In today's episode we learn how to make a simple and cheap pocket taser, not only is the project easy, but is extremely effective
But also, to prolong the life of the taser, there is an extra step on my instructables page, so here is the link,

Scared the shit out of me. I thought my graphics card was dying.
So true dude…
same
Same here man! Had to backtrack a few times in the video to be sure.
Me too.
Devon Greene I thought the same......then i thought subliminal messages XD
it's sad this flies way over most people's heads. your videos really deserve more views. brilliant
I agree. I think people should be educated way more on electronics.
Advice on your soldering technique: use a flat tip on your 'iron' when soldering to a piece of metal larger than that found on a circuit board, like the electrical contact on the micro switch. Also heat the bottom side (flat) of the contact metal, then apply the solder from the opposite side (a bit of liquid flux applied to the contact before touching the iron would be helpful, even if your solder is 'eutectic' and rosin core). Allow the solder to melt and flow to the iron on the other side. The desired amount of solder will not form a ball, only a thin skin on the contact surface then a slightly thicker 'blob-ette where the wire joins the contact. Less (solder) is more (a better) connection.
I decided it needed more volts so I used my car battery ... Tased my Yorkie now he's a freaking Pikachu
thats like 3 Volts more xD
@Jeremiah Bullfrog BIG BRAIN🧠
@Jeremiah Bullfrog well, since your big brain, how bad would the stun gun hurt someone?
You are kidding..... right?
Why the hell did this become an argument. It was obviously a joke, and even though it was uneducated, it was still pretty enjoyable
Hey guys! I highly recommend you look at the instructables I made linked in the description, I changed the design a bit to keep it from overloading!
Keystone Science , i liked this project, but the instructibles website doesn't allow to download the steps as long as you're not a pro user, i didnt really want to pay for that, and i only have limited time to memorize all the steps, it would be much better if you could post a link for us to download a PDF copy of what you wrote on instructibles, just an opinion though
+George Lain yeah I wouldn't pay for that either, i did not know instructables did that, sorry about that :P
Keystone Science is it possible to multiply everything by two exept the switch ofcourse, or would it only take 1 9v battery if so how much of battery life would it reduce ?
$5 taser IF you have the right stuff. So, its gonna run how much?
If all you need is the momentary you are still under $5 assuming you can get the electronic device with free shipping. If you need to buy all of the construction tools..... well, that is your investment.
This raises me two questions...
1. How much of a threat is this device?
2. How long does the battery last?
its not a threat
@@mtib2721 touch it to your eye and say that.
@@mtib2721 untill you buy 2 and series the output? lol
Dude your videos are so well explained :). Thank you, helps me alot
Dude, your a genius. Tasers are illegal in Canada and I needed one for a homemade potato gun out of PVC pipes that I'm making. This is a very cheap, but a pretty damn good alternative
I take them off of Old barbecue grills I find all the time that's the way to go that will give you plenty of spark the type that have to push button spark igniters they take like a single double a battery
I love watching videos on diy electric devices like this
Wow this channel is growing real fast! 20k to 100k in only a few months!!! Your gonna hit 1 mill pretty soon
Nah
you are by and large the most useful yourtube DIYer i have seen to date.
a lot of the stuff i watch and try to do is forging and such, this, however is simple and cheap. a lot of your designs can be easily changed around for a few applications. and again, this is coming from a guy with zero background in electronics. just a hungry mind.
+Daniyel Ortiz thank you!!! :D stay curious !
Hey Keystone! Just wondering, how badly would it affect the booster if the two terminals started apart, but were then brought within arcing distance? Because you said that having the terminals too far apart could damage it
Bro.....you're awesome ur videos are much more detailed
This is very cool ...Thanks for making this video
This was a great tutorial can't wait to make it.
Thanks! Enjoy your taser! If you want , I recommend that you use a smaller push button momentary switch, I went back and used one and it looks and feels a lot more professional :D
Bro you should have way more subs. You make great videos :)
Nice video. Thanks!
Just to answer a few questions about the 400KV boost modules: I've personally bought these a couple times, theyr fun. I even disected one that i acidently killed. First, they actually put out about 30kV Max. You can calculate this by the spark distance. Second, they have a single transistor driving a boost transformer folowed by a voltage multiplier 3x i think, my transistor was labled C3746, a NPN rated 6A 100MHz. The secondary seams to be electrically isolated from the primary. There are 3 HV caps wired in series with a bleader resistor across the whole thing. Thats good for most ppl since they will discharge themselves when not in use to be safer.
Now for the info on how easy it is to kill these things:
The main HV caps are severly under rated for the job they have to do. Any atemp to let this thing run WITHOUT discharging before the voltage climbs too high WILL damage / destroy the caps, killing the unit. These units are basically built skeliton style, but then encased in epoxy, no actual circuit board in them. Letting them run too long can over heat the internal components and damage them. I would think the most heat sensitive parts would be the transformer windings, the transistor, or the voltage multiplier diodes.
Now if your nice to these units, they will give you lots of fun, dont try and bring the leads too far away to get the biggest spark you can, let them spark before the voltage climbs too high, and dont run them too long at a clip. I'd keep the spark about an inch or shorter and the duty cycle under 50%

Ummm i have a doubt..... I mean will it hurt or work as a taser? As they output very less current ig so is it still dangerous?
@@naveengupta5588 itll sure hurt. but i wouldnt use these ones on ppl.
@@kraken767 yes yes ofcourse
The article says the converter is rated for 3-6V input. Is the current draw reducing your battery's voltage enough to put it into that range? Would you use one or rather two LiPo cells as a substitute? Thanks!
Does the "Power Converter" that you used in the video also have an input of 3v-6v like the one in your link?
I was wondering if a 9v battery would burn out the 3v-6v converter..
Also, did you measure to see what the final output was in terms of voltage and amperage (mA)? I know the converter *says* 400,000v but that's contingent on the input..
If you research stun guns you'll see a lot of conflicting information. They're marketed mostly by advertising the voltage strength, but then supposedly 30,000v is the maximum voltage that can jump across contacts spaced 1cm apart because of "physics" or whatever. Some sources say that its true strength is the microcoulombs: µC, or "charge", other sources say it's the mA, or "current":
Below 1 mA Not perceptible
1 mA Threshold of feeling, tingling
5 mA Slight shock. Not painful. The average individual can let go. Involuntary reaction can lead to indirect injuries
6-25 mA (women) Painful shocks. There is a loss of muscle control
9 to 30 mA (men) Freezing current, "can't let go". The person may be thrown away from the power source. An individual cannot let go. The active involuntary reaction can lead to unintentional injuries.
50 to 150 mA Extreme pain. Respiratory arrest. Muscles reactions. Possible Death.
1 to 4.3 A There is fibrillation of the heart. Muscular contraction and nerve damage occur. Likely death.
10 A Cardiac arrest, severe burns. Death is probable
So I'm curious to see how this measure up to the real thing
when i made one and tested it on me and my friends i'd say it goes to the 5mA in your comment
Is it ok to use 9 volts on the converter rated 3v-6v? %100 genuine question! Does it make it more powerful or is it just convenient and works? Or is there another generator I should get?
I made one of these recently, but the arc was a max of 3 mm. Am I doing something wrong, or is the boost converter just a dud?
Do the boost converters come wired already, The red & green and the two nice shiny red zappers?
And thanks for the video it was awesome to make !
+goobyman no problem! If you want, in the description of the video there is a link to an instructables, basically I changed it up a little bit to make it look nicer and have a longer life :D
Instead of buying a boost converter. Most hobbyists use a relay set as a buzzer. Take the EMP from the coil then through a capacitor/resistor lattice to boost the pulse into the crazy voltages you need.. Others use a flyback transformer from a CFL bulb.
Did you get the switch from an old microwave? I recognize it from when I took one apart.
I suppose if you wanted to make it a little more reliable, you could add a recessed slide switch to act as a safety, then enclose the battery in some kind of housing and leave it attached. That battery could get knocked loose pretty easily in a scuffle in its present state.
This channel is so cool
Brilliant
My converter makes a very wimpy spark almost like a piezoelectric bbq ignition. Is it burned out?
cool stuff
What would you use the boost converter for beside an emp or taser?
its funny because i have made one of those using the same boost converter. but i used some big Heatswring tube over the converter and the button
lol. you're SO smart.
I thought you were building voltage amp circuits, but I suppose buying it is easier if its cheaper anyways
On the Ebay page says that the power coverter is DC 3V-6V, is there any problem using a 9v battery?
Can't wait to use this at school
best tutorial :D thx
No problem! Thanks for commenting! :D
Hey Keystone, i have a Problem. there is no spark between the wires when i press the button, only when they touch each other is that normal?
What type of transparent container could the generator be active inside of? Glass, acrylic, or …? I’m trying to create an opportunity for people to observe the electric bolt. Seeing such a thing in person is amazing!!
hey dude my country doesnt supply those converters,, whats the replacement ??
Can those modules be used as a high voltage supply?
would this provide explosive results if i used a lipo / li-ion battery? i have a spare 18650 battery that i need to do something with, im aware of safety with charging, amp protection, etc.
Is there anyway I can make the power converter myself?
what kind of wire do you use in the start of the vid?
can you show us how to do the power converter...
What is the round disk that is taped to the battery?
Is it possible to make 2 of these and have them discharge from the same wires so 2 boxes 2 batteries but only discharging from 1 set of wires if so which is the safest and most reliable way to wire it thanks in advance - Menz0
what's the different between this, the arc lighter and tesla coil?
The ones on ebay say they are rated up to ~7VDC, but you showed it working with 9v. Do they burn out with 9v, or is it still working ok? What do you think the actual maximum input voltage is?
+Matthew Foran hmm, it most sly depends on the gap across the top, I made a remake of this video explaining that, bust as long as the voltage doesn't have to build up too high, it should be fine at 9v. The maximum voltage besides that would be based on the oscillator at the beginning. I'm not quite sure what components it uses, but probably don't go too much higher than 9v
Question:
The Step-Up module you used is designed for 3v-6v input, but you clearly used a 9v input. have you had any damage to the module or should we be concerned about the extra voltage?
Does the module not have the ability to draw more than 6v out of the battery or something...?
+momaLuigi no, I haven't had any problems with a 9v, I think you will have problems though if you make the HV terminals too far apart using a 9v, however in the description of the video, I have a link to an instructables where I put nails as the terminals to ensure I would not overload the HV caps
Keystone Science thanks m8!!
Could that arc be used as a fire starter?
could a fluro tube inverter for a laptop work as a boost?
made one , nice
Your comment on Nighthawkinlight brought me here. Great channel! I like the way you narrate and the general feel of everything. You should just work on having a less distracting work surface (like a white or gray table) and a set backdrop. Gotta have that pseudo professionalism.
+SOurMoose237 thank you so much! And ok, I'll set up a white table I have in my work space, thanks again!
Hi brother..your videos very well and improving my knowledge..
I have one problem regarding Samsung microwave oven..I found fuse blowout which is in between transformer and capacitor..replaced with new but blowout as soon as start..checked magnetron ok.
HV diode shows open ckt on forward and reverse check with digital multimeter.. I increased fuse capacity then I found transformer overheating. Transformer also checked ok.please tell me what's problem..
I literally bought the exact same thing with a lithium ion battery and the guy threw in a momentary switch anyway I was wanting a more sturdy set of prongs because if you touch something with your one the wires will move apart and stop working I think thick hollow plastic tubes would work what do you recommend?
+Joshua Lansell-Kenny i remade this video and used some finish nails as the terminals, so you can see that video for how they worked out, but I think they work nicely!
I feel like it’s been longer than 7 years since I watched this (and your other videos) did you ever have to reupload them?
Well anyway, very informative as always, I’m here because I was randomly recommended your pocket emp video and I’m feeling a little nostalgic.
Take care, dude!
hey ,,
i bought boost converter from amazon, but i am unable to use it. when i connect 9v battery , nothing happens. what to do? pls help
hey buddy can you make a video on making how to make the convertor having same performance
please
How long will this device spark for if i keft it on costantly???
will I feel pain if my both hand are touching a boost converter while it's on?
This is how to make a stun gun, not how to make a taser. Tasers are hand held fire arms that fire electric projectiles attached to wires attached to the gun. While stun guns are and hand held devices used for close range electrocution, like melee.
Jonathan Daugherty I thought it was the other way then looked it up. Seems like a stun GUN would be the one to shoot the projectiles lol.
Yeah, I would too
Jonathan Daugherty im not entirely sure but im think " guns " are supposed to shoot stuff because i never heard of a melee tool/weapon called " gun "
XPumpkins You would think that the one with "gun" in the title would be the gun, but it's not lol
By the way a taser is not a firearm
you think could turn this into a taste glove? couldn't I move the switch to the index finger and the two taser wires to the middle and index finger? of course for that part I'd need to make the taser cords longer. any ideas? I would also have the rest of the parts on the back of the glove.
+Eddie Shannon yes! I actually have a video of a taser glove ( like I made it months ago ) but it was using a bit different materials, I
And I have tried making a taser glove from that boost converter and then I gave that video to someone else to post on their channel, their channel name was the Kurdish inventor I think, but they are in my subscriptions, so if you go to my channel then go to my subscriptions and click on his channel you will see that video :D
i did the exact same thing but doesnt have the same desire outcome. just a small spark once in a while when both output end touches one another. please assist
Where did you buy this boost converter from
its really great i,ve built this whit a 700Kv booster and its really effektive (ouch)😖😖
Is possible make a mini jacob's ladder using it?
how does the converter work?
How do I add the heatshrink when the the wires are connected?
And soder :\
So you just added power and a button to an existing taser? Good job.
I like IT! TARS dude.
find me @ twitter.com/WEBrip ( alias: Remini )
Hey! Cool video!
Is there any possiblie way to connect 5 boost converters of 400Kv to make 2000Kv or any other way to connect several boost conectors to get a higher voltage?
+Keystone Science
Who do you want to kill? XD
Nice
what amperage comes out of this thing?
What is the current? Is this safe without being lethal?
If you're in Lancaster county, I'd be interested in some projects
looking at capacitors on eBay what type should I buy? from 10pf-10nf and 1kv-3kv?
I want the tazer to last and to hurt alot
But can you use a tactile switch?
sorry what if i use a 3v - 7kv ??? is it still working???
dont lay down with this in your pocket ;-;
+DILLON OLIVIERO yeah, or at least have the battery disconnected, I've made that mistake before, and now my leg has burn marks on them :P
how strong was it?
is the shock strong enough to k.o somebody?
Mazmusic Ornament it's a 9 volt battery. it won't do anything except sting a bit
that doesnt mean anything. you can make an output of over 10000V with a coil.
does it have to be a cut off 9v battery top or could it be like and actual 9v battery plug
+Jesse Paynter nah, it can be a 9v batter plug aswell, that is just to act as something to attach the 9v to easily
what hapend when we connect a 4000v taser in a flyback tv transformer pleas tell me bro how volt is out put?
Does it matter what size boost converter?
is their one where you make a boots converter
I know this is very late compared to when the video uploaded, but when I was finding the parts (cuz this is totally cool) there was only a 700kV in stock on amazon, and i assumed it would work... will it?
+Linkeddust yes, however try eBay! I find them there for 2$ with free shipping :D
Hey, if you or SOMEONE could PLEASE direct me to which boost covertor you bought I would be extremely gratefull, a link to it on amazon would be extremely appreciated
"Hey there Mr. Mugger. Can you wait a minute while I position these wires correctly before I zap you. They're all messed up from being in my pocket."
Nothing an electrician's staple and a dab of epoxy wont fix.
Many of the reviews I read about this particular HV Booster is that they don't last very long. i.e. They fail in a short period of time. Has anyone experienced that before?
Any way you can show how to make a strong electromagnet? One strong enough to keep a metal door secure or strong enough to life a few hundred pounds?
5:29 "this thing is sure to DROP?" or just scare away?
funny this video popped up in my suggestions..I literally just opened a package that contained two of these "boost converters" about five minutes ago...freaking Google has eyes in my bedroom! lol
Could this be used as a power source
I have heard that you can make a taser out of a flash, non-digital camera, those that are disposable. Can one be made out of this kind of camera?
Yep, though much more dangerous and shouldnt be messed around with unless you know what you are doing and wear protection
How does this DC power converter work?
I wonder if you could use a mini airsoft gun to make a barb deploying one?
can I just use a 9 volt connector that I took off of something else that I already have?
a 9V connector is a 9V connector. 50 cents or less from mouser or digikey if you don't have anything to destroy or render useless. Anything not coming from a battery will have the right color wiring to it if it has a red and black (not brown) wire.
would be happy of we get a circuit schematic! ... to the basics
*if
Can you make this with an 18650? I would love to see videos about projects that can be powered with 18650 batteries
yeah you can but a 9v is more portable and small
wat is de ampere van die taser
Where can I get a boost converter?
