Tazer Glove

Step 5Attatch it to the glove and test

Attatch it to the glove and test

Steps:

1. Strip the last inch and a half off the two 10 in wires and connect them to a multimeter to see if it is giving off any voltage. In the photo mine is only giving off 254v because my battery is dieing.
2. Attatch it to the top of the wrist of the glove with a few rubber bands.
3. Cut the 2 wires so that when you put the glove on they will run an inch longer then your middle finger, and an inch longer then your thumb.
4. Wrap aluminum foil around the middle finger and thumb with the wires underneath each. Secure the foil and wires with some electric tape.
5. Congradulations you are done, pat yourself on the back, just not with the gloved hand.

Operation: To get the constant voltage, just turn on the main power switch, the indicator LED should illuminate and a steady supply of voltage will be supplied to the fingers. To charge it flip the other switch and push the button, you should hear the same high pitched charging noise that a disposable camera would make when it is charging. In a few seconds the capacitor should be fully charged and the fingertips will pack quite a punch.

Does anyone know how long the battery's last?

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

Porpuses?

cool secret porpuises

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

agreed. porpouses are very secretive.

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?

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

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.

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.

I've been attempting differnet versions of this trick for awhile. You can get a nearly ulimited supply of FREE used up disposible cameras from your local Wal-Mart or photo-shop. Just ask for them at the counter and they will most likely be more than happy to give them to you no charge. I've got like 20 lying around of different makes. I made my "shocker" with one by just taking out the flash bulb and soldering wires with probes to the empty flash bulb connections, very simple and effective. I've found that the Futaba brand generally carries the biggest capacitor and therefor packs the biggest punch. It is possible to put a higher capacity capacitor on it while keeping within the voltage. The more mF (capacitance) the capacitor has (while keeping at or just above the voltage of the origional capacitor) the more energy it will dump in a "flash" in your victim. The best camera I've got has a capacitor with 120mF @ 330v. I'm not sure what a lethal dose is for a human which is why I'm not experimenting with my other capacitors of 330mF @ 200v or 2200mF @ 10v. I do know that putting a bugger battery wont help, you'll probibly just fry the unit before getting to use it. A bigger capacitor is the best way to do it. IT ONLY TAKES LESS THAN HALF AN AMP TO STOP A HUMAN HEART!!!

as low as 600 volts can be lethal if they are charged

I went to wall-mart and asked for some and they said no we sell these back to the companys but u can have these cheep plastic tubes we use to hold roles of film in. Any where else i can get them free?

 Do you mean microFarads or milliFarads? Capacitance in camera-sized capacitors is probably displayed in microFarads, or µF. mF is milliFarads, and much more powerful. It takes only one tenth of an amp across the human heart to stop it, but that does not make this project at all deadly. One would have to isolate the rest of the body from the experiment. Putting one contact to one arm and the other contact to the other arm would push the current across the heart, but it's still difficult to measure the actual current flow at that point.

Thus, even with a 10v 2200µF cap, it will hurt a lot but doubtfully kill you.

this looks like it came strait out of fallout 3.... I like it!! i actually made a similer device were i had multiple camras set up in a series... it almost killed me
Oct 16, 2009. 11:46 AMjules15 says:
wow i have that same multimeter
Jun 9, 2010. 8:17 PMcdousley says:
i bought one from radio shack it looked good turns out it was discontinued 4for 5 years so i got money off but i like it
Jul 27, 2008. 7:33 AMcrice221 says:
what would happen if u pigtailed 2 capacitors 2gether then used the pigtail to wire to the circuit board, of course also having the push and flip switch inbetween the cap and board. I guess n basic terms, would it make the charged shock anymore powerful if i used 2 capacitors instead of 1??
Oct 22, 2009. 5:54 PMchessdude3 says:
Yes, I have additionally made a tazer with two capacitors and I also added a  battery case that holds two aa bats it double
Sep 21, 2009. 2:54 PM2k000 says:
im kinda confused could somebody make a video or something?
Aug 27, 2009. 3:06 AMDylatron47 says:
I'm sooooo making this............btw would it be possible to wrap the whole hand in tin foil?
Sep 16, 2009. 6:11 PMlunchboxslayer27 says:
no, because the two contacts would be touching each other constantly, and it would either not work at all, or it would constantly spark
Sep 6, 2009. 8:39 PMacer5050 says:
I've been planing to do this, Now I have the glove I cANT wait! Just one thing, I want the main power source/switches to be in a smaller package. any possiblity?
Aug 20, 2009. 5:58 AMghoru says:
it would be just as easy to use a thin 1-2 mm wide strip of metal over the fingertips...just wont look as "homemade"
Feb 21, 2009. 4:25 PMhobzez says:
hmm.... i wonder if you can do this except on the knuckles! like c. vipers gloves from SF4
Mar 23, 2009. 12:33 PMZideeane says:
Of course you can, you can just wrap the foil around the base of the finger(s) instead. Please don't be c.viper D':
Mar 23, 2009. 2:37 PMhobzez says:
why not? Also, i never said i was going to be her.
Jun 19, 2009. 7:32 PMEmberblade says:
you could use a pair of slightly more expensive quad gloves, rubberlined and form fitting, just find a pair with plastic knuckles and switch it out with some hammered pennies :3
Jun 19, 2009. 8:02 PMEmberblade says:
you know, now that I think about it, two metal plates on the palm of the glove would be pretty cool. and easy to use.

feel free 2 email me a response ne1 who reads that..my email is Jerimiah2580@yahoo
Jul 7, 2008. 5:36 AMjamedo says:
would this work if you lined the inside of a nintendo power glove with the rubber glove and put the circuitry in the controls box, far more conspicuous as people will think your just taking the piss hehe
Jun 24, 2008. 12:36 PMmax1256 says:
This is very cool! =D these are the best instruction I“ve seen on instructables.com....
Apr 8, 2008. 12:08 PMfaceless says:
has anyone built one with the contact points on the knuckles yet?
Mar 9, 2010. 9:02 AMcheezydog100 says:
can you use for self defense

I'm in the UK, and just about to attempt this one, but your instructable didn't mention what type of wire to use in the circuitry, would i be right in thinking it's copper wire? If so what would i be looking for if i wanted to salvage some from other electronics rather than purchasing more than i need? Great IS so far though, gotta love those capacitor discharges!
Apr 7, 2007. 11:17 PMGadget_Smith says:
is there a way to use more powerful batteries?
Apr 3, 2007. 2:16 PMVulcanator says:
try just making a stun-gun style tazer, like with two short wires sticking out of the box. Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Apr 3, 2007. 7:26 PMkardz says:
do u live in Canada? because i have a half-day exam tommorow and i can go shopping for this stuff after schoold but i'm not sure i can get these things here, more specificaly Montreal
