Hi,

Thanks for this.

When you say "for the delivery" are you referring to the delivery of the
shock. As I stated the shock is to be delivered through my finger so my
hands will be completely empty ie. no wires up my sleeve. I was hoping to
attach the unit to another part of my body.

The only thing I can think of that might work like this would be a
"van der graaf"(not sure on spelling) generator, which would normally
be hooked up to a hollow metal sphere and charges it with static
electricity. Coming close enough to the sphere would cause a spark
from it to you that can hurt a bit but it isn't dangerous AFAIK. After
the initial shock, you can move closer still to touch it and become
charged yourself. Maybe you could remove the sphere and just hook the
electron generator up to yourself? The only problem being it would be
obvious you're charged (hair standing on end and things like that).

Also, I know nothing about this kind of thing, its just something I
remeber a physics teacher showing the class. I don't know how well it
could be adapted to your purpose or how safe it is.

I have found some plans for this device now. Thanks for your help with this
though.

I may get back to you all though, as the instructions to wind the custom
transformer are a little bewildering.

I know virtually nothing about electronics myself, but would like to
point out a good general precaution when playing with elctricity -
never let if flow through your chest area.

Someone who knows more about this might want to tell me if it doesn't
apply in this case (Eg. too little current to be of concern), or
whatever. But I though it would be best to see some discussion on
possible risks before, rather than "after". You don't want to stop
your heart and THEN wonder whether it was a good idea. :-)

Hi All,
I have heard that the heart requires just 3 mA across it to stop,
but I think that would depend on the timing of the pulse (where the heart is
cycling) and how much voltage, ie, 3mA @ 200mV won't do it, but maybe 20+
volts might. I've personaly had heaps of 240V AC blasts and I am fine (apart
from the shakesssss, the Turettes F*** Syndrome, wandering off topic (do
you know that rain is moist?) Inability to judge parenthithees ))())))) and
spilling problems with words over 17000 letters

Any device designed to shock, like an electric fence, uses around 6KV, but
at a miniscule current. I even got bitten once by 25KV from the ultor cap in
a TV, had a break in the wire.
