If you want a real good time, hang around some medium to very high voltage gear that begins failing or energizes/de-engerizes under a high load. It's either the coolest thing to hear and see or the absolute most terrifying thing on planet Earth, pending on how you look at it lol I've had the misfortune of being around it a few times and it'll chill you to the bone. Thankfully, Im usually restricted to under 1000v but I have had to terminate around 12,470v before lol

This was a lot of fun to watch! A lot of violence happening in a microsecond…
