Have you guys seen this thing?

A friend gave one to me, said her dad loves the thing. It's only two AA batteries, so I don't see how it can really have much power. HOLY FUCK!!! I simply tapped it with one finger. That fucking thing hurts. Will be fun to swat some asses with it when you all come up to Indy for MotoGP. :whistle:

I doubt that thing has enough power to arc through clothing and I am not playing naked swat ass with you.

There was a vid on youtube of my buddy shocking his dick with one.

One of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. But, they've taken it down...

I'm not testing it on myself. It hurt bad enough the first time. My finger still tingles. :lol:

Had one in iraq to entertain me during many boring days. The one I had took C cell batteries.

Does it matter what voltage is powering it when its a capacitor doing the discharging?

Amps do more damage than voltage. That's why those 50kV tasers or whatever don't kill you. They use small caps in these so they don't really do any damage. We use to charge some up and throw them to a buddy to give a good shock in lab.

That's what I was getting at. The cap is set for a certain amperage, right?

So, dump 20 volts or 20k volts and it still charges to, let's say 5ma?

Or, does the cap work as a storing resistor? The higher the e the higher the I because of r of the cap?

You want a tingle? Try changing a fuse in a computer supply. :panic: My arm was numb for 3 days.

Try having lightning hit your phone lines while typing on a keyboard with dial up...

I thought it blew a hole in my elbow.

I'd rather use a glock to kill those pesky bugs.

That's the one we have :dthumb: Regular price of $7.99 but we got ours on sale for $3.99

That one is powerful enough to kill bumble bees ( although you have to keep the button pressed until they start to smoke )

We have four of them right now. We take them to Canada to keep the bugs away. VERY effective :rockwoot:

no, caps are a much more in depth device. read the wikipedia on it if you want more info

The two D cell powered one carries quite a wallop. When we packed the suburban for canada last spring, I put the bug zapper in the back. Unknown to me, the button was pushed in.

I grabbed it by the mesh to take it out and got zapped pretty good. :willy: My hand hurt all the way up to my shoulder :panic:

As soon as my wife realized I was OK, she called me a dumb-ass for not noticing the red light was lit. :zowned:

My nephew used to work there and bought a couple... we used to have "fights" with them... some spots are a little more tender than others.

I don't know what disturbes me more... the fact that he did it and filmed it or the fact that said individual has friends....

You don't know the half of it. He did it at a party in front of everybody while being video taped.

They're a lot more painful to use on a fingertip than on the ass... nerve density, contact area, etc.

Now, if you've got somebody standing around shirtless and you manage to swat 'em on the nipple... THAT is good for a laugh :zowned:
