Build Your Own Stun Gun
mariox19 writes "Wondering what to do with your disposable camera when you're finished with it? TechTV has an article describing how to reach out and zap someone with a home-made stun gun. I discovered the link via Bruce Schneier's latest Cryptogram, where Schneier half-jokingly warns not to let airport security find out about this, lest (in their 'wisdom') they ban cameras along with nail clippers."
And the best part is that you could zap them and capture the moment. Now there's a Kodak moment!!

Etiquette is etiquette. He kills his mother but he can't wear grey trousers.
In junior high electronic shop class (~1978-79) we'd charge a capacitor up, say "Hey $NAME.." and toss it to the person. Force of habit dictated the person would usually catch it and get a nice suprise.
Trolling is a art,
all we need now is a follow up article about all the people who killed themselves while making their own stun gun.
Did anyone else notice that the URL is http://www.techtv.com/unscrewed/IHATEYOU/story/0,2 4682,3653392,00.html ?
Life is offtopic.
"Bully breaks student's camera, low voltage hilarity ensues."
Yes! Evil rules! Good can suck it! Suck it, good!
We're building one RIGHT NOW. I'll post pictures later.
Posting it on Slashdot ought to keep it a secret!
er, wait...

They should just start banning passengers. If there's no passengers, there's no threat, right?
Do the universe a favor and do not build your own stun gun. The little sisters and pet dogs of the world will thank you.
Doesn't everyone getting on an airplane these days have to strip naked, undergo a body-cavity search, and don shackles and an orange jumpsuit with PASSENGER stenciled on the back?

...my dad did this when he was a teenager. For some reason he never taught me how.
Anyway, what I did when I was a teenager was wire up an old shocking pen with two wires, attached it to a telescoping antenna, and made a prong at the end out of a binder clip and two paper clips. I went around pronging everybody.

Now all you people know why Radio Shack used to ask for your name, address and phone number. It's part of a government coverup to track capaciter sales.
I have a great idea! Polyester slacks plus two wire grids in them, hooked up to a charging system for a bunch of caps in your belt. Power anything! I'll make a mint!
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
And the best part is that you could zap them and capture the moment.
If you added bluetooth to the mix, you could download the image to your desktop instantly so it it becomes your next screensaver or desktop background. I'm sure the Abu Ghraib guys will love to hear their whole interrogation pipeline can be reduced to a single step.
I was taught by a bunch a school kids a really neat trick.
....even if it doesn't work you'll look like a dork hitting a camera on your head.
You set the flash on one of these fuji disposable cameras, then quickly hit the camera on the top of your head in a quick-jerk action.
What this does is it sets the flash off inside the camera without taking any film. And if you get it to work, it sure looks pretty funny...
READY.

my dad had one he built way back in ww2 when he was a radar tech, it was hilarious and he burned me with it good when I got older. It was a book with a hot babe on the cover, he'd hand it to you and say "check it out, hot babes" and etc. Well, any righteous red-blooded dude out there is gonna lose any amount of normal smarts he has and quick open it up.... ZAPPPP you'd get a good one.... man you felt stoopid then... HAHAHAHAHAH!
wonder if he still has that thing.....
Of course. After all, they had to take apart their camera to make the thing.
I touched a flux capacitor and haven't been the same since 1955.

We are no longer passengers. The correct term is self loading cargo.
any true geek would go get a cup of coffee and check on you in 10 minutes. 3 minutes?! what a baby...
if you were still unconscious, that would be the appropriate time to submit an Ask Slashdot
