Camera Taser & Shocker

video Camera Taser & Shocker

We made a small camera taser out of a disposable camera, the other "tasers" actually use the capacitor to shock you. which actually burns your skin rather than shock you. Using this shocker delivers a 1300v. continuous shock ,we hope you enjoy it.

What kind of transistor was used?

Mar 21, 2011. 10:05 PMpedro120495 says:

or whit a 470 ohm is better than a 220??????

Mar 20, 2011. 7:45 PMpedro120495 says:

even the ohm is bigger than 216 ohm it wil work better?????

Hi; I have a question. It's urgent. Is a 220 ohm resistor really neccesary?? Can't I just use like a 170ohm resistor or something? Cause I don't have 220 ohm resistors....

Jan 1, 2011. 10:55 AMddvniek says:

Or will 216ohm be enough?

Jan 1, 2011. 12:10 PMHM-Innovations (author) says:

216 ohm resistor works, but it will work better with a 220 ohm

Jan 1, 2011. 12:21 PMddvniek says:

Whats the deference if I use 216ohm instead of 220??

Jan 1, 2011. 4:10 PMHM-Innovations (author) says:

how much current is allowed to go trough the circuit

Jan 1, 2011. 11:08 PMddvniek says:

Ok. And this will work with any old camera with a flash? Cause not all cameras are the same. Thanks for all the help.

Jan 2, 2011. 5:52 AMHM-Innovations (author) says:

thats correct

Mar 15, 2010. 10:29 AMmdog93 says:

Could you put a push to make button in this circuit so it only shocks when you press the button?

Mar 15, 2010. 3:11 PMHM-Innovations (author) says:

Yes you can

Mar 16, 2010. 11:00 AMmdog93 says:

ok, would it just be as simple as to put it anywhere or would there be a specific place it should go

Mar 16, 2010. 6:01 PMHM-Innovations (author) says:

anywhere would work.

Mar 17, 2010. 10:59 AMmdog93 says:

ok. BTW, this couldn't be done with a regular film camera could it? I'm guessing not cause it might not have the flash charger sircuit.

Sep 5, 2010. 9:42 AMjules15 says:

it can, and all flash cameras have the charging circuit.. The only thing is a disposable camera is a lot cheaper lol

Sep 6, 2010. 1:32 PMmdog93 says:

yeah but lots of people have old rubbishy film cameras lying around- we have about 4 :P

Mar 17, 2010. 3:32 PMhyudryu says:

Its 330V. I measured it. BUt with new batteries 1.6V AA, they go up to 400V not 1.3kV

Mar 21, 2010. 10:27 AMHM-Innovations (author) says:

try using a 9v battery instead of a 1.6v

Jun 17, 2010. 1:02 PMhyudryu says:

I did and the transistors bubbled o_0

Apr 25, 2010. 11:55 AMCitystars says:

could you upload the schema pls?
So i can figure it out a bit.

Jun 16, 2010. 10:36 AMN3v3rm0r3 says:

look here

Jun 14, 2010. 2:09 PMhifatpeople says:

To get a continuous shock from your "average" camera taser, take out the capacitor and use the wires used to charge the capacitor. Could you explain how you did that? I want to get rid of the bulk of the camera circuit and only use what i need.

do you have schematics for this?
