Tazer Glove

From simple everyday parts you can make this glove which has two modes. Mode 1 is a constant output of slightly over 300 v. while Mode 2 takes a few seconds to charge, but gives off a much more painful shock. All that voltage from a simple AA battery, Yay science.

Expect to spend around 20$ for this fun and rewarding project.

Step 1 Parts

In addition to the parts listed below, some basic tools are required, such as a soldering iron, drill, screwdrivers, etc. All the basic things that a well equipped tinkerer should have.

Parts:

1. Chemical resistant rubber glove. I bought mine at home depot, it dosent really need to be chemically resistant, just insulated enough to protect you from electricity.
2. Disposable camera
3. Aluminum foil
4. 2 Toggle Switches with On/Off Label Plate (Model:275-602) from the shack
5. Pushbutton switch from the shack
6. AA battery holder
7. Devcon weldit all purpose glue
8. Project box (As close to 3x2x1.5 as you can get) same as the one from the ignitor instructable

I've almost finished this build, but I'm having trouble removing the battery port that is attached to the circuit board and then attaching my own. Can someone help explain the best way to do so?

[Billybob101]

Does anyone know how long the battery's last?

[Billybob101]

Someone should make one that activates by flicking your hand up assassins creed style probably wouldn't work very well but it would still be awesome!

[Billybob101]

Can someone make one that has the box up your sleeve or in your pocket? It's kinda hard to sneak up on someone with that big box on your arm lol.

[Opcom]

amusing but having been exposed to electric shocks for many years of working around high DC and AC voltages, and being somewhat accustomed to their effects, whomever sneaks up on me with this instructable better pick the right spot and make it count for something, because I have a feeling that otherwise I'll just take hold of it and "reverse the charges".. this is really nothing to randomly play others with. It could cause an injury if the victim trips up, or an altercation in other cases. haha be careful .

[kinghack]

lol how funny can u plz tell me how to make a cheap tazer that is small on medium plz wanna get pay bak on friends lol thanx : )

[mrmerino]

First spell out all your words so we can read it.

[pinkeric]

This is the internet dude, chill out.

[ghostpotato]

no this is instructables (yes it is on the internet) and so most of us talk (type) like normal people not teenagers texting

[LoneStarWD]

Brilliant!

[Marcman]

"wire-switch-wire-capacitor-wire-switch-wire" so is it wire to charging switch wire capacitor wire and the charging switch again?

[Tetranitrate]

Its confusing, I know, sorry about that. I gave the capacitor 2 switches, one on the lead in and one on the lead out for extra safety. So there is one switch for the main power to the whole thing, and then another 2 switches on each lead of the capacitor.

[01MadMan14]

like a safty kinda thing???

[robodud3]

thank you for the shimatics they are so helpful i found this last year but couldnt figure it out from the pics now i can finaly make it by the way i love taking apart cameras and shocking ppl

[01MadMan14]

So this is fine to just randomly go up and shock people??? cuz i found this for that porpose and after skimming through this i got the feeling that it would incapacitate someone :S. Im just looking for some reashorance before i build and randomly shock my friends.

[pyroninja21]

I want to make this sooooooooo bad for my own seceret porpouses MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XOIIO]

Porpuses?

[cdousley]

cool secret porpuises

[codongolev]

 I'm quite secretive about my porpoises. in other words, I don't let people see my dolphins.

[sniperHunted]

agreed. porpouses are very secretive.

[crazyg]

1 mf = i guess 0.000001f feel free to correct me cos i cant be botherd to get the numbers right:-) my point is this car stereo shops (and also maplin) sell a large capacitor to boost the voltage in high drain subwoofer systems, theyv got a radius of about 10cm and are about 20 cm long they run on 12v but notsure if voltage is modified in little circuit board on the top, anyway they are rated at 1 F thats like 1000000 mF i had two (paralell) in my monster(2x12 2x15 2x7/9 4x4 6110w total peak, c 'metro car fans' on FB if you dont believe me) sound system in my metro(engine gave up) my mechanic and i have both been shocked by this system , how are we still alive?

[eliasware]

will it work with a 9 volt battery as well??

[unum]

I dont claim to be an expert but Camera capacitors are rapid discharge, high votage, high Farad which is similar to an amper, Your capacitors likely have a much lower discharge (12V) where as camera capacitors are 330V.

[unum]

Clarification on the "switch" that needs to be bridged. It generally in common disposables is a press switch on the underside of the circuit. Rather the glue\soldering this shut(which is impractical anyway) you should take off the top of the switch and use a small piece of wire to bridge it.

[unum]

NOTE: discharge capacitors using multimeter(safer).

[unum]

The electrical flashover(although the skin is a conductor it has enough insulation to insure that a shock say, from a lightning bolt can pass on to the ground(60% of people who are struck by lightning live) and lack of penetration (both physically and from lack of voltage(conjecture on my part)) might have something to do with it.

[unum]

I'm thinking of maybe adding three AA's in parallel, two 160 uf capacitors in parallel (out of the 14 camera's I got only 2 had 160uf capacitors). On the other hand I might use some of those irregular 3V (1cm) camera batteries that does not seem to serve any purpose.

[exploding pigeons]

what's the shack and is there one in Britain

[Purple Guy]

Radio Shack does not exist in Britain, but there are similar places like "Maplin" and "Rapid". I particularly like an on-line electronics dealer called "Technobots" which has a wide range of products at great prices.

[catfish23]

 radio shack

[cdousley]

radio shack

[egof]

try maplins i use then all the time

[netbuddy]

Maplins are expensive, try online like teaching supplies shops and wholesalers that sell on-line to the public. The Shack I will assume to be Radio Shack aka Tandys who used to dominate the high street before they went bust in the UK. You have lots of other outlets like RS Components and independent electronics suppliers, check your Yellow pages or Blue pages or whatever colour that they happen to go by...

[crazyg]

cpc cheaper than maplin but waiting is a pain stuff from china on ebay is my favourite at moment cos you can get five for the price of 1 ,enhancint the spair parts box somewhat

[spotty mcgee]

yellow

[superhubbardman]

its an electronic store in America. we dnt have it over here in New Zealand either

[Rye]

Radio Shack, and i dunno if you guys have any over there. They have a website though.

[rocketman221]

don't buy from radioshack they are very expensive and there parts are low quality.

[cdousley]

true but their is one in town......

[wamj]

just go to www.sparkfunelectronics.com they are a much better supplier than Radioshack and they have much better prices
