The stun gun(Taser)

by Joshua Duryea

&Brian Furey

what’s it for

•a non-lethal way for police officers to subdue criminals

•self protection

pluses

•no long term effects

• less risky

hiding the taser

•camara

•cell phone

•umbrellas

•flashlights

hows it work

•dumps electrical energy into the victim

•momentary paralysis

•muscle spasms

•PAIN

shocking

•high volts

• low amps

•“doesn’t kill”

•20,000-150,000 volts

electrodes

•electrodes are attached to wires

•electrodes are also attached to barbs

negatives

•one shot

•reload

•new gas tank

the gas tank

•the gas tank is what sends the electrodes towards the victim

•15-20 feet

•pulling the trigger breaks open the gas chamber building pressure on the electrodes launching them out

charge?

•the stun gun usually takes a 9 volt battery

•this powers the circuit and has many transformers

transformers

•boost the voltage

• lower the amps

•oscillator creates a pulse or pattern

current / capacitor

•the electric current charges the capacitor

•the capacitor delivers the charge to the electrodes

•the electrodes deliver the shock

2 electrodes

•most stun guns have two pairs of electrodes

•outer “charge electrodes”

• inner “test electrodes”

outer pair

•Current can’t travel between the outer pair unless something comes between them

inner pair

• if the charge cant go between the outer pair it goes to the inner pair

•the inner pair is close enough that it can produce a crackling noise and spark

•the inner pair is used more as a warning
