Building Shocking Devices
I would like to build a shocking device similar to the prank 'gum' shocker
or the pens that shock you when clicked. This is for my class room experiment so it should be low power like the gags one can buy from gas stations. I know how to build a shocker from a set of points from a car but this has too much power. How do the trick gum gags work? Thanks in advance Greg |

I have a head full of equations for energy, induction, current, time, etc. but no practical knowledge of how to build something to deliver the results of the equation. Having taken the gum tricks apart, I have been unable to be able figure out how to build one in the small components used for the pranks. Is there any place you can direct me on the steps and materials involved in making one from scratch? Thanks for your input. Greg |

(Press the button and get a spark). |

Here's the one I had as a kid: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.e...ulated+jiggled http://groups.google.com/group/sci.e...6?dmode=source If you used an oscillator/buffer, you'd have to use a flywheel diode to make sure the active device didn't get killed. |

There is a book (101 spy gadgets for the evil genius) that gives
instructions on building a shocking device from a disposable camera. It works quite well and the power of the shock depends on the voltage input. The book should be available from Amazon. |
