How to build a Taser for free!

This is a fun little project you can build! You can give your friends a really powerful electrical shock!

This project should be so easy to build that anybody can build! And best of all, it is free!

I am NOT responsible for any of actions using this modified devise, the responsibility is yours...
So be careful what you are doing, be safe and have fun!

Step 1 Get the things!!

All you need is...

• One used disposable camera of any kind. (You can get those used cameras for free at photo developing place like at wal-mart.)
• Some wires. (I got mine from broken electronic devices)
• some tape. (I used electrical tape)

And the tools...

• Flat-head screw driver.
• Something to strip the wires, wire strippers or a knife.

I bolt one it reley works

[tesla man]

what is the amps? could this kill u?

[M.C. Langer]

Thanks to you, today I learned how to transform an old camera into a weapon. Happy New Year!!!! :-)

[somebody12345]

it is the funnest part of the entire thing- exept for shocking the crap out of people

[rub3n]

i discharged the capacitor with a screw driver, but it recharged after... how do i make it stop recharging? email me @ [e-mail] thanks

[FrozenIce]

definately the best able of its kind... love it :D 5*

[ugv7821]

I used super Caps on 22uF and 500v, then i added three more batteries, and the power was enough to make an EMP that was capable of taking out a calculator at 20 feet of range!

[russian lumpy]

does it get discharged if it shocks you biecause it shocked and my arm is num .. but does that mean that its discharged

[croslandjr123]

Probably not fully. It's common sense to try and not shock yourself. If you do get shocked, discharge it again to make sure.

[xinistrom]

hmmmmm, i took apart some cameras a while ago but they werent disposable(apparently) and i wonder if the round thingies (capacitor?) would work in a simple switch circuit. oh, and it says photo-flashon it

ps, this would make a great prank, just have the wires connect to 2 metal plates on the side and get someone to take a picture for you >:D

[runningfan]

does it really work? I don't believe it!!

[qmde]

Yes, yes it does. I shocked mysellf with one of these cameras beffor

[Plasmana]

If you don't believe it, don't make it. ^{And yes it really does work}

[niconathanson]

I really like your instruct able. I just want to make sure that the loud spark won't totally freak me out. Also you copy-pasted the text on this step from Plasmana's version. Yours is easier.

[kuratano]

Soooo it shocked me and a pair of scissors...and now it wont work. all the connections seem fine. so idk...any help?

[jadams16]

There is a large chance that you destroyed the insulator inside the capacitor by "shorting" it out on your scissors.

[bloke2022]

oh NOW you tell me it makes a loud spark, i almost had a heart attack. (and i didn't get shocked)

[Alienwax]

I'm right there with you. I had it right up to my face and damn near shat myself.

[sharlston]

when does it make a loud spark

[bloke2022]

when you discharge the capacitor (if it was charged)

[sharlston]

how loud?

[bloke2022]

It won't scare you if you expect it.

[bears0]

i was afraid to discharge it the first time i made one and yes it freaked me out, it made my ears ring.

[chuerta1]

"Also, I am not responsible for losing your friends after shocking them!" LoL!

[xintus]

Quite simple, I like it...

[jsmit1]

Make your friends flash!

[webtelles]

I shocked myself by accident... and does hurt

[bears0]

I dare any of you to ask for a camera and use a technique like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klaVyjCjoUw

to "spy" on people,

[tinstructable]

Wal-Mart didn't ask for how many, they just said, here's two. Where else can you get them?

[bears0]

i don't know anyone named wal-mart :-)

[TheAwsomest]

This is painful i shocked myself 7 times trying to make this and didnt finish because my fingers were tingling lol

[bears0]

haha that is why you discharge the capacitor first.

[nunchucker]

when you say discharge what do you mean?

[bears0]

you discharge the capacitor by putting the metal part of a screwdriver, pliers, scissors or any other metal object that will touch both leads

(the wires coming out of the big round thing that has a stripe with - signs on it, it usually says something like such-and-such-a-number-uF)

of the capacitor, they say you should get something with a handle so it doesn't shock you but I don't think it matters

[hazza the gun]

fire

[nunchucker]

what do i do it? as in cut a wire or what

[hazza the gun]

yea thats about right

[spoons195]

how do i dishcharge the capacitator?
