I can see how one could make some sort of

of safety issue? (discounting grabbing the most negative and most
positive terminals thereby attaching yourself to 90VDC - that is an
implicit safety issue that would still be there if you could find an
old 90V dry battery).
I was thinking of the same 3D structure you were thinking. In fact, I
have used a bundle of 10Ohm resistors in parallel wired to a bunch of 9V
batteries in parallel to ignite a chemical fuse in a timed explosive.
90VDC shouldn't hurt you too bad, as long as your skin is dry when you
tough the terminals.
