I wonder if you can take out the circuitry and hook it up to a 9 volt without ftying anything and will it still work, Might make a bigger shock.

That might make it charge faster, but the capacitor is what makes the magic. Put a bigger capacitor or an extra one in it and then you're in business.

Nope. The cap discharges at a fixed voltage. Might charge faster if you used a 9v though.

edit: damn you dr boost. you beat me to it.

OMG a charged capacitor. I used to have fun with these at work at a photocenter. I would stick them out on the floor and watch my peers clean up and shock themselves. Did you see that bull and taser video... all that was was a giant capacitor... notice how it ran out of power and the bull got right up.... PS. Another sick trick is to put a quarter on a 9 volt. It will get really hot. Then flick it and watch people try to pick it up. Or just lick the 9V While your at it bend a paperclip into a U and stick it into a socket and you will definetly r0x0r

So wait, BIgger capacitor, 9V battery, and you get a bigger shock, nice, so what happens if you use this method with lets say 3 big capacitors, and 3 9V batteries each charges its own capacitor.

well, you could eventually end up with this

Who gets touched by it will have x's in there eyes cartoon style and really curly hair.

martin you can get caps at forest city surplus in the audio part for any where from $0.25->$2

What kind though? I would just get one big one powered by 2-3 9V batteries, I have some electronic background but now when it comes to building weapons.

I'm going to go get a disposable camera this week and then hit up the electronics store to see what I can come up with.

I made one of those when i was in grade 7, i had it in my pocket and when i went to go pull it out my hand got stuck in there and i almost passed out, hahahaha.

Ps, that guy in the video was a ******, nice laughs.
