DIY Taser +30,000V

Step 3 Mounting

by this point you have all the electrical components so your able to mount it how ever you like but this is how i did it. Mount your coil 4-6 inches from the front of the 2*4 using the mounts you salvaged from the car if you weren't able to salvage it use zip ties or duct tape. Next mount the 6 inch dowel 1-2 inches from the rear of the coil. for the batteries i mounted them on the bottom of the 2*4 but this does not work so well you can do it that way or try to come up with a better way to mount them. the switch was also a little tricky since mounting it to the dowel would be hard. for this step i mounted the switch to the side plate on an old pair of safety glasses then mounted that to the dowel. Finally you should have about a foot on 2*4 left this is there to counter the forward weight of the coil on mine I attached a string to help keep it level.

Notes
the batteries were falling out so i have since added a hinged section of plexiglass with a small latch

how long will the batteries last? since it requires a lot of energy wouldnt it drain them real quick?
