The Infinity Shock Glove

unnamed.jpg

My group and I have made an electric glove with an infinity gauntlet twist to make it look funny. We came up with this glove as an idea of a self-defense tool, Many people have handheld tasers or pepper sprays but in reality, those things could just get knocked out of your hand, unlike a glove. For example, let's say you are walking alone at night and someone tries to rob you, you can defend yourself then. Another example is that other countries that don't have firearms like China, could use this glove as a weapon in case of anything. Of course, our glove is very weak and has low ampere power which is why we are here to present the idea and maybe others could make it stronger and actually an efficient tool.

Supplies

Material List:

  • A protective glove (insulated) or maybe an oven mitt in case of any fire that may happen
  • 3.7v 500mah Lipo Battery
  • A High voltage generator module 3v-6v 400kv
  • Epoxy putty for wires (not a conductor)
  • Wires with a wire stripper
  • An on and off switch
  • A push-button switch
  • Hot glue gun
  • Electric tape
  • Aluminum (we used from a can of soda)
  • Double-sided tape
  • Velcro (safety)
  • soldering iron
  • Multimeter for amps to see if everything is going through correctly (optional)

Safety

Be very careful with all components when making this project. Do not shock yourself on accident so keep everything off at all times and make everything shock-resistant and/or fire-resistant. Make sure everything is covered up.

We made sure to cover the exposed parts with electrical tape very tightly which I would advise. We also taped the main parts with tape so that they wouldn't come apart easily and even hot glued some parts. The last safety feature we added was the velcro for a quick release in case of any emergency.



Remember Safety comes first.

High Voltage Generator Module and Shocking Output

  1. Wire the receiving side of the High voltage generator module (two red wires) with two wires. Tie one of the wires around the other and then cover it with electric tape and do the same with both.
  2. Cut some pieces of an aluminum can and save it for a little.
  3. Roll the epox putty in a ball and squish it three times and then make it into a round base that will fit the aluminum for the shocking machine. Put the wires from step 1 underneath the aluminum pieces and then place them on the epox putty and let it dry. (This is the shocking machine)
  4. Tape the shocking machine to the palm of the glove with double sided tape.
  5. Tape the high voltage generator module onto the bottom of where your knukles would be at on the glove with double sided tape as well.
  6. Tape your lipo battery on top of the high voltage generator module with the wires facing to the two red wires that connect to the palm.

On and Off Switch

We must now connect the negative wire from the high voltage generator module onto an on and off switch.

  1. Cut the wires into a small piece where it is still connected and solder it to the switch.
  2. After you would want to continue soldering the other part of the wire onto the other side of the switch.
  3. Once it is soldered up hot glue the button inside of the high voltage generator module for easy accessibility.
  4. You could now check if it works by plugging in the red (+) and black (-) wires into the lipo battery, if it turns on it means it works.

You now have an operating on and off switch and an operating shocking glove that will turn off only if you either unplug the wires from the battery or by turning off the switch.


An Additional Push Button

If you would like a safer way and a more controlling contraction you could add a push button.

The way to install it is by:

  1. Connect the black wire (-) inside of the lipo battery and leave it inside.
  2. Next, connect the red wire (+) to another red wire by typing the ends together and covering it with electrical tape.
  3. Get the other end of that red wire that you just tied up with electrical tape and soldering iron to one of the ends of the push button.
  4. For the other end of the push button, you would want to solder iron another wire and connect the other part of that wire to the lipo battery.
  5. Make sure to hot glue the push button to where you feel would be the best place for you. In our case, we put it on the index finger so that we could push the button with our thumb with ease.

If you have done this correctly you can now power on the switch button and whenever you hold on the push button it will turn on. This is the final product that we have made and could use some touchups that you guys could do and you could also design it however you want.
