Introduction: 2000V Home Made/DIY Stun Gun
in this ibles u will learn how to make a some thing like a plastic baton+stun gun.
oh btw.....THIS IS ALL MY IDEA....I DID NOT STOLE IT FROM ANYWHERE...I SWEAR!!
Step 1: Get the Stuff
all u need is:
bug zapper thing
screwdriver
solder
wires
2 pin plug
files
vice grips
heatshrink tubing
keeping/twisting thing(see pic)
some knowledge about electronics and common sense
IMPORTANT
all the stuff i use is legal....especially the bug zapper, which is rarely illegal in any country....even in my country.....where guns,swords,combat knives,explosives,pepper spray,stun guns,hand cuffs,thumb cuffs,leg cuffs,high powered lasers,airsoft guns lighter shaped like guns/pistols,real guns,live rounds,contraband cigarettes,drugs are ILLEGAL in my country....i live in the safest place ever.....on a mountain....lol ....i actually live in SINGAPORE.....oh ya btw....my country just turned 44 yesterday :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!
Step 2: Open'em Up
locate all the screws and unscrewthem
NOTE: some screws may be under a sticker
nce u opened it , u will see a circut board
IMPORTANT!!:"short" out the circuit before touching!!
keep everything! the 5 screws and the button in the other half of the handle
Step 3: Get the Ugly Crap Out
next,pry open the tennis/badminton head out...u should end up with just the handle part.
u should end up with the parts that are not needed
Step 4: Make the Cool, Scary Tip
next, we wanna make the tip that scares most friends....using the 2pin plug
Step 5: Make Way!
first, file/cut/dremel in between the 2 pins so that u can screw it on later
Step 6: Scary Stuff
next, bend the 2 pin s together.......u will probably be left wit some cracks....it's just fine!....next, get ur self some of the wire keeping/twisting thing(see pic) and get the metal
coil it around one of the 2 pin plug,making sure it's in contact with the pin u coiled around
next get another keeping/twisting thing(see pic) and some heat shrink tubing
poke a hole in 1/3 way through of the heat shrink (only 1 hole needed)
get the coiled keeping/twisting thing(see pic) and put it on the 2 pin plug....then put on the heat shrink,making sure it it sticks out throught the little hole u made earlier
next, add heat!
THE SCARY TIP IS DONE!!!:)
Step 7: Gonna Finish
next....just solder all the wires.....
the red wire on the circuit board - any one of the 2 pin plug
x2(black wire) on circuit board... - use only 1 of the 2 wires and solder to the other side of the 2 pin plug (using 2 black wires would be saferthought.....if some how 1 cable has problems)
MAKE SURE U PUT HEAT SHRINK TUBING SO THAT NOTHING SHORTS OUT ITSELF
Step 8: Assembly
put everything back in and ....SUDDENLY it does'nt fit......then, get a jet lighter or some small torch and a big diameter screwdriver which cannot fit the screwhole on the assembly
light ur...lighter while pressing down the screwhole part of the whole assembly
this will melt the plastic into a sort-of L-shape
Step 9: Done....sort Of
once u screwed everything.....all u have to do now is test it out.....
BUT before u do that, u have to re-position the keeping/twisting thing so that it arcs to one of the 2 pin plug
don't put the keeping/twisting thing too close......u want it to arc every1 sec if the button is held down continuously
Step 10: I Applaud You
u have just made a home made stun gun....NOT taser�"....... taser" is a brand!!
Step 11: ATTENTION!!
please do not test this great creation of mine on an animal.....it will hate u forever...lol
btw if u wanna test it on someone.....be sure that they allow u to stun them......if not ......it's just rude........i mean...u wouldn't like someone stunning u when u're drinking beer or doing ur work.....i would grab that thing and stun him back.....
Step 12: Word of Advice
after each use, by which i mean scaring them with the electric arc.....be sure to discharge the thing or it still can stun ppl.....
Step 13: Voltage
wanna check how much volts urs is gonna produce?
no prob....just take a look at a brown component on the circut board and read the printing

How come I didn't see this?!?!?! Mine only produces 500 or so volts. Still, it's circuit is incredibly simple. It uses a few diodes, one transistor, one mylar capacitor, and some resistors. Meanwhile, yours is a monster! Word of advice: check the miliamperage, anything beyond 0.06 miliamps can kill. Of course, it depends on where you electrocute yourself. Fingers are safe (duh). If you want to lower the amperage, just solder on some more resistors. It's gonna heat up though. Oh, right, connect a bridge rectifier circuit to it. It will turn it into AC voltage. Because, you see, DC contracts your muscles causing you to "suck", while AC does the usual electrocution you see on TV which pushes you away. It's kinda like force pull and force push if you ask me :P

a bridge rectifier alone is NOT going to convert DC into AC, for that, you need to build something that switches polarity from + to- and - to + very quickly, like 60 times every second, that's how you get AC. The purpose of the bridge rectifier that you mentioned is to convert AC current into DC by ignoring ONE polarity and not ignoring another one, effectively getting rid of the "Alternating" properties of AC and getting a "Direct" property of Direct Current (DC). For example, if you solder a bridge rectifier (the section marked ~ and ~) to a line connected to your AC 120 volts outlet, on the Bridge Rectifier output (the one marked + and -) you will get 120 volts DC (Direct Current) for which you can use to power a high voltage DC motor or any other DC equipment that requires 120volts DC, you cannot use a bridge rectifier to do the opposite which is what you suggested (converting DC into AC), if you want to achieve a DC into AC conversion, you can build a commutator ( a device that rapidly reverses DC polarity by use of a spinning shaft connected to a DC motor with the appropriate differentials linked through two spooler (one bigger where the commutator rotates and the other smaller where the DC motor spins the load) you will need to calibrate the commutator to 60hz (60 cycles per second) to operate most 60hz AC electronics)

Wouldn't an inverter be an easier option to turn DC into AC.
I have one fitted in my work ute.
Turns 12VDC into 240VAC, with a 5kw capacity, though I think its a bit bigger than I really need , and besides ....
VA in = VA out...right,
so 5kw on 240 volts = (5000/240)Amps = 20.8 AMPs Secondary winding
5KW on 12 Volts = (5000/12) Amps = 416 Amps Primary winding.
I think my car battery would melt..... !!!
A commutator...? really...?

Wow man, 9-month old comment. You probably should realize that if comments were posted 3 months beforehand, the person(s) would have probably figured it out by then.
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction
so true. i would'nt be bothered to post by then.

I did a bit of digging, my bad, bridge rectifiers turn AC to DC, not the other way around. Although I soldered mine the wrong way and accidentally turned it into a 2x voltage multiplier! I'm not really all that sure why it's like that, but here's my failed bridge rectifier that actually doubles the voltage! Can anyone explain this to me? It has no logic to it in my mind; it's so weird!

Hello!
I have a question...
Can i have more voltage at the output?
How can i do that?
Its just because i want a bigger spark
And i saw on internet taser with 7.6 MILLION VOLTS!!
Its that possible?!!
Tank you!

So, does this make a constant spark, or only when you touch it to objects? Also what is the length of the spark?
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction
it makes a 'constant' spark. it will take a few mili second or so to 'charge up' when u press down on the button continuousy, very much like stun gun. When in contact with an object, no spark will be seen, as there will be contact between both terminals. The spark length is only around 1cm.

I built one of these things, but it has a couple of annoying limitations. Is there any way to make it give off a continuous arc or go through clothing? Otherwise, these ibles should be titled "dangerous shocking toys" instead of stun guns.

plzz just help me
when u add the 2 wires one black and one red
u connect one of each wire to the front of the mobile charger
then what do u do with the other 2 wires??
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction
red wire from bug killer goes to one wire of the moblie charger.
the black wires goes to the other wire of the mobile charger.
it will be an open circuit. only when u make the 2 point of the mobile charger get in contact with somethign or someone, then i'll discharge, or incapacitate them

Yeah totally not 2000 volts, on 3 volts this thing puts out 300 volts, and it looks an awful lot like mine, plus you straight out say that this is all your idea, i call copycat

what exactly do you mean 'short out the circuit' ?
