PROJECT 19Camera Flash Taser
THIS PROJECT SHOWS you how to turn 1.5 volts (V) into almost 400 V, creating a hand-held device capable of charging high-voltage capacitors or delivering a low-current high-voltage shock. Using only the tiny circuit board from a cheap disposable camera, you can step up the voltage from a single AA battery to a level that is three times higher than the voltage coming out of your AC wall outlet! Of course, the output current is extremely low, but make no mistake—the high-voltage output from this handheld taser/zapper is painful enough to make anyone jump up to the ceiling.
