Take That! Taser

Learn how to protect yourself and how to keep your enemies at a distance with this high-voltage shocker! For other high tech projects, questions, or troubles goto ocalon.com!

Then take it a step further as you hack this project to electrify a defense grid (think small area such as a room or so) or use it as a defense mechanism to repel unwanted individuals from your stuff! My favorite use is as a shield on my robots where, when someone tries to pick it up will be in for quite a shock!... literally

First just read through the project, make sure to gather all the needed parts and tools and then you'll be able to create your very own defense taser.

Step 1 Materials/Supplies

Okay so first we begin with a parts list for the project:

1. Default materials: soldering iron (covered here)
2. circuit board scraped from a throw-away temporary camera
3. 3x2x1" project enclosure
4. Red SPST (single pole single throw) Pushbutton Switch
5. SPST Submini Slide Switch
6. 6" of stranded 22-24 gauge stranded wire (preferable 24 because its thinner)
7. Some AA batteries, 2 screws w/bolts, and a drill.

All these things are available at your local radio shack. Happy Huntings!

how can we modify this circuit to give a rather 50,000+ volts shock

[unum]

For 1700 volts go here:

[Kin_Hell]

Yes it gives around 300 on 1.5v so 3v would give 600, but the more you rank it the more likley it is to blow quicker

[unum]

use this instructable to make a smaller transforming circuit. it sacrifices the indicator LED but is less then 1cm^3 in volume and can use up to a nine volt:

 i dont see the battery in the picture, where is your power source coming from?

[masterserch]

am i supous a aa batery but good question

[Romanader]

Hmm... I wonder how a flyback transformer and a high-voltage joule thief would treat this project... Yeah... I actually go out of my way to be evil. It's satisfying to say the least...

[Javi93]

can i make the box out of legos? plastic would povide good isolation

[Padlock]

Wow, this is so original...

[PyroMonger]

It's not original at all because this 'ible' is also in a book I have - 101 Spy Gadgets for the Evil Genius - and it looks almost exactly like this in the book except for the stunning prongs. It's cool to show things you've seen in books but just remember to give credit to them.

[Padlock]

You obviously did not see my sarcasm. Search "Taser" or "Stungun" and count how many of them are made from disassembled disposable cameras. It will be in the hundreds, I assure you.

[cdousley]

mine is so original its made from a Nerf firefly flash circuit

[bylerfamily]

There are only 2 pages on both searches.No hundreds of instructables,sorry.

[Padlock]

Geez. You must not know what a hyperbole is, do you?

[bylerfamily]

I do,but I like taking people to seriously.:)

[Padlock]

And most likely the book got the idea from the internet, not vice-versa. This has been around since the merchandising of portable cameras.

[guydie5]

that it true but i think this one looks cool... But dang it i sure am sick of camera tasers

[qwaz]

 Would the stungun still have the desired effect if I reversed the prngs and only had the heads of the screws showing?

[expidition]

Where do you connect the push button wires exactly? Or could you post a picture with the caption things

[scozzahisee]

Nice looking gadget there. Does it rapidly arc electricity as long as you hold the button down, or is it a single arc per button press?

[lasermaster3531]

neither. at 330 volts, the arcing ability is limited to about the width of a human hair, .01 mm.

[Wyle_E]

That's actually a stungun, not a taser. The taser uses gunpowder to launch a pair of miniature harpoons, with trailing wires connected to the pulse generator in the weapon's grip. It's a much nastier weapon than a stungun, because the target can't just jump back and break the circuit.

[runmgh]

Actually, tasers use compressed nitrogen to propel the barbs. They can also be used as a direct contact stun device.

[fabrivassa]

yep, nitrogen

[lasermaster3531]

or CO2.

[jdsoccer17]

what kind of camera did you use? im trying a kodak. i dont really know what to do

[guydie5]

hey anyone know if it would work if i attatched three compasiters to each others wires and then use a nine volt battery to recharge it

[Padlock]

1. It's capacitor 2. With or without a circuit board? If you didn't use a step-up circuit then no, it wouldn't work. The most you could get is 27 volts, the minimum 9. It all depends how you wire it, and how you charge it.

[kimiharu]

ooooh dangerous....

[DIY Dave]

great instuctable much nicer than other camera tazer instructables

[ac1D]

another one..

[mrbob1000]

I made one of these like this, only thing is that i used the cold cathode transformer from a scanner. Works great, and has a continuous spark.
