Uncle Rusty sez:
- Acquire two disposable flash cameras.
These can be obtained almost anywhere disposable cameras are processed,
generally free for the asking.
- Pry apart the camera shell.
Careful, there is a charged capacitor inside!
- Remove the battery.
- Use a screwdriver to arc across the two leads of the capacitor.
(So you don't get shocked during the build.)
- Remove the flash with a soldering iron.
- Remove the little press button that charges the flash.
(It should be held on by a piece of tape.)
- Solder one wire to the center and one on the outside contact of where
the button just was.
(This is going to be for your charge switch.)
- Bend the long copper piece next to the capacitor over to the shiny
chrome piece above it and then solder them together.
- Solder a lead to each side of where the flash was.
(Make the leads long as they go to your contacts.)
- Pull apart a second camera.
Remember that charged capacitor.
- Discharge this capacitor with a screwdriver just like the previous
one.
- Remove this capacitor from the camera with a soldering iron.
- Solder this capacitor to the other making sure that the leads with
the white stripe (negative) are together.
- Now all that you have to do is find some good bits of metal to attach
to the 'tazer' leads and to the fingers of the glove.
- Place the circuit board in a non-conductive enclosure.
To arm the device:
- Insert battery.
- Touch leads from button area together.
- Wait for little light to shine
- Find an unsuspecting friend.
Standard disclaimer. We've given reasonably
accurate instructions on how to turn a couple of cameras, a glove, and
a bit of wire into an effective tazer-like device. Obviously this can
be dangerous - so can a tazer. Treat them the same way, and remember everything
you do is at your own risk. After all, would you really trust us? |
