Hello. So I decided to construct an electric taser for my potato gun. The only schematic I was able to found is this (first). So I don't understand a few things:
1)What kind of transformer can I use? I've got few simple step-down transformers, but there aren't any audio transformers even in my local electronics shop. And what does "200k to 1k" even mean?
2)As I understand, the 555 timer controls the tasers spark. Is there a way I can control the spark with a switch?
3) (this is dumb one) Doesn't the spark short-circuits the circuit? Or not because of air huge resistance?
And maybe someone knows a better DIY taser schematic?
