Drone Carrying Drugs, Hacksaw Blades Crashes In Oklahoma Prison (itworld.com)
itwbennett writes: A drone carrying drugs, a cell phone, hacksaw blades, cigarettes, glue, and other contraband was discovered crashed in an Oklahoma prison yard on Monday morning. The drone "apparently crashed after hitting razor wire that guarded the facility."
Dude, if only you'd persevered and read all the way through paragraph two...
The drone clipped razor wire on prison walls on Monday and lost control before crashing into prison grounds in what the officials said was the first attempt in the state to smuggle material into a prison with an unmanned aerial vehicle.

You don't need the flyback transformer - just the graphite rods from pencils, an extension cord, a styrofoam cup of salt water, three popsicle sticks, some tape (optional) and paper clips (optional) and you can make an electric arc.
Cut one side of the two-wire extension cord in half and expose the wires.
Tape (or use bits of wire or paperclips) to attach the bare ends to the popsicle sticks.
Put the popsicle sticks in the cup so that the wires are immersed but not touching. You can use paper clips to hold the sticks in place.
Cut the end of the extension cord that you don't plug into the wall off.
take the now headless end of the extension cord and separate it in two.
Expose an inch or two of bare wire on both leads.
attach one end to the metal object of interest.
take the last popsicle stick and wire the graphite rod to it with the other wire lead and optionally another paperclip.
plug into wall outlet.
using the popsicle stick as a handle, touch and slightly pull back the graphite rod from the metal object, completing the circuit
enjoy your new arc torch.
The salt water acts as a resistor on one side of the circuit, preventing a short circuit when you touch the metal with the graphite.
Of course, better results are obtained using carbon rods from new zinc-carbon batteries and higher voltages.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
