Introduction
It is a priority for people to feel secure doing their everyday activities at home or away. Because
no matter where you go, whether is shopping, to school, to the market, to work, on a walk around the
neighborhood, or simply inside your home, there is always a potential for danger. The news continuously
reminds us of the horrors that occur in all these areas all throughout the United States and all over the
world. Sexual assault, kidnapping, missing children, murder, break-in, robbery, and many more terrifying
events are happening more frequently and when we least expect them. Having the right protection can
dramatically decrease your chances of being harmed during these occurrences.
Stun gun with a solar energy through the use of solar panel may refer to electroshock weapon, an
incapacitating weapon that momentarily disables either a beast or a person with an electric shock. Stun
gun is a non-lethal, legal in most states way to deter possible assailants. It is a hand-held battery-powered
device designed to deliver short bursts of electrical energy that causes temporary muscle paralysis. A stun
gun does not shoot anything. Instead it looks similar to a portable phone, with two prongs protruding at
one end. When you push the pronged end against an attacker and pull the trigger, an electric charge
passes into his body.
Stun guns deliver high-voltage, low-amperage shocks that interrupt the body's signals to the
nervous system, which makes a person unable to physically function. As the amperage is very low, no
serious or permanent injury is inflicted. However the voltage immobilizes your attacker for several
minutes. In simple terms, this means that the charge has a lot of pressure behind it, but not that much
intensity. When you press the stun gun against an attacker and hold the trigger, the charge passes into the
attacker's body. Since it has a fairly high voltage, the charge will pass through heavy clothing and skin.
But the charge is not intense enough to damage the attacker's body unless it is applied for extended
periods of time. Police departments, security agents, and individuals desiring protection against attack use
stun guns. They have proven to be an excellent defensive device as they have incredible stopping power
and yet remain non-lethal.
Project Description
This gadget generates substantial voltage pulses which can disrupt muscle tissues and
neurological system, forcing any individual who touches it in a condition of mental bewilderment. The
unit may be used again attacking beasts or dangerous intruders. Be aware that, this gadget could be
prohibited in your country. It may be extremely dangerous for folks with cardiac issues, who may be
using external electronic apparatus (like peacemakers), since it can deliver quite a little RF. Don't attempt
reckless behavior using this gadget, it is far from a plaything.
The proposed stun gun circuit description may be understood as follows:
The 555 IC is connected as a stable to generate rectangular waves with variable frequency and
duty cycle (see the potentiometers and diode). This signal is fed to a IRF840 Mosfet (not necessary to
incorporate totem transistor network, as frequency would be reduced, nonetheless the IC has adequate
current potential to swiftly charge/discharge the gate).
As an alternative for the mosfet a bipolar transistor works extremely well (add a 100 ohm resistor
between 555 and base of the transistor). Proper BJT could be BU406, but additionally scaled-down BJT
may be ok, take into account that it should be able to cope with a minimum of 2A nonstop.

The inductive boost snubber isn't called for since the electrical power is lower which is practically
completely adsorbed to charge the tank capacitor, furthermore because this gadget is battery powered we
don't wish to disperse the power on a resistor, yet we need to produce the sparks.
With a snubbing system you are going to encounter decreased firing levels. Utilize A
PUSHBUTTON SWITCH FOR Protection
Building the Transformer: this could be the actual tedious aspect. Because it in retailers we have
to construct these. Components essential: enamel copper wire (0.20 mm or 0.125 mm), ferrite rod, LDPE
sheets (0.25 mm).
Coat the ferrite rod with a application of ldpe (polyethylene, as a substitute utilize electric
insulating tape) and stick it (or tape it) Position 200-250 winding on the ldpe (a lot more winding would
do in case the rod is more than 1'), an additional ldpe application, yet another 200-250 winding and so
forth to eventually have 5-6 tiers (approx 1000-1400 turns nonetheless supplementary turns wouldn't
negatively affect the functionality), then again be cautious for internal arcing that could destroy it.
Insulate it once more and set the primary winding, 15-20 turns of 1mm wire would be simply
fine, an excessive amount of winding will probably lead to lesser current and reduced spike in T2
secondary on account of decreased rise period, and too few is not going to saturate the core.
Go for MKP capacitors since they have minimal ESR and ESL (these are popular in tesla coils as
mmc capacitors).
The spark opening could be straightforwardly a pair of crossed (although not touching) 1 mm
spaced wires. It works like a voltage regulated switch, firing when the voltage is just nice to ionize the air
between them (transforming it to plasma with smaller resistance). Remember that it could
be sensible do put it into a compact plastic box and stuff with oil allowing bubbles away don't employ
motor oil or frying oil, rather organic mineral oil which includes zero water inside.
