does this hurt?

[qwaz]

what would be a suitible plastic box for it?

[RGM La Paz]

what sis u use as contacts

[Gh{O}sT]

I can't see the pic of the circuit board clearly D:

[hinge]

The expression "taser" keeps popping up and anybody using it should know the difference between a stun gun an a taser

[pyrofirelighter]

so what is the difference?

[hinge]

Well,there's only one thing connecting taser and a stun gun.High voltage.Otherwise it's difficult to find anything which they share.One fires darts with taser,which need to hit the target to have any effect,any taser is easily 3 times more expensive than any stun gun and much more expensive to "maintain".A stun gun is a device which you have to press against a target to get "the spark"going.So we're talking distance and easiness to use.It's difficult to think about homebrewed Kodak "shockers" in terms of a stungun.

[Gh{O}sT]

taser gets more searchers :P

[El Mano]

For those of us (like myself) with a very basic understanding of electronics and related items (including capacitors) what happens to the victim?
How much does it hurt, does it leave any lasting damage (I read shockhappy's comment about "taser tattoos"), are you completely positive this will not kill a person, etc. I don't want to be beaten to a pulp because I tased someone into last year.

[sadunpererarules]

leaves two small burn marks where the two pieces short through you. but nothing serious. Arm might be sore for 15 minutes. but it has around 500V of shock, according to mine anyway. but Volts dont Kill you, amps do. like a car battery has 12 V but over 6 Amps, and real tazers have like 900000000000000V but a small number of amps. so no need to be scared. its really cool once u make it. but make the one with the camera. looks hardcore.

[mr. clean]

the worst damage from this is two burns and a your arm, no one has ever needed CPR or been killed it's not 500volts it's 300volts at about 18milli amps.

[bombmaker2]

dont car batterys have like 300-400 amps?

[limpach]

Oh that is brilliant! A device designed to shock with an electric current, so you house it in an altoids tin.

[Father Christmas]

hey hey hey. it really is brilliant, i did it a while ago lol

[oh1134]

sweet... I wana get one of thoses. More portable (and dangerous then the smallest nerf gun...

[carscanpoo]

oh come on dude when i first made my tazer i shocked myself 5 different times and it didnt hurt too much. if you want a heart attack go swimming in gas then taze yourself.=)

[DrWeird117]

THAT'S spontaneous combustion!

[Father Christmas]

it depends on how you touch it. i mad eone while back and zapped my forearm. nothin really. but if you touch the two contacts with one finger each from each hand, then currect travels through the chest, and any organs that might be there.

[shockhappy]

still wont kill u, tried it!! w/ my pot-head friends it wont kill you, its the amps, it doesnt have enough

[Father Christmas]

you also have to take into account any cardio-vascular problems such as those that might be prevalent in the elderly or ill

[mr. clean]

yes don't shock any one with heart problems just to be safe

[insert name here]

where did you get a switch?

[wolf555hound]

ima try a mouse switch, reeeealy sensitive....more evilnessishyness!

[shockhappy]

radio shack, for like 3 dollars for a tiny switch, or you can steal it from there its not too hard just slip it in ur pocket when no ones looking, its too easy

[baddjj]

Are you an advocate for theft? That's not very bright.

[DrWeird117]

I know. No one is EVER in there.

[nh7tr]

you are correct, it's funny thats i understand this and im 14

[OfficerKarl]

I hope you know that minors will read this. You are contributing to young peoples delenquincy... :)

[wiebevandomburg.hotmail.com]

so what , anybody knows that if you take something and put it in your pocket without paying for it is called " stealing"

[Grey_Wolfe]

Still, telling people that it's easy isn't a great way of reinforcing their anti-crime values.

[OfficerKarl]

Exactly...

[OfficerKarl]

But some people need something to initiate it, like, oh I dunno, a website... I really don't want to argue about anything relating to human psychology because it never makes sense :(.

[shockhappy]

my bad, Im a minor too btw :)

[OfficerKarl]

Who cares... isn't it just fun to shock people (and/or yourself)? :)

[bombmaker2]

yup

[OfficerKarl]

One time I actually shocked myself when I was testing a spark plug... ouch...

[bombmaker2]

ouch 6k going through you

[OfficerKarl]

my finger slipped and I touched the metal, but the dumb part was when I did it again... talk about oops...

[bombmaker2]

lol

[The_Vinninator]

does anyone know the specifications of that capacitor???

[shockhappy]

80vlts 330mf about 15 amps if you want a better capacitor, the "flash+" cameras have: 120volts, 330mf, and i dont kn0w the amps

[Audiosyncratic]

If you get rid of the capacitor does it make a continuous charge of the same voltage??

[shockhappy]

nope, its a whimpy 1 some dont even feel it

[mettaurlover]

use a 9-volt adaptor to make a good holder... and make it more powerful.

[shockhappy]

a 9 volt battery breaks the circuit board, yea I've tried it, 4 AA batteries do the same.

[computer_freak_8]

You have bad luck! I used to use 4 AA batteries in a holder - and it worked (faster, too). Then I went to using a 9V battery - that charged really fast! By the way, I did kill one of the three circuit boards when I did something I figured would... I took the capacitor leads to the board's battery terminals. (It wouldn't charge on that board after that...)

[shockhappy]

you do kill a lot of those things experimenting, but its worth info u get from it

[OmegaClone]

great work thanks 4 the info,i didnt realize it would have so much punch init.thanks again this is really good.

[BloodRoger]

the possibility of this actually killing some one is so low the chance of that happening is some where around 1 to 1000 beside the actual police tazers and electrified fences are 10time stronger than this and the reports of deaths from those thing is extreamly low

[nf119]

More instructions are need especially due to the hazards in the step(s) or the product(s) of this instructable. For your legal safety and the safety of others please include the following: 1) A clear warning of the high voltage hazard 2) A clear warning of the medical dangers Note: I believe that it is extremely dangerous for you to leave the capacitor in the circuit. The flash capacitor are made to rapidly release their charge and the amperage they can output + their voltage rating have a extremely high possibility of causing heart failure as well as many other harms. The device will still produce quite a shock if used without the capacitor.

[shockhappy]

haha what r u like a 90 yearold guy who lived a goddamn sheltered life haha its harmless i mustave shoched myself 100 times i know all bout capacitors yea i may be 16 but i know all bout that crap, its so weak it woulnt stop a pacemaker if u tazed it dead-on iight so relax you stinkin old sh.it.

[solidacid]

actually AC is way more dangerous than DC, thats why they use it for the electric chair

[nf119]

One, I am only a year older than you. Two:

Hand to hand resistance is around 17 kohm (extremely dry skin, flesh has lower resistance). Flash capacitors are rated for 330 volts but charge up to around 300 volts.

Ohm's Law state V = I * R which rearranges to I = V / R. Thus I = 300 / 17000 = .0176 amps. Thats 17.6 mA. Its takes 30 mA across the heart to kill. These calculation does not take in account of lower resistance of moist skin and tissues inside the body.

Just think 120 V AC (which is safer than DC) can kill. And most outlets only let through a couple of amps. Photoflash capacitors are design to pulse out much lager currents at ~300 V DC. They are more dangerous than AC Outlets.

Three, I was only trying to help you.

[bombmaker2]

no clue what all that means but only 7ma can kill across the heart

[MrMystery96]

i agree. this taser idea puts out some serious shocks. but i can also see how shockhappy sees it. the shocks hurt but in most cases don't or won't cause damage or death. but if i had to choose whos side im on its definately nf119.

[shockhappy]

haha i havent killed any one yet,i dont worry bout that shyt, takes the fun out of it... the tazers i make leave marks they hurt like hell, my friend agreed to be held down while we "tazer tattooed" him, pretty crazy... hairs stopped growing within a 2cm radius of the tazered area, u made a pretty cool intsructable yourself, i felt like pissin someone off at the time haha dont take it personally iight bud?

[Derin]

try it on me:)u cant im faar away

[BloodRoger]

I actually think this is a pretty nice one its allot less noticeable than some iv seen *hint if you get rid of the cap then solder the screws to that u could get a continuous charge

[shockhappy]

finally someone that sees it my way, thats the only reason i made it, so that its somewhat unnoticeable if you hold it right. i tried making one like that, with a continuous charge, u forget about it and u end up gettin' urself once and a while

[johndoe5595]

it seems kinda tough to make and u need to take better pics i can barely see the outline of the battery. post an easier one to make that is in a glasses case, that would be cool.

[uguy]

You need better pictures to maake this a decent Instructable, although this subject has been done numerous time (too many times).

[shockhappy]

not in a candy box tho, yea im lazy too lazy to make a decent instructable

[MrMystery96]

dude you really should put some better pics in. seriously. but what i really want to ask is : since im putting mine in a round box and i don't have a lot of things to work with it would be just my luck that some wires came loose. so i need to figure out where they go. i have built my own cnc machine. wrote quite a few programs for it and got first at the science fair with it. im also working on a van de graf generator and yet i can't figure out where two wires go.

[shockhappy]

ya theres about 6 wires if ur lukin 4 tha wires that connect to the screws and shock yu, u can find them by touching a peice of wire curved into a "u" shape,charge the circuit board(i know , its dangerous but wear mitts or sumptin..) and find the "lead dots" near the flash bulb in the circuit board (u can take out the flash bulb but be careful! u cud ruin ur taser i messed up like 3 circuit boards before i got it right ) with the wire touch 2 lead dots with 1 dot for each side keeep doing this till u see a spark then sodder seperate wires to each of the lead dots theyll conect to each screw ill update the instuctable sooner or later when i have time

[GorillazMiko]

You should put more stuff into this Instructable. Better pictures, more detail. The usual. I'm not saying it's terrible, but it should have more work put into it.
