That sounds like a really good idea. Where do you get them from? My local electronics store only sells ones that discharge at about 230V. Sorry to keep asking questions but you obviously know what you are talking about
Using a multimeter and charging up an electrolytic capacitor which isn't happy about being over charged?
I'm using plastic/foil capacitors which are rated to 1000V not the 300V electrolytics from a camera. I'm also using spark gaps which are set to only jump at specific voltages. So if the spark gap is functional the voltage is there.
If you use a multimeter just the drain from the meter itself can screw up the reading from the circuit.
Thanks yeah I was already using bigger caps. I actually worked out there was a sort of feedback that used a zener diode so the voltage couldn't go over a set level (apparently about 340V). Maybe it is a new safeguard because too many people are trying to make tasers out of them :). Cutting it off the board fixed the problem.
Did you have trouble setting up the spark gap? I am considering just using an SCR instead because it seems pretty tedious setting the gap to exactly where it needs to be.
Oh yes, hell of a problem with a manual spark gap. I use manufactured ones now which are reasonably precise about the voltage they arc at. Also they don't burn out and die nearly as fast as an open air gap.
Your average camera flash capacitor is massive by comparison.
They are aroundabout 80-120uf
It's much much smaller for a reason, try seeing if you can get a 10-120uf electrolytic capacitor charged and discharged to its full 300+V 20 times a second from AAA batteries.
The energy in the 0.22uF capacitor is sufficient as you can see.
i dont understand how u r pulsing the 3v for it to be transformed, i see u used a diode to charge the cap, and where did the second transformer come from?
The 3v -> 600v stage is entirely a camera flash board. It uses a small oscillator circuit attached to a small transformer to do that.
The second transformer is a small ignition coil.
You could use a large ignition coil. I cannot exceed 60kv with this coil because it is too small. Trying to make a longer spark just causes it to spark across its own body as that is a shorter path than through the stretched spark gap.
Don't put a schematic, or all the teenager will die themself or kill someone.

did you only use a small ferrite 5 pin transformer, capacitator, and ignition coil (& battery) ? Did you use any resistors or diodes?

Wait, how did you get 3V to be 600V and how did you get 600V to be 60KV? What step up transformer did you use? self coiled?

@Flea5000000000, the higher the voltage the safer it is, if the the source remains the same. It's current that is dangerous.

That spark looks more like ~7,500 volts.
Cool that it has no timer.

It's a small ignition coil, found on some motorbikes, quad bikes, mini motos and so on.
Ratio is about 1:100 primary:secondary

Maplin does some if you have a rummage in their catalogue under the Polypropylene section of their capacitor section.
About £2-3 each.

Did you modify the camera board in any way? Even with 6v input the max I can get out of it is 340v
saximus666 2 years ago
And how do you know it only puts out 340v?

What size capacitor are you using in place of the regular one on the camera board?
saximus666 2 years ago
Umm.... *fishes about in a box*
220NF or 0.22uf
Your average camera flash capacitor is massive by comparison.
They are aroundabout 80-120uf

drumstick9000 2 years ago
Exactly how all the other *I made a stungun/tazer* videos did it.
I made it from a disposable flash camera.
Except I didn't just solder two wires to a capacitor and poke people with it -_-
1) Camera flash board charges the capacitor
2) Capacitor charges up to a high enough voltage to jump the small spark gap
3) The spark gap completes the circuit to discharge the capacitor through the coil.
4) ~60Kv spark is generated from the HV output of the coil
