I made the stun gun detailed on this site, but only had a 2k-4k transformer, giving my 12vac. But I have a lot of 1n4006s and cheap ceramics, so I added a voltage multiplier, which generated 170v apparently. I touched it on purpose, not expecting it to do very much, but it gave me a suprisingly large shock. My hands were sweaty at the time (trying to force those big 4000 series leads into breadboard :lol: ), so that might have gone toward it. How many of us have been shocked here? It seems that nearly all of you have :lol: . Probably best to learn from it though on something quite harmless like this I reckon, realise how quickly electricity can get you.
