I know all about the capacitance of CRTs in typical televisions and computer monitors. But do dumb terminals (which resemble monitors but aren’t) also contain high voltage CRTs that can blow you across a room?
p.s. - where would an anode ray tube (ART) be found?
Where did you get the idea that the charge stored in a CRT would “blow you across a room?” I’m guessing from the same source that said a person hit with a shotgun blast would fly across the room. It isn’t true to my knowledge but there is enough charge in most any CRT to potentially give you a fatal shock, no pun intended.
I’ve never heard of an anode ray tube, are you missing yours?
I’m not sure, but I believe X-ray tubes might be considered to be “anode ray tubes”, in a sense. From this page
On the other hand, I don’t think a radiologist would ever refer to an X-ray tube as an “anode ray tube”.
Actually, a galvanic spasm can fling you across the room easily enough. I’ve done it with 120 Volts. I think you can accept “blow you across the room” as a reasonably accurate depiction of the consequences of a mult-thousand volt shock.
And yes, dumb terminals use CRTs and therefore have the same high voltages. Don’t mess with them unless you know what you’re doing is my advice.
Anode rays can be found in particle accelerators and mass spectrometers.
Positively charged beams of atoms were crucial to the discovery of atomic isotopes.
