This is my camera cap charger circuit (the wire goes through the board for wire stress relief) connected to a AA battery (the blue tape is for wire stress relief).

The unique (probably) part of this project is that I used two small magnets from a computer hard drive to make the capacitor detachable.

Remember to comment and rate, Thanks!

BTW Sorry I couldn't get more pics, I was fighting with the camera, it eats those puny AA batteries in minutes

if you conect the leads or both sides of the flashbulb to wires and re case it you can make a really good shocker. but for more fun with capacitors check out disposible camera coilgun it is awsome.
