Tazer Glove

Intro: 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

STEP 2: Take Apart the Camera

This step varies with the different cameras so I can only give a general instruction for this part.

Steps:

1. Remove label, box, sticker, or whatever package the camera is wrapped in, so it is just bare plastic.
2. Find how the camera is held together most often it is small plastic latches around the camera, which can be bent open with a screwdriver.
3. Open the camera, and be very careful not to touch any of the circuitry.
4. Carefully remove the AA battery.
5. Discharge any current still in the capacitor by bridging the two leads with a metal screwdriver.
6. The circuitry is now safe to handle, so remove it from the camera casing.

STEP 3: Modifying the Circuitry

There are a few things on the circuitry that you need to identify before you do this step. The first is the capacitor which is the cylindrical thing, you should have discharged in the previous step. Other points of interest are the indicator LED light and the switch that is used to charge the capacitor.

Steps:

1. Unsolder the indicator LED, solder 2-3 inch wires to each of the LED's leads, and solder those wires back into the circuit. Simply put your just making a little extension cord for the LED.
2. Unsolder the capacitor attach short wires to each of its leads and put it aside for later.
3. Using a small piece of wire, bridge the switch that is used to charge the capacitor, so it will always be on.
4. I have finally replaced step 4 with a schematic
5. Solder in 2 10in. wires connecting them to the 2 wires you just soldered into the board. These wires will go to the fingers of the glove.

STEP 4: Making the Final Package

You will now place all the circuitry and wiring into the project box.

Steps:

1. Drill 4 holes on the top of the project box. 3 for the switches and 1 for the LED.
2. Glue the AA battery holder to the side of the project box, and drill 2 holes into the box for the wires from it.
3. Drill 2 holes on the side of the box for the wires going to the fingers.
4. Insert the different switches into each hole and securing them, make sure that the two switches for the capacitor are next to each other. (In the photo it is the two on the right)
5. Solder one of the wires from the battery holder to the remaining unused switch, then take a short length of wire and solder it from the other lead on the swtich to the correct polarity of where the battery was connected on the circuit board. Take the other wire from the external battery holder and solder it to the opposite polarity. It is a good idea to unsolder the metal clips from the circuit board that were used to hold the battery, and then solder the wires into the holes they were in.
6. Glue the LED into its hole, above the main power switch.
7. Feed the two 10 in wires through the holes on the side.
8. Put the circuit board inside the project box, and close it up. It will probably be a very tight fit, you may even need to trip down the sides of the board.
9. Check to make sure no wires are bridging, if they are wrap some electrical tape around them.
10. Close up the box.

STEP 5: 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.

Anyway to make this harm someone and leave them in a state of shock or out cold for about a couple of hours and if so is there a way to minimize the size of the circuit and housing

[put name here]

I would like to build this so no one ever messes with me at school

[The Black Python]

will you see sparks between your fingers or anything like that?

[cromamon123]

I want a circuit board that gives off enough volts to hurt but not have serious side effects

[boonbon398]

300 volts? heck no. I made my own that just stick it in a tiller engine spark plug, and you got yourself a defensive weapon that puts out a whopping 30,000.

[eva_maree_dixon]

Good god why would u do this

[chawkinson1]

Where can I get these items

[pyroninja21]

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

[XOIIO]

Porpuses?

[finton]

No, "porpouses". And not just any old ones either: these are seceret! :]

[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.

[finton]

Like I've always said: "if you want people to think you're intelligent, you have to sound intelligent". If txting takes to long for people to work out, they generally get annoyed at having to spend so much effort on a simple statement, or just won't bother. Just sayin'.

[ghostpotato]

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

[maurice4321]

Can i just use glue on the wires and circuit instead of soldering it ?

[survivorwolf]

Fun fact: these are super deadly ever hear of Ohm's law? well disposble cameras tend to have 300v capacitors in them. most people think well its amps that kill this is safe. NOT when you discharge that cap you discharge at near 0 ohms of resistance its about 1 picohms of .0000000001 ohms. well remember that ohms law i metioned earlier well ohms law is V (volts) = I (current) X R (resistance) V=IR well that means I=V/R current=volts over resistance do the math 300V/.0000000001 ohms= 3,000,000,000,000 amps .2 amps is lethal if this were to cross someones chest i could* kill them

* your skin has resistance and can prevent lethal amps but don't take that chance

[devicemodder]

swap the camera for one of these babies

[devicemodder]

this is a cold cathode inverter

[beastlyawesome]

if you were to brush your thumb and middle finger together while wearing this what would happen.
