zapping people with disposable camera capaciters

[rhetor22]

remind me not to shock you

[Derman2k]

I'm very dumb when it comes to electronics...can someone explain how to do this in laymans terms?

I got a camera and I am pulling it apart. 1:30 in the morning and I am going to shock myself stupid. Boy I feel smart. Could we get diagrams?

[Smitty2k1]

STP rules, just thought I would comment.

I took apart one of those cameras once and the capacitor shocked the hell out of me. didn't hurt so much as it scard me. It scard me so bad a through my hand back against the wall and almost put a hole in it.

Ultimator, could the reason you got shocked so bad have anything to do with it raining and you being soaking wet at the concert??

Just wondering.

(P.S., i would have beat the crap out of him too)

we were on a class trip and a we shocked one of the kidz(who isn't exactly the smartest person ever)and well he had a huge blister come up on his hand were we shocked him, then he wanted to see it..... he then decided he would get back at all of us, but everytime he tried to shock one of us he would shock himself.... and on the way home he was sitting a few seats in front of us and we would hear "bzzzt.... s***" that was pretty funny...

Yeah that is exactly why, I guess I haven't really thought of that though. It hurt like crap and all the hair on my hand got zapped off and my friend had a pretty big bruise on the underside of his arm.

hahah

these things are fun. my friends are all ascared

My old electric shop teacher (like 10 years ago ugg) used to have this trinket on his desk to mess with ppl that touched the junk on his desk

Basicly ir was a capacitor that was suspended inside a insulatative gel like RTV and the leds were attached diffrent sides of a sheetmetal cube cut along its edges so it had 3 joined sides not contacting the other 3 joined sides.

It was amazing watching countless ppl walk in and have some mundane business only to get fried if they picked it up anyway other than from the safe corners.

if ya want a rough design lemme know

[rhetor22]

ag. principle took mine away

now i get a 4 day weekend to work on the truck

[AlabamaMan]

it's all about charging up capacitors in electroincs lab and then tossig them to people. Unfortunatly they will get the idea after the first time.

[MrMag]

well when i was a wee one, i tried to take a apart a disposable camera to see how it work, and i was using tweezers. it scared the poop outa me, then i continued doing it until my mom made me stop

Umm, an 80 uf cap will not kill someone. Maybe some bigger caps like 1 farad can, but definately not one out of a camera. It isnt big enough to store that much charge. Now at home my dad has a big 1 farad capacitor thats rated at 120v, that thing when fully charged will melt metal when you touch the leads.
