Its checks your balance first. Then your credit rating. Then how many degrees of Kevin Bacon you are separated from an attorney. Then it does a complex calculation.
Poor credit? Owe Disney a cool grand already and haven’t even finished out your vacation? Never even had an attorney and nobody in your family knows one?
Kiss your heart goodbye.
Lumpy had an experience with that shock machine. Check out his post somewhere above.
Well the aluminium foil on the cover may form capacitor… that may be how it gets away with simple design.
The power may come from opening or close the cover ? perhaps a dynamo or gas lighter (piezo) inside ?
But anyway, why not use a battery to charge a capacitor ?
I believe that game was called “Domination” and was from Never Say Never Again.
One of those horror stories in the Nazi concentration camps during the war, not sure anymore if it’s true. A man or woman is strapped to an electric chair and is given a shock if he/she refuses to follow a command. The command is simple: press the button near your hand. It will shock another person similarly strapped. You can see that other person but not the other way round. That person may be your spouse, sibling, some other relative, or your offspring. Siblings tend to shock each other but not spouses. Parents resisted from shocking their children until they died.
What’s my point? At Disney you’re not strapped and no one’s ordering you.
Never heard of the Nazi’s doing this. Sounds like a miss-remembered version of the infamous Milgram Experiment…
Maybe that Yale guy got inspired, since it was done in 1961. And even Yaley’s wouldn’t try the version I described. In my story, you are ordered, on threat of death by electrocution, to shock the other person.
I’d have to see a citation that Nazis did this. IIRC the Milgram experiment was designed to see if people would ‘just follow orders’, which Nazis used as a defence. I don’t recall that he was inspired by Nazi electrocution ‘experiments’, nor do I think he would have been allowed to conduct his experiment if he was.
But that might be a subject for another thread. I’d still like someone to construct an ‘Electricity Is Life’ machine for me. 
Did they feel the power of the Lord? Zap! /sarcasm
