How to Make A Hidden Kodak TAZER

(WARNING: THE USE OF THIS TAZER AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL OBJECT RELATED TO THIS PROJECT CAN BE FATAL.

There may be other instructables teaching you how to create a simple shocker out of a disposable camera. I made one of those and well... took it to school and got it taken away. I figured, if i could completely hide all of the connections and stuff, it would be easy to trick other people its only a disposable camera. Well, here's how to do it.

Step 1 Materials

What you will need:

1 Kodak disposable FLASH camera
X-acto knife
Alligator clips
Tweezers
Electric wires
Snippers
Electric tape
Sticky tak or clay

Make sure that you have adult supervision if you are under 18 when using the knife

How do you deactivate it without taking out the battery.

[Rhamkota]

You could put the clips right where the face under the viewfinder so when they touch their face to it ZAP!

[Gabe4s]

But overall.....good tutorial!

[upinthecloude]

thank you

[TheZap]

Hmmm, is there a way to weaken the shock, I just want to make this for s#!ts and giggles to mess around with friends, not to scare the living s#!t out of them XD

[upinthecloude]

yeah. Find a capacitor of lesser voltage and solder that in place of the 330V capacitator.

[sadunpererarules]

dude. ur so mean. if u hadnt made such a good instructable i wudnt have been in so much trouble. haha. this is how da story goes...... In class, i was being a good boy (as i usually am), then i decide to show my good friend this tazer as u like to call it. then it falls of the table and lands on his leg. he gets shocked. then falls to the ground and starts vibrating uncontrolabbly. hew forgives me n says he wont squeal. but i feel bad

[upinthecloude]

Haha. I got in trouble for this as well! This was back when I was in middle school, and my teachers asked where I bought this and were awestruck when I told them I made it.

[hunt0h]

nice friend btw

[fub1985]

you could attach a switch to either terminal of the standard fitted pressure switch then all you have to do is cut a little hole in the back of the camera and hide it there so instead of taking the battery out and de-charging the capacitor every time you put it in your pocket you could just flick the switch and your away.. im writing up my own Instructable so I can make a disposable shocker that hides all the shocker components and pins so it look like a regular camera and not a camera with two crocodile clips sticking out of the side.. watch my profile for it im sure some of you will be impressed... and ideas are very much welcome for my up and coming Instructable so please any ideas will be great.....

[upinthecloude]

Great idea!
Perhaps post the link to the instructable?

[dragonsniper]

your camera sux!!! good instructible though

[upinthecloude]

Thanks!

This was posted about 4 years ago, back when cameras had less megapixels than my phone today.

[Fluffy, the Destroyer of Worlds]

The thing That I like about this one, is that I don;t need soder anything.

[upinthecloude]

Yes. This was back when I was in seventh grade, and using solder was quite out of the question.

[upinthecloude]

Oh my. It's been nearly 4 years since I've published this. And this was back when I was in 7th grade. i remember checking back everyday to see how many new views I got, and now I've gotten 15k views. This is amazing.

[Gabe4s]

If you have ever been shocked by one of these, say "I" in a reply message. I just want to know who has felt the pain (and who's dumb enough to touch it (like me)).

[HiddenBlade1234]

i didnt get shocked by it but my friend did he made one were u had to put a battery in it and when he was puttin the batery in it the current went through the battery up his arm and through his map he had sparks flying out his mouth

[th3ch053n0n3]

I, cuz I was making a coilgun and I didnt kno how to discharge it so i just grabbed it and it hurt.... then i thought it was discharged, touched it again, and got shocked again =(

[J-Manoo7]

"I" made one of these but with out the alligator clips to make it hidden.  I told my friend how also made one and told his dad that it would shock him if he(the dad) wasn't careful and my friend offered his dad some gloves but he refused saying "it can't hurt" ... then he didn't speak for like 5 minutes after getting tazed.

Moral of the story: if someone says "This will hurt you, wear gloves." it doesn't hurt to take that precaution, however it does if you don't.

[bylerfamily]

IIII.4 for all the times I've been shocked.:D

[softairdude]

I hate getting shocked by these

[clemsonguy1125]

I

[GunUdown]

"I" I got shocked with my friends when we were making one. He forgot to discharge the capacitor, I came back to connect the wires and bam!

[beet195]

lol i have been shocked by one of these...it hurt like crazy!!!!!! my friend did it lol right on my arm and myarm got numb, but it got better after like 5 minutes

[thebluemartyr]

I, have messed around with some buddies, we didnt charge it all the way for most of em, but one guy insisted on getting the full shock, so we zapped his arm, he said it was the most intense pain he ever felt, and the skin actually split into two big sores where the electrodes were, those are still there as scars :p poor guy

[ghostman!!]

how much does it hurt do you know? will it seriously injure someone or is it safe to shock people with it

[PyroManiac96]

It's safe to shock someone with, to the extent that it does give you a nice jolt. It's pretty painful, but not anything that will put someone away. It's like a slap to the face relative to the effects, it will hurt but not do anything else.

One thing though, on bare flesh or through thin clothing this could leave burn marks on the skin from where it contacted it.

One last thing, it could cause someone to jerk unexpectedly, in a direction that may harm them or others (In other words, don't shock someone who's sharpening a knife blank on a bench grinder... one wrong angle, the wheel will catch the blade and send it flying, usually in a direction towards the user's feet...)

So short answer, it in itself will not directly injure someone directly, however it could indirectly cause serious bodily harm or even death indirectly.

[upinthecloude]

To be exact, it depends on how long you actually touch it and your body current. The capacitator in the camera holds up to 330 volts. By short-circuiting it with a screwdrive, you release most of the electricity. When a human touches it, it will shock accordingly to his/her body voltage.

[tech1510]

 A good addition would be to solder a switch in between the two terminals of the capacitor to discharge it safely(without the sparks), another good addition would be a on/off switch (possibly protected), and a led to indicate when charged.

[pindalanderz]

how much worse is it than the shock you get from touching metal after jumping on a trampoline?

[Atlas22]

if the trampoline has no cover and you slip while jumping and(for dudes only) you land smak dab on the metal part of the trampoline, hiting you "twig and berries"(ouch!)

[sethman]

very worse about 80 000 times worse

[beet195]

lol alot worse

[kaboom05]

think of it like touching about 45 9v batterys to ur tounge (45x9=360ish volts)

[chip123]

much. i made one of a similar design. it gave my brother a cramp/muscle spasm in his leg.

[supah4x0r]

Ive been tasered before by police for non-violent things but the camera taser hurts much less

[butterflycookies]

what if you find a way to charge it up more than the oragonal can go? i bet you could sodere crap. i dont have a sodereing gun.....

[MLSAC]

Using the knife?! What about the taser! lol

[pibbis5]

instead of doing all that work,couldn`t you glue the capacitator to a pencil and stick wires on the end?
