Camera Tazer
Here’s one for the “don’t try this at home” category. Turns out you can use the capacitor from the flash mechanism in a disposable camera to make a, no pun intended, killer Tazer. The idea is simple, charge up the cap, then discharge it into someone’s flesh. The things are surprisingly powerful and will deliver quite a shock to the victim attacker.

[...] Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is throwing a contest to see who can come up with the best idea for what to do with a bunch of really powerful capacitors. Besides making a deadly tazer out of them, what are some other good ways to put them to use? Head on over and give them some ideas, the winner gets 10 of the caps to use as they please (a ~$100 value). We also assume you’ll get the pleasure of seeing your idea take form in real life. [...]
I built one of these once. except instead of one disposable camera capacitor, I used 4. not the best idea, seeing as I got shocked by it. but it was really powerful.
what brand of camera did you use!!!
I made one yesterday and it was so powerful. How should I make a case for it?
hahahahahaha u can also make a flash bang
