110 to door bell?
I have some neighbor kids who ring the door bell, then haul ass.
I'd like to wire it, so when they push the bell, they get shocked. How do I wire a live wire to the buzzer? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks in advance. A shock? That's the best you can do? You must be in fourth grade, right? A real man would wire the doorbell so that it activates a trap door above a pool of boiling acid. Or a scythe that slices the perps legs off at the knee. |

Do you think you'll be able to write us from prison when you electrocute a kid, a postman, a deputy sheriff or any one of a dozen different people who might legitmately ring your bell? Criminal and civil liabilities abound. In other words, besides going to jail, you'll have to file for bankruptcy if you're lucky enough to kill someone. Just in case you aren't a troll, a 110VAC connection to a doorbell can be quite lethal if the person's standing in a puddle or is holding onto a grounded metal screen door with one hand so the shock passes through the chest. Get a motion sensor and a sprinkler controlled by electrically operated valve (X-10 is great for this). When they approach your front door, the sprinkler valve is energized and they get soaked before they ever reach your door. Works great on dogs and cats ****ting on your lawn and won't get you a manslaughter beef if you accidentally soak the postman. You can get creative and spray other types of liquids with the right equipment. Probably the best thing to do is to put in a CCTV cam to get some footage of them to show their parents, but these days, parents aren't likely much to care even if you show them video of their kids smashing your car with a hammer. If they're pushing your buttons now, soon they'll be up to worse mischief. I just bought a Taser because some drunken moron was pounding on the door the other day, thinking he was two houses down from where he lived. Oh, how I would have liked to give him 80KV for 30 seconds and shock some sense into him. Always keep a tire iron wiped of your prints in a plastic bag near the door so that you can arm any intruder just in case. Knock some dents in the door with it, too, to make sure it was clear he took some serious swings at you and you were in fear for your life.

Thanks in advance. 1) Go down to your nearest farm supply store and buy a low cost electric fence charger. A proven technology with little aftereffect on the protagonist. Take the button out of the circuit, of course. 2) Connect your door bell to an X10 device to turn on the porch (whatever) light. Try to avoid the temptation to use a hidden blasting cap instead. 3) Install multiple phony door bell buttons, some lighted, others not. 4) Place a sticky coated mat where the perp would stand to push the button. Roofing tar is cheap... Have fun. Joe |

Our doorbell broke soon after we moved here in 1981. Fixed it for a year but it broke again (power surge) last June. People that know us know to come to the side door anyway. Probably won't replace it again. |

You can get a camera from HF http://www.harborfreight.com/weather...ion-47546.html The camera, coupled with an $11.00 video card, allows you to record everything that happens at your front door. With this evidence, you can let your state government electrocute the miscreants (or stick 'em with a needle, or whatever). |

Years ago I recorded a friends 180lb Malamute barking and when the tape was slowed to its lowest speed, it sounded like the biggest, baddest, most terrifying monster one could imagine. Something like that triggered by the door bell button might work on the kiddies. TDD |

One gal we lived near had a very busy daughter who pulled pranks on us neighbors continually. She was a smart kid, but a bit of a hellion, as they say. Her poor Mom was always grounding her, spanking her and later on, hiding the keys to the car. The girl is now a full Colonel in the military and is being considered for a General rank. Her mother enjoys telling people that she'll one of the privileged few who can brag about having spanked the butt of a General. Mark |

I had a night light plugged into the 110V outlet on the front porch. The kids kept stealing them, I finally covered the sides with grease from the grease gun, and it lasted until I wired the porch lights with a motion detector. I think I also might have glued it, I don't remember if I did that our not. I thought about running some small wires from the prongs to the side but decided I'd probably better not do that. The motion detectors wired to the porch lights and the lights under the carport seem have solved a lot of problems. |

I had a coworker who had dogs getting into his garbage can.
He wired it up, 220 I think. It did kill the dog. But it turned out it was his own dog. |
