So... we were having a conversation at
work about what your super power would be if you, a normal human, decided to try and fight crime like Phoenix Jones. I
had decided that I'd use my staff along with some home-made tech. First order of business would be gloves that could taze people. I got some laughs at that. So i decided to make a set that actually work.
**EDIT** Since posting this i have switched out the momentaries with SPST switches. Now i don't have to hold down a button to recharge. Plus, I am already working on plans for version 2. They will be more stable and less ghetto looking. Altoids tins are a gift from the Gods, but project boxes are better.
Parts:
Several discarded disposable cameras (Thanks Walgreens!)
AA batteries
2 altoids tins
Dollar store dog collars
Some rubberized fishing gloves from Wal-Mart
2 single pole single throw momentary switches
solder
wire
tools
Outlining the Altoids tin
Holes for the finger contacts to come through
Momentary switch to charge he capacitor
The whole setup nice and snug
Test fit
Looking good!
Individual finger contact
Hand showing finger contacts
Both on
Palms up
I think if i added bigger capacitors or a bank of them, i could get that "knock you unconcious" effect, but just disabling you with high voltage is enough for me now.
Some video of it in action:

I would love to try and make these. Are there more detailed instructions for us less tech savvy? If not could we possibly get a set? That would be amazing!
Where is the video showing how it works on people? You need sustained power not just a single arc.
Just use a project box with two prongs. Did it in high school--less complex and easier to conceal.
Those squeeze to power emergency flash lights you find at dollarstores comes to mind real quick!!! I pick them up all the time... Now i know what to do with them!!!
