ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron 1.5

The ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron just got better! Now when your prey discovers it they get a nice shock.

This hacked annoy-a-tron uses the shocking component from the thinkgeek shocking pen to shock anyone who touches the annoy-a-tron, making it even more annoying.

Note: pictures in this instructable will not always show exactly what is being explained. That is because they were taken the first time I ever did this and therefore I did not know what I was doing. Some of the steps that I took were not in the same order that I explain them in. The order I explain them in usually makes them easier to do.

Step 1 Tools and Materials

Here are the materials for this project:

Required materials:
Aluminium can
Roll of electrical tape
ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron
Super Glue or Krazy Glue
Rubber Cement
Plastic Straw (unless you have a reed switch)
A few paperclips
Spool of wire (22 gauge is probably the biggest you want)
ThinkGeek Shocking Pen

Suggested materials and alternatives
1 container of ThinkGeek Wire Glue (soldering would work but wire glue is safer and allowed in dorm rooms)
ThinkGeek Curiously Strong Magnets (or a relatively strong magnet and possibly another weaker magnet)

Nice to have materials (but my no means required)
Normally closed reed switch

Here are the tools used for this project:

Required:
Scissors
Hole Punch (or be really good at cutting small circular holes with scissors)
Probably some more I forgot

Suggested tools and alternatives:
ThinkGeek 19 in 1 multitool (or wire cutters, wire strippers, pliers, and a small drill bit)
Needle nose pliers are nice to have

This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

It’s funny until your victim drops and breaks the annoy-a-tron.

I would be very surprised if the annoy-a-tron broke when dropped, even if dropped from 15 feet onto a hard surface.

I just meant it as a joke. This is a great instructable!

Magnificent work!

Interesting idea. Where did you get the idea to do this? How much of a shock does it deliver?

[mattfilmer]

I got this idea because someone found one of my annoy-a-trons once, and I did not want them to find another. But if they do find it, it is still funny to watch them get shocked. It delivers just as much of a shock as the shocking pen from thinkgeek.com does, which is a pretty good shock.
