Used to immobilise large animals.
A known working unit outputs exactly the same as suspect one (which has been wet and probably dried out since the owner tried to use it).
Output measures around 49 volt DC (Fluke DMM). AC coupled CRO sees a
Short of putting a clip on my nose and an electrode up my arse WTF have I missed?
I have no idea how these things work, but you may have failed to account for the load. Did you measure it open-circuit? The ouput might be through a cap that has gone high ESR or something to that effect, so the value will be the same for no load on a failed unit. Try loading down the ouput and see if there is a difference.

Doh! there obviously can't be a cap on the output if you are getting DC on the output, but the concept is the same. Load down the output and see.

Wonder how big that would have to be to carry a fully grown bull?

Very interesting. I like this quote from the makers web-page :
"This immobilization is not stressful to the animals"
I suppose it wouldn't be very stressful to be confined in a chute, have a torpedo shoved up your arse and then have your goolies cut off.
It's almost enough to make me turn vegetarian. As Bertrand Russel said "Anyone who can't stand a visit to the slaughterhouse shouldn't eat meat."
