Easy Cattle Prod Tazer

I modified this from other Instructables, but it is good. I couldn't be stuffed pulling it apart, and sorry I couldn't get smaller images so I hope ur Internet is fast.

It took me a couple of hhours to build, but thats cause i was being cautious/lazy. With this instructable you wont have to worry you're pretty little head about anything, and if you do,
please write a comment about it.

It is a good idea to read this instructable FIRST, before you attempt this dazzeling feat of excellence

Tools and Materials

You Will Need:

Tools:
A soldering iron and solder
A hot glue gun and glue sticks for it
tools like pliers, scissors, ect
Electrical tape

Parts:
A disposable camera with flash (preferably kodak)
A pice of PVC pipe about 30cm long, with a 90 degree bit at the end.(I found them already joined in my garden, i cleaned out the inside)
A switch that can be recessed into the pipe
A temperary connection switch (I used one from a laser pointer, not reccomended)
Some relatively thick cardpoard (I used pizza box)
Two Tacks for a pinup board (thease will be the objects of PAIN
A 1.5 volt battery holder
electrical wire (needs to be thick, and preferably figure eight

I know all of thease parts sound difficult to find, but if youre a ewlectronics neard like me, you'l find them lieng around in you're workshop. If you are desperate of just feeling evil, you can cannablise parts from other electronic devices.

Extracting the Chip

DemoCamera2[1].jpg
get you're friend the camera, and rip off its clothes. then use a screwdriver or whatever to undo the tabs on the sides(you'l figure it out). then, once the tabs are undone, carefully remove the top half of the case, and throw it awy. you wont need it. then take a screwdriver, and remove the battery, make shure the screwdriver is insulated, cause to discharge the capacitor (battery looking thing) ul need it. touch the screwdriver between the two wires coming out of it. it should spark and go zzzap.

take the chip out and you should end up with something like this

Cleaning Things Up

there is a flash attached to the chip, right? Carefilly remove it and chuch it in the bin! be shure not to damage its connections too much.

Then, there should be three connections that went to it. two connected to the capacitor's prongs (through the board), and one to a coil. solder a longish piece of fig. 8 wire ('bout a fot and a half) to the negative pong of the capacitor, and the transformer.

(sorry again ive got no pics)

Then, there are two pieces of metal running paralell from the board out that are touched together by a mechanism when the photo button is pressed. solder another length of fig. eight, one wire to each contact. then, on the other end of the fig. eight solder the temporary connection switch.This is going to be you're trigger

Cleaning Things Up Pert 2

the battery contacts may be soldered in to the board, if so, remove them and replace them with one wire that runs to you're battery pack, the other running from the battery pack you need to solder the fick switch to, and then another wire that runs back to the other contackt on the board.

Putting It in Case

get you're pipe and solder/ glue things as shown in picks

the chip goes into the base of the pipe, the button goes on top, and the switch goes below.

as for the capacitor, put it inside the chip tf it will fit

Solter each contact from capacitor/coils to the base of a thumbtack, then poke twin holes about 1 cm apart to let the ends through. glue the tacks in place on the underside, then glue the cardboard on the end.

For the cardboard, use a pen to trace around the end and then cut it out with scissors

You're Ready to Test!

try testing it!

DISCLAIMER the information i have just given out can be used to make a potentially dangerous device, and I will not be held responsable for jackasses that go and kil someone with a pacemaker. I dident hurt any human beings with my tazer, and neither should you.

Also, you can try wireing two capacitors in parelell. It takes longer to charge, but it delivers over twise a spark... and a jolt!
