Question? THought for hours

[robotgangsta]

can like a metal ball be charged and shock anything it touches if so how long will it stay charged i know stupid question :roll:

 

[audioguru]

It depends on how well it is insulated and how much humidity is in the air.

 

[robotgangsta]

o ok im in villa rika its really really cold and i mean so when i take it off of whatever i charged it on it still can shock people(oh i changed my mind i want it to be a thin plate that i can sit or walk around and touch people with of course wearing rubber gloves or do u think i could make like a thick card shaped one like shaped like a cell phone battery and a charger if u have any ideas please tell me them or make a schematic for me please :lol:

 

[robotgangsta]

could i just modify the coil or stun gun schematic and use a transformer and doubler?(i think my post is detailed enough)

No, not really. A ball has very low capacitance and won't hold enough unipolar charge in itself.

A 2-terminal capacitor can hold a high enough voltage to shock, even injure someone and can hold the charge for a long time. It is not unipolar like a Van deGraff generator ball- someone must touch both terminals of the capacitor to get a shock. While many of us have charged up 200v caps and tossed them to somebody saying "here, catch!", that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

i dont want to use energy storing capacitors because i read that they are very dangerous. and i want it to be a card shaped figure like a tazer i want it to be just a rechargable battery like tazer

You really want to shoot charged ball bearings, don't you? :wink:

 

[Someone Electro]

It wod be much easyer to shot charged 0,1uF caps that are not dengerus.

 

[robotgangsta]

oh so that kind is not dangerous how do u think i could shoot the caps so that it would shock someone since both things have to be touched at the same time oh and ya i would like to shoot meytal ball bearings

 

[Styx]

Well you could get a ball-bearinging, cut a slice out of the centre making two hemisperes (but not quite) then put some dialecrict inbetween (pref poly) and slightly around the edge.

That way you have alot of bear mettle to make contact on the target BUT capacitve effect as well.

 

[robotgangsta]

when u say poly what do u mean polystyrene

 

[audioguru]

ya i would like to shoot metal ball bearings

A sling shot (with the rubber band) works pretty well. :lol:

 

[robotgangsta]

but i want it to shock someone

someone told me than i should hollow out it leaving a thin piece in the middle and fill it with poly then it should contain more voltage :roll:

 

[audioguru]

Inside the poly you must install a tiny DC-DC converter circuit running off a tiny hearing-aid battery. Don't exceed a few thousand volts or it will arc over the poly.
Wouldn't that scare people if the ball-bearing made big arcs? It would even make loud snapping noises. :lol:

 

[robotgangsta]

whats an arc oh and when i shout out the litle volts or sparks one thing when i shoot it will it instantly shock them upon contact because its not like it would stick to them shocking them and leaving me laughing my head off :cry:

 

[robotgangsta]

whats poly and do u think it would be cheap to build and how big i would prefer about the size of a quater(once again excuse my english please)

 

[robotgangsta]

if anyone makes a schematics or make this project it would be so cool if u do please post it with pictures

 

[audioguru]

An arc is a spark that jumps from one side of the ball-bearing to the other. Maybe you could plan the arcs so they cause the ball-bearing to spin.

You forgot about clothing. You must coat the ball-bearing with something that will dissolve clothing. You could even make the stuff sticky.
Coka-cola is sticky and will dissolve just about anything.

Now you say it must be the size of a quarter. A quarter of what? A bus? :?:

I think we are all laughing. :lol: :lol:

 

[robotgangsta]

will the spark shock them? a quarter i mean a quater like the money a quater what u buy stuff with in america

 

[robotgangsta]

and wont it burn there skin or the rubber band or whatever im shoting it on and my hands and the metal bearing?
