Homemade Stungun…

Heard physics lecturer mentioned about using transformer to produce very high voltage as part of the mechanism of stungun. I was wondering how it works and think that it is possible to make it myself. Searched around google for a few seconds and got this stuff o.O Wonder if it really works and will the shock make you faint?? Tell me if you tried it out haha.
I ported the instructions from http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/181/48/ to my blog for easier view. You may find out other stuffs there if you are interested but I don’t really look around the page.

A homemade stun gun is quite an easy hardware hack, all that is required is;

1)A disposible camera (Perferibly a Kodak one)

2)Soldering Iron

Step 1)First off, take off the protective plastic case of the camera.

Step 2)Remove the battery so you don’t shock yourself.
Step 3)You’ll see a little light bulb about 3/4 inch long. Carefully remove that with out destroying anything.

Step4) You should see two pieces of copper on both sides of the bulb.(see picture, Red Circles) Solder one wire on to each one of these, not together.

Step5)Slap the battery back in and hold down the button, touch the wires to desired object and watch the sparks fly!
Safety Issues

Because this isn’t very safe and you have a chance of getting shocked, (personal experience) an easy way to make a protective case is to.
Step1) Cut apart the hard plastic inside of a “Five Star” binder. The tough plastic is very flexible and and can just be glued together.

Step2)Cut to fit the stungun inside.
Step3)Glue together. Don’t forget to cut a hole for the button, cardboard works as a good depressor so you don’t have to make direct contact with the button. Also slapping a cut up rubber glove over the stungun adds extra protection.
