly are very powerful, but it is likely that the
sensation your friend had was of the pressure of the very warm case
against sensitive areas. Any monitor that allowed significant
electrical effects beyond the case would cause problems with other
electronic devices nearby. Now if the case were off, potentially lethal
charges may be exposed.

My woman does all the heavy lifting around here.

But, I hit the degauss button, after any move of any CRT or TV...

otherwise the corner can go green!

And, I unplug the power...first! Then, we go off for a romantic
interlude for about two hours, before I remember what we were at...

Things move slowly around here, in the tropics...

Thanks alot, Trying to help YOU i've just been fired from my job!.

I was trying to replicate your problem and was caught by the boss with my
pants down rubbing my cock up and down on my monitor.

Anyone know what my rights are?. Can i sue for unfair dismissal?

Ha! That's what you get for shifting a CRT that's still on. I'm led to
believe this isn't a good idea because of the high-speed moving parts
inside. Or something.

Sue the arses off them!
My Wh*tley Council Handbook states clearly that this is only a
dismissable offence if you are rubbing somebody else's cock up-and-down
the monitor. Using your own is perfectly acceptable.
Your boss is probably jealous, lonely and frustrated. Be nice to him!

CRT's contain very high voltages. Even once turned off parts within the
monitor still contain very high voltages. If he has moved it and received a
shock it may be static through the screen.

It's more like 25kV ... and the beam current limiting (ABL) circuitry
would limit the current to ~1mA. My employer loved to demonstrate this
by removing the CRT anode and clutching it tightly in his hand while
powering up the set. He would receive a jolt, after which the TV's
SMPS would hiccup due to the relatively high load presented by his
body. AFAIK, the mad Irishman is still alive ...

I'm not familiar with "North Sea gas", but the weight of an H2
molecule is about half that of helium, and therefore hydrogen gas
should lift more than helium, not less, for a given volume.

Yes; the capacitors hold lethal voltages for some time after being turned
off.

Duh... hands of course, what did you think? I haven't come across any

Much like some in this ng.

You are mistaken about the two gases. Take a look at the Table of Elements,
OK?
