I've not really looked into how ac power works but today I got my Vespa horn working. Years ago I tried dc and it blew the fuse as both contacts on the horn have continuity to each other so today I put the earth to one and ac 12v to the other and it worked

12v ac is simply a voltage wave going from +12v to -12v very quickly... 12v ac would make a horn vibrate wildly(which is what a horn does to make the noise) but the only way 12v dc would blow a fuse is cos the 2 contacts were shorting, which meant the horn was either knackered or damp

Nothing worst than vespa electrics. Ive got a smallframe 100 that years ago I put a beedspeeds 12v loom in with pk stator/flywheel. Everything worked fine til I hit the kill switch and the full 12v shot up my arm.

12v up your arm wouldn't do sod all.. 9v off a battery on your tongue only makes it tingle a tiny bit... if you short an ht ignition circuit, you'll be getting something more like 9000v (but a microscopic current) so its like an electric fence. it hurts, but its not actually dangerous.
