Never walk in fear with this one-evening project. It won't kill, but it is an effective way to say "Leave me alone!"
If you don't know what a electronic dazer is, it is like a stun gun (or maybe a tazer), but it does not stun people, it just gives them a unpleasant shock.
Unlike most other instructables that shows you how to build a tazer or a stun gun from a disposable camera, if you had a attacker right in front of you and want to stop the attacker attacking you, you need an electronic dazer, other instructables tazer is useless, you have to wait 30 seconds or more for the tazer to charge up and do you think you have enough time to stop the attacker getting you? No. So this where the electronic dazer comes in handy, it charges up less than a second and you have time to stop your attacker getting you...

This instructable involves modifying a device that operates on 300v DC, so I am NOT responsible if you injure or kill your self and/or any body else from any of your actions messing around this device. So be careful what you are doing, be safe and have fun!

Step 1: Get the Things!!
Okay, lets get started! Not many things are needed and heres the list...
- Disposable camera (any type will do)
- Some wires (I got mine from broken electronic devices)
- And a 1uF 400v electrolytic capacitor
- Some tape ( I used electrical tape)
- Flat head screwdriver
- Soldering iron/gun
- Wire strippers
- Wire cutters
Step 2: Hack Open the Camera!
Now this is going to be a fairly dangerous part, open up the camera and get the circuit out safely without getting shocked by the capacitor...
First, pry open the camera's case apart with a flat-head screwdriver or just use your hands if you like, but you are more likely to get shocked by the capacitor.
After you taken the camera's case off, discharge the capacitor with a insulated screw driver, and you may get a big loud spark, and after that, the capacitor is discharged... (Use a screwdriver you hate so much, because a fully charged capacitor will leave a scar on the metal part of the screwdriver!)
Great! You had done the dangerous step on this instructable!

Great! You had done the dangerous step on this instructable!
Step 3: Modification Time...
Right, we had done that dangerous bit and now it is time to modify the camera circuit...
This is a really simple modification (only if you are good with electronics), just take out the big 80uF capacitor out of the camera's circuit and put in a smaller 1uF capacitor in, and watch for their polarities! If the capacitor is connected to the camera's circuit incorrectly, they are likely to explode!
Ok, after that, solder the wires on the capacitor's leads like in the picture below...
And you had done the modification part!

Step 4: Putting It Back Together...
Ok, after you had done the modification on the camera's circuit, it is time to put it all back together...
Ok, put the modified camera's circuit back on the camera's frame. Remove the camera's lens because they will be in the way for the wires, and put the wires through the lens hole on the front camera's case. Put the battery back in the camera frame, and attach the camera's cases to the camera's frame.

Step 5: Set the Wires...
All right, last step...
I striped away about 1" or 2" of wire insulation and before I tape down the wires, I decide to measure how much voltage does my dazer gives out... And the result is 385 volts! Wow!
After that, I taped the wires on the end of the camera.

Step 6: And, Voila!
And voila! You are done, you had built a electronic dazer!
And remember, I am NOT responsible for any of your actions of using this electronic dazer.
This dazer should be used for educational use only, you could use it for your home self-defense but never try take it out to the public as it is illegal in most places.
I accidentally got shocked by my dazer on my hand and it left no ugly marks on my skin (like most other camera tazer would do) and it hurt me pretty bad!
