Homemade cattle prod

[TerrorDrone]

gonna try and make me a cattle prod completey out of stuff bought at the dollar store

That sounds like fun, do you have a diagram so it can be replicated.

Hey McGyver, pics or it didn't happen! Lol! But seriously, a list of parts and some pictures would be awesome!

Do you have many cattles that need a good prodding? Sound's like an interesting project, get some video of self tests

[PHLAK]

He just needs to intimidate some physicist to pick up some cans.

pic will be up soon didnt get to finish it yet
list of parts though

2 conductive bolts
a small electric fan
a disposable camera
solder and wire

the main part is really just the camera flash charging circuit minus the flash cap as that puts out alot more volts but take longer to charge just ran the new leads off of where i cut the cap off should get around 2000v the rest of the parts where for the switch and housing for the circuit board
hopefully it will work

ok here is the update i got it to work for about 2 zap and now the voltage output has drop a alot
tried new batteries still low out put
think it might be the fact that i used a pretty low budget (everything bought a dollar tree)camera for the charging circuit
maybe a better quality camera might do the trick
ill have to do more testing but this was just to pass some time till my avr programming shit came in
and UPS just dropped it of
i got the idea and plans from a book i got for my most recent b-day a little while back
here is the link to the site

ill try to remember to bring my copy to the oct meeting( sept is meeting is on my away team weekend at work so i wont be around) so anyone can look thru it

[TerrorDrone]

ok i got the cattle prod pretty much done (found out the cheap step-up coil was not meant for rapid fire) and with a little reverse engeineering (very little)and some google-fu was able to isolate the componets in the circuit which make it work next step is to perf board my own circuit to make a more sleek more sexy version of it and want to add a pot to the circuit to make it have adjustable output
after that its off to the flea markets and junkyards in an attempt at making a bargain bin laser range finder

Must have missed you + the prod at the Oct meeting. Are you going to bring it to the Nov meeting?

the cheap step up transformer got fried during rapid firing and i haven't replaced it yet
working on a laser listening device now that i hope to have ready for nov or dec meeting
one day i'll put the ps3 controller down and do the schematics for the cattle prod and post it on here
