I haven't tried it. First, I don't have the paddles, and I'm not sure how much voltage it puts out.

Someday I'll go at it with the voltmeter and see what it does. It's one of the few electrical things I'm a bit intimidated by, mostly because it's meant to mess with a persons heart rythm. Household current isn't a concern, I'm careful but not worried. And I've worked on 240v and 480v before. I suspect the defibrilator puts out around 200+ with a fair bit of current capacity, maybe more. Enough to make me very cautious.

The 1800's detonator box (Think Wile E Coyote) does work, puts out about 65volts without a very agressive push on the plunger.
