Disclaimer: Do Not Do THis!! it is dangerous, if you do it you are an idiot, i am an idiot for doing it, if, against my instruction, you did this, only use the capacitors that come with disposable cameras, if you use other ones the can incapacitate or kill!

Now, this instructable takes the technology of the Disposable camera taser and makes it smaller than your pinky finger.

How powerful is this "taser"????? is it like those shocking prank toys or does it have ALOT more voltage????
May 24, 2012. 8:57 AMjacobbrunberg says:
12o volts and it made me fall after putting it on my leg

onnce i put capsitorr in my mouth it hurt like hell and gave me burn so this is not funny
Sep 9, 2011. 4:34 PMnhabersetzer says:
why did you do that?
Oct 30, 2011. 3:51 PMjellis7 says:
no reason not to
Nov 25, 2011. 7:08 PMimBobertRobert says:
dude thats kinda messed up... it would be funny if i wasnt so deadly. but that optimism is good.

ALOT more current and voltage. It will leave two burn holes in your finger if you touch it.
Jun 15, 2010. 3:13 PMblindsniper96 says:
it can burn a peice of your skin black
Dec 16, 2010. 10:21 AMTerivia says:
seriously? wow.
Jan 2, 2011. 3:38 PMAmphithere96 says:
it hurts a good deal like blind sniper said. I zapped myself with a bank of six of these things and i was shaking for about 20-30 minutes afterward and it push me onto the wall which was directly behind me.
Aug 15, 2011. 3:50 PMhihihizx says:
Hahaha long ago we had one of these in school need less to say we go in a little trouble :)

While i was doing one of the camera tazers (my version uses the camera casing as a container for the rechargeable battery and as a disguise)(will post the mod soon) i zapped myself while reassembling and it freking hurt the living s*it out of me and left me with one arm shaking for a few minutes.... and the charge wasn't visible on the led yet... do your maths...

You guys are Stunned, it only takes 6 MilliAmps, thats .06 amps ! NOT 1 amp ! or 150 milliamps !
Feb 22, 2010. 3:40 PMbylerfamily says:
Wrong,I've been hit by 8 and more milliamps.It takes 50 to kill.
Mar 17, 2010. 12:28 AMmettaurlover says:
Technically it takes .006 amp to kill you across the heart. Otherwise it would just fry whatever it contacted.
Nov 30, 2010. 7:48 PMdeliverer777 says:
You're all wrong, it takes 72 milliamps, dependant on the resistance across the heart. I am an electrician and I took OSHA.
Mar 9, 2011. 1:25 PMcooter1974 says:
what about 71mA? Its not really worth arguing because it depends largely on the person's health and duration of contact. 14 year Electronics Engineer.
Mar 9, 2011. 1:31 PMmettaurlover says:
You. Necroing. Stop it.
Nov 30, 2010. 7:49 PMmettaurlover says:
Huh. I was pretty close, though.
Mar 19, 2010. 5:55 PMcrashbash says:
you can charge a capacitor to a higher voltage but its  complicated, switch the 1.5v battery with 9v, then take 8 more capacitors and put them in series, then you can charge it with a lot more voltage but the amps (farads in this case) will be reduced by a lot, so it hurts more and is less dangerous!
BTW the minimum amount of amps to kill a human (at the right circumstance) is 0.1 and the capacitors are 60-120 micro-farads, 1 microfarad is one millionth of a farad and one farad is an amp) so its not enough to kill you. but its enough to really hurt and will destroy skin and blood cells
Feb 13, 2011. 12:58 PMuberdum05 says:
Wrong. Farads is a measure of how big a capacitor is (e.g similar to how much it will hold) and amps are the amount of current flowing past a certain point in a circuit at any moment.
Feb 14, 2011. 9:00 PMcrashbash says:
#1: That comment was posted a year ago
#2: 1 farad is equal to one ampere
#3: Was 'wrong' really necessary? You hurt my feelings =P
Mar 9, 2011. 1:21 PMcooter1974 says:
I'm curious how you came up with the 1 Farad equal to 1 amp theory.
Mar 2, 2011. 7:40 PMbloodyblahblah says:
wait, won't it break?
Jan 24, 2011. 8:43 AMmr.beat yo ass says:
i should put this in my sling shot and shoot a pigon whit one
Jun 29, 2010. 9:59 PMpyrofire says:
this is a good idea, but the shock only lasts for about 1/10 of second. you can just take the capacitor off the camera and solder two wires to the leads. then put the circuit back in the case and wrap the wires around the case (making sure the wires dont over lap. then you have a continous current. p.s. this will not kill, just hurt like hell.
Dec 11, 2010. 11:47 PMmaddman says:
well , it could kill one two conditions, if the voltage becomes high enough to instantly fluxuate all the iron in your body, and or the person recieving the shock has a pace maker. which would almost certainly result in death. other than that pyro is right.
Jan 13, 2010. 9:13 AMdarkdavid37 says:
why cant you just attach  two wires from the capaciter so it would stick out of the camra
Dec 5, 2010. 10:25 AMShades of Grey says:
I would be more convinced to catch a camera like object rather than a random piece of something a buddy was throwing at me. However it would be smaller and more conceable the way the 'ible was written
Mar 17, 2010. 8:06 PMhyudryu says:
why cut it off? why not just desolder it? Desoldering is way easier and you have extra length of the leads
Sep 19, 2010. 3:35 PM1sheridan says:
then just desolder then put some solder in the holes
