High Voltage Operation

WHERE CAN I GET THIS????

I'm serious where can i get this...?

RE: High Voltage Operation

Didn't some of you do this in High School? Just build a small base out of plywood, insert a car batery. Take off the back of the game and wire the metal things around the little holes to the to the car batery. Keep the original wirering to the D bateries though or it will catch fire.

Use normal metal twezers though, not the plastic ones that came with the game.

Do not try to hook it up to a outlet. It can be done, but it melts the plastic and would kill anybody playing.

RE: High Voltage Operation

A car battery alone won't give a good zap and AC current will fry the DC electronics. What you need to do is add a high voltage low amp capacitor to give you a jolt like you would get from touching a spark plug wire on your car while it is running.

RE: High Voltage Operation

It would be plenty. Have you ever used one of those prank batery shock pens? THere only three volts, a car battery is 12.

Besides, just ask anybody who's ever crosed the wires when jump starting their car.

RE: High Voltage Operation

There are 3 factors - volts, amps, and watts. I take it you weren't paying attention in science class? The shock pen uses a capacitor to store a large voltage at low amperage. You can touch both terminals on a 12-volt battery and not feel anything. At the same time you can touch a door knob after walking across the carpet and get a shock from the several thousand volts of low amperage charge that builds up on your body.

RE: High Voltage Operation

Mr. Wizard, you're an idiot. The factors are volts (V), current (measured in amps and denoted with the letter I) and resistance (R). V=I*R. Capactiance is a completely different property altogether (C), which is similar to an inductor (L). Watts (W) is the term for power, which is also different. It's a high current that will shock you. The resistance of the human body is quite large, which results in a very low current running through your body when you touch both poles of a battery. Hence, you don't feel anything, but it's still there.

As for a shocking operation game, it would be pretty much impossible to ever get a sufficient shock from a battery (DC). You really need the AC current from the outlet (RMS=110V). I would not advise anyone to try that, less you really want to hurt yourself.

One more thing...

The reason you don't **** around with anything that says high voltage is, even as large as the resistance of your body is, V=I*R. Since the R of your body is constant, the larger the V, the larger the current you are sending through your body if you get shocked.

RE: High Voltage Operation

Looks like Bob Dole needs to go back to school as well.

Go touch both terminals of your car battery. Now start the car, pull a spark plug wire, and put it to your tongue. Feel the difference? That is the result of 12 volts being cranked up to tens of thousands or volts. The amperage is low so all you get is zapped. Increase the amps at that same voltage and it will kill you (hence the high voltage warnings). If you would have been paying attention in class instead of sticking your pencil up your ass you would have learned the relationship between amps, watts, and volts (Ohm's Law).
Now go open up your TV set. Look for a big cylinder (usually blue or silver) with 2 leads coming out of it. Grab a hold of both the leads. If you are still alive after doing that, you have just seen what a capacitor is. It stores energy like a battery. Again, had you been paying attention in school you would have learned what a capacitor is and how it is very relevant to this application.

The stupidest thing you said was that you would need AC to give a sufficient shock. This shows you know nothing of what you say. A taser gun can run off 8 AA batteries giving 50,000 volts @ 133mA. That not enough for you? How about a portable defibrillator? It runs off a few 12V NiCads.

DC causes your muscles to lock and AC causes your muscles to spasm so the only advantage AC offers is if the voltage was too high, you would not be frozen to the game.

One more thing. The reason you don't **** around with the 'Submit Comment' button when you don't know what the hell you are talking about is you run the risk of showing everyone just how stupid you are. Now we know you are an imbecile on many levels.

Better get back to work, Bob. The fries are burning.

Bob Dole....I hope you were well lubricated for the ass poundage you just suffered. That was worse that the prison rape in American History X.

RE: High Voltage Operation

this brought back a baaad story...

when I was 3 I liked to plug stuff.(my mom didn't know though) But anyway I plugged the plug in, but my finger was on the metal part. After that I fell on the ground screaming like a banshee. Done and done.

Done and done.

(I had to correct some stuff)
