Build a World's Smallest Electronic Shocker!

This amazing little shocker is very tiny and can be hidden almost anywhere and give someone a surprise shock! It can operated by almost any 1.5v batteries!

So, on this instructable, I will show you how to make shockers that is smaller than a penny!

However, the biggest disadvantage of this shocker is, it is very hard to build, but it may be easy for experienced soldering iron user (like me) to build the shocker...

Please note that I am only 15 years old and I am not very good at grammar so if you find some parts of the instructable confusing, please let me know and I will try fix it.
And excuse me for some of those blurry and hazy picture. I cannot make them better...

New and improved version!

Build a World's Smallest Electronic Shocker! version 2.5

Disclaimer: This shocker can be dangerous, it gives out 450 shocking volts, so I am NOT responsible if you or anybody are injured or killed by the shocker, the responsibility is yours...

Step 1: Get the things!!

Hardly anything is needed for this project but the tools...

• "Boots" or "Polaroid" type disposable flash camera (You can use a Kodak camera, but they are harder to work with).
• Some wires (I got mine from broken electronic devices).
• Solder.

And the tools...

• Soldering iron with a micro-tip.
• Desolder pump (it makes everything so much easier, but you could probably get away with out one).
• Flat-head screwdriver.
• Wire strippers.
• Wire cutters.
• Pliers.
• Tweezers or micro pliers (or your hand, but you are more than likely to get a solder burn).

Also, if you don't know how to solder, read this great instructable!

Hello, I'm new to electronics and I was taking a look at your circuit trying to figure out how it works. If you don't mind I would like to know what is the purpose of the 220 ohm resistor. Thank you.

[kbyrd2]

I recently made 8 of these and put them in parallel to charge a capacitor bank. Now, when using one to charge a capacitor I require an RC Circuit. But, when I made the 8 in parallel no resistor was need to charge a capacitor. I was just hoping you could clear up how I could have built up the resistance to not require a resistor to charge.

[ffp]

Mine doesn't work, it gives 1.5V output. I'm using a 500 ohms resistor since the one that came in the camera was 1k

[lieg]

can YOU write mane or number for the Transistor. thmx EMAIL [e-mail]

[flagoyo]

can you connect this to wire loop game ?? where are the line 1 line 2 terminals? please tell mee :)

[borgcollective]

How fast does this shocker run at?

[Ohcpin]

May i know volume and code for capacitor, diode and transistor?

[The nerdling]

i have a small transformer with 5 pins and red tape around it, its about as big as my thumb, would i be able to use this?
thats all the info i have, no markings on it

[jakas98]

can i build it with 6pins transformator? becuose i cant find one with 5pins..:(

[tanmanknex]

would the transistor be a pnp or a npn?

[DHeigh]

Relate the pins of the symbol this the type of transistor:
1. The arrowed pin [Emitter] is always points at the "N" pin.
2. The pin that goes to the center of the bar is always the Base and is always opposite of what the other two are.
3. The non-arrowed pin is always the collector.

So the transistor in the schematic above has the arrow pointing out making the outside letter = N, so it has to be a NPN.
If the arrow pointed at the Base, then the Base would be N, and the ouside pins P,
thus it's a PNP.
Does that help?

[CJ9T5]

what wattage is the resistor? 1/4, 1/8, 3, 5? i want to but the pieces but i dont know which one

[Presentteck]

going off of size alone i'd say 1/8. either 1/8 or 1/4 should work though, the only difference i know of between the two is size and heat dispersion.*
(assuming they're both 220ohm

[petrolon]

What are the farad ratings on that capacitor? 1000nF? Probably 2200nF?

[CJ9T5]

could anyone provide a link or tell me what kind of transformer i should buy? i had a look on ebay but all i found was this :http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/13V-Output-220V-Input-4W-5-Pins-Electronic-Component-EI-Power-Transformer-/330820953105?pt=AU_B_I_Electrical_Test_Equipment&hash=item4d06772411&_uhb=1#ht_2183wt_1141

[support.535]

I've just started this project but i had found more than one transistor which i should use ?? and you wrote to be careful while desoldering it . is it possible to give the code of transistor so i can buy ?

i would be thankful if you be in touch with me

[deathnoteviewer]

Is there a way that i can tell appart different types of transistors?
I dont know where the base, the emitter and the collector are.


Thanks in advance

[dcyinely55]

It depends on if it's a PNP or a NPN transistor. Flat side up looking at the pins a NPN is E. B. C. A PNP is C. B. E. does that help?

[Plasmana]

Have you tried using google?

[resistanceisfutileiflessthan1ohm]

i managed to build a simple shocker but was unable to make one this small. i rewired the camera charging circuit so that the input went to a battery holder and there were electrodes where the capacitor was. i have tried to follow this method of "deadbugging" a number of times but could not get the thing to work. am i just crap at soldering? by the way the capacitor in this circuit isn't needed the system works just as well without it, or so i have found with my somewhat bulkier version.

[Wyattr55123]

320 volts at almost 0 miliamps is just painful. Not dangerous. I have touched a Jacobs ladder and am still standing. That is alot more powerful than any from of disposable camera. Just saying.

[ali321]

can anyone tell me the specification of transformer used in this shocker....?

[Higgs Boson]

Have you tried just using the stuff from a cheap disposable camera like in the ible? the cameras need to create at least 330 volts to charge the flash, so every camera should have the components the make the high voltage.

[Higgs Boson]

Whoa, after seeing the voltage with 4.5v input I think it would actually be feasible to power a photomultiplier tube as well as many other things with this little thing! Did you use this as your design for the 450v inverter on your Marx generator?

[godwhite]

It took me a while to figure out, but it seems your schematic diagram is wrong. Based on the picture of the transistor you've shown, you've hooked them up this way.

(crappy picture I made with paint)

This makes more sense because you're giving the base of the transistor a lot of current. When you do this, you're putting it in saturation, and it allows large currents to pass from the collector to the emitter without burning up the transistor.

[hornbadoing]

Im gonna use a potentiometer or variable resistor or w/e i need to use for it (idk much bout electronics) but im gonna make it adjustable and hook it up to nipple clamps and have a ... shocking.. surprise for my gf >=)

[crazy-blender]

could you use the 80 uf capacitor to make a pulse discharge

[tesla man]

What are the chance of... oh i dont know, DEATH!

[njrajgelani]

I have breaked my Five pin Transformer. Any body can tell me what can i use in place of it????
PLS.... tell me and thank you in advance.

[RISL]

HOW MANY AMPERES PRODUCE THIS INVENTION (I USED IT TO ENERGIZE A CIRCUIT BUAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA) THANKS

[KingOfBritains]

I happen to have a spare 100nf capacitor, what would happen if I used that instead of the 22nf suggested?

[resistanceisfutileiflessthan1ohm]

could this work without the 220 ohm resistor because i have tried it many times but failed just as often. i think it may be more successful without this resistor as it would separate the primary and secondary coils. what you have shown appears to be indentical to the circuit already in the camera which does work so why won't mine. please try and explain if i am going wrong anywhere. thanks

[Krb686]

I don't understand how this circuit works. I have seen other shocker circuits recomposed from old disposable flash cameras that are connected in entirely different ways. In your circuit, it looks like flow initially travels into the secondary coil through the 220 Ohm resistor at the center tap, and then into the top through the capacitor and diode. Then, it flows to the base of the transistor which allows current to flow through the primary coil. At this point I'm confused. How does this step up the voltage? Also, how do you have an output of 450V when the diode prevents electricity from travelling in that direction and it sure as hell doesn't travel through that 220 resistor.

[dog digger]

The transistor is making the 1.5v input oscillate, making it square wave. The transformer steps up the oscillated voltage to 450v. The diode rectifies it to half wave DC and the capacitor smooths it out
