Hi all,
Just wondered if it is possible to come up with a circuit which would enable a single PP3 9V battery such as this:
to function as the power source for a taser? I'm sure proprietary tasers are manufactured with far more suitable batteries than a PP3 and it wouldn't be hard to come up with a near- lethal/lethal design if a significantly higher capacity battery were permissible. But there's no challenge in that. This is just a bit of fun (remember when we had fun?). If you had to come up with a design concept for a taser-like weapon which HAD to run from a PP3, how would you go about it? Given that you would probably incorporate some sort of switcher, which topology and ancillary concepts would you choose to most efficiently convert the *very* limited amount of energy these cells contain into something that could kill or disable an assailant? I'm not looking for a specific circuit here; I'm not planning on building one; it's essentially just a thought experiment - a fun conceptual challenge - to establish if it could be done AT ALL with such limited power, and if so - how?
Your thoughts invited!
