Project: Simplest shocker - Page 6 - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

audioguru · 31st July 2006, 02:51 PM

For an unknown reason (maybe because he is just a little kid) he wants to be a shocker. He wants a big spark to come from his finger to shock other people around him. I presume that he doesn't want to feel the shock himself.

Do you think he should carry around a Van de Graff generator to do this??

Electronically, can a high voltage generator circuit shock somebody with only a single wire?? Then maybe the other "wire" can be capacitive coupling to ground by the circuit and the person receiving the shock??

LOLOL! A Van de Graff generator toted around in a backpack!! A Tesla coil would do well too. He can wear one of those chef's carving gloves made of chainlink mesh. Let's hope his first victim doesn't have an implanted pacemaker!!

In my opinion pulsed DC is NOT AC, AC stands for alternating current, i.e. it flows one way then another, it alternates. If you have pulsed DC then the current flows one way and since the load resistance does not vary but the voltage drops then the amount of current flowing reduces but does not reverse direction as with AC whereby the potential goes below 0V and the current begins to flow in the opposite direction.

You are quite entitled to your opinion, but how does applying a DC shift to an AC waveform suddenly prevent it from being AC? (likewise, how does simply passing it through a capacitor 'magically' make it AC again?). In BOTH cases electrons flow in alternating directions, it's only how far each way, with regard to a specific reference point, they flow that changes.

Well a trasformer will be hapy whith pulsed DC or AC so dosent mather.Its basicly the same thing exspet pused DC has a ground lower for half of its amplitude.

I'm trying to make a shocker, but I don't know what components to use.
For the scheme below, using a 9V source, what should I use? =/

I bought my daughter a pack of three disposible cameras when she went away with some friends, and I asked for them back when I had them developed - quite good fun!.

belive him

HELL of muthu fu@#$%* shock

actually dude "Adios" means( To God )

all that is good ..like "Aloha" in Hawaii whitch also means hellow so to adios

( it's more a blessing for coming's and going's)...not Goodbye which by the way goodbye means good riddins in a nice way as in goodbyes are forever...(there's no blessing )

as for Hasta la vista which if youre spanish teacher (from spain )where from another part of the world would understand it completely by it's meaning which is "Until the next time we see eachother" not meet , but see ...Hasta Luego means until later ....the No Problemo sound's like the (some not all) Racest

LOL! I am in my 60's but you lads remind me of when I was young, a little devil mind you. I was 12 at the time and I put together an old fashioned electric bell with a battery and push button switch. Wires led out of a mysterious box for the unsuspecting.
I pressed the button and rang the bell and then invited kids in the play ground to try and ring the bell by holding hands between the wires of course. They tried but could not ring the bell. So I suggested licking their hands and trying again but this time I pressed the button.

Teachers eventually caught me and that was that, but good fun while it lasted!

Well...

If you can get a high voltage generator (few kV) with very low current, you can connect it to a small (smaller than A4) pad of foil sandwiched in THICK (>1mm) polyethene. If you keep that close to your skin and have nice thick shoes, you can charge yourself up. (You form a capacitor with the foilpad.)

Anyone you touch gets a nasty shock. And don't tell me this doesn't work- Because I built and have one running prefectly fine. (15kV is fun stuff!)

Hero999 · 21st January 2007, 10:25 AM

But don't you shock yourself as well?

Firnagzen · 22nd January 2007, 08:22 AM

Yep, you do. But I don't mind the shock, if not, I just carry a small screwdriver to tap people with. With a nice sharp one, I can get sparks up to 1cm long, which is quite fun to watch!

audioguru · 22nd January 2007, 03:47 PM

I can get a nice fat spark nearly 1cm long with the piezo spark thingy from a lighter.

Sceadwian · 23rd January 2007, 03:03 AM

The shock is both bearable and actually not too bad if you're expecting it. It's like a punch in the face if you don't know it's coming though =)

HiTech · 23rd January 2007, 03:41 PM

I'll see your piezo ignitor and raise you with my high energy discharge ignition coil!
