Good Use for Junk?



At the 1 hour photo developing place they recycle the disposable cameras.
Even the one's with charge units. They will also give me any of them that I
ask for. The disposable cameras run off a 1.5 volt battery, contain a photo
capacitor rated at 400 volts. I charged one while measuring the voltage
across the capacitor's leads. It went up to 290 volts when the ready neon
bulb began to flash.

So here's the question. This stuff is too good to pass up. Any
lab/demo ideas that these parts, in pieces or in toto, could be used for?
