Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I've uploaded, but these videos are only a small hobby of mine and it's quite hard to find time with school. Hopefully I'll be able to make a good number over the summer though. Anyway, here is the video I promised around a year ago at the end of my very first upload - so I hope you enjoy!
Finally I've assembled my first prototype of this. My designed changed a lot along the way and now it's on my arm, concealed inside a brace with a grounding wire that runs down my body to my shoe, but it still works the same. I decided to use a slide switch instead of push button to turn it on and off since I still wanted it to be hands free when on but I couldn't use the push button since the device was no longer under my toes and a slide switch just seemed like the safest option to go with. Took me so long to gather all the parts, especially the capacitors, but I'm so happy I have my first finished prototype of this as I've been dreaming of it for years ever since I saw this video. I also gained a 3D printer since last year so that also changed my design a lot and allowed for easier attaching of parts to the brace. Wish you would upload more because this channel has really impacted me a lot.
Now working on a "Mark II" that will go instead around the calf of the leg instead of the arm to conceal it better and will hopefully try to use Bluetooth to turn it on and off from a bracelet to make it very low-profile.
Hey man, congrats on getting your first prototype to work! That's super cool! Like I mentioned in the video this project was based off of a design from the channel nighthawkinlight. And that video is what got me into electronics in the first place. So it means a lot to me that I was able to pay it forward and have that same effect for someone else. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to film while in college, but I've definitely got some projects I want to make videos about! Hopefully I'll have the time eventually. Anyway, thanks for the kind words, it really does mean a lot. And congrats again. Keep on building stuff!
@@PartialScience You are my mind doppelganger. I actually got a little mad at myself when I saw you put it in a shoe, I always wanted to do that so it would be totally concealed. I wonder how much more powerful you could make this? By that I mean how much more static electricity could you fill your body with?
Lol I made this and showed my girlfriend all my "powers" and told her Im from another planet.. she actually began to believe me til I told her about the device 🤣. Thanks for the video!
I'm just here to learn how to shoot lightning from my fingers like Palpatine in order to fry all my enemies in town😈 This video has so much good material that I never knew about. Thanks for this.
have you considered carving a small kind of bullet shaped indentation into the sole of the shoe and placing the switch sideways? That way you would not place any pressure at all on the switch and would have to curl your toe to press the button. Might reduce the chances of a false trigger because your not putting pressure on the button itself.
Very nice project! I'll stick to the usual box in the pocket since I don't want to have my circuitry bound to a shoe, but it's definitely *sneaky* with great *potential* right. You may want to be more careful with your microphone as well, touching it or its stand is very audible.
Hey, I was wondering if you could give some more information on building the voltage multiplier because I was a little bit confused about how exactly you created it and how many of each part you need. I am following your design for an engineering project in my school and this is the only part of the build I don't really understand. Thanks!
It depends on how many stages you want to add. The idea is that each stage doubles the voltage (although in reality there are diminishing returns as you add more stages). So if you want to multiply it 14 times you'll need 14 stages for example. Here's a video I feel gives a good visual explanation of this type of circuit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DI8Yt1AQrH8.html
Thanks! Put simply, the shoe is just a current limited, high voltage power supply. And like any power supply you need to create a circuit between its two outputs. In this case the circuit is completed through ground and the user.
I'm not too sure. In theory it's a very similar circuit but it might not be as powerful. Additionally you'd still need to cut the board at the output of the transformer. As for the capacitors, 120pF should be fine, but just know that the higher that number gets the more dangerous it gets as well because more current can flow through you.
So how hot could you make this? Could you use parts from a cheap eBay taser instead of a negative ion generator and hook it up the same way for better sparks? It doesn’t seem to shock as bad when the spark is jumping off of you onto something else vs just getting shocked where the sparks are jumping onto you from something else like a taser.
First, I’ve asked many people and they aren’t really understanding my question. Please help me figure this out. :( I do not get how each output terminal of the bug zapper’s transformer are able to shock and not shock the battery’s case (before wiring it directly to the battery case because that is how the guy in the video solves the issue). I also do not understand why the strap that charges the guy’s leg is wired to be after the bug zapper & not the 7 stage voltage multiplier. Why does the voltage multiplier have a ground and then nothing on the other output. Wouldn’t the strap go on the opposite side of where the ground symbol is? How does this charge the guy with static charge exactly in general? Wouldn’t you normal need, in simplification, a high voltage source that connects to the guy, then ground to the ground?
So I built one but a little more powerful then ran into a problem Capacitors are not facing the right ways like some positives and negatives are switched guessing that would have an affect and it doesnt work how do I tell positve from negitive leads are the same size and no markings on it
I doubt you're still reading comments, but your, and anyone elses, help would be appreciated. I've worked on this project off and on for a few months now, and everything works, for a little bit, till the transistor fry's itself. I also am getting shocked in the leg by the strap, even with the battery connected to the strap, but that's a minor issue I can fix by myself. I'm wondering if it's just prolonged use frying it, and I need to give the thing a rest, or whether I need to replace it. My first attempt I used the same bug zapper used in the video, but that transistor fried aswell while I was using it, granted I was arcing the part connected to ground and the wire I connected to one side of the voltage multiplier. After frying that transistor I used a harbor freight bug zapper I got for $4. Note: I've only used it while it was in a shoe once, before it would fry before I could even get it in one. Again, any help is greatly appreciated, I have little to no idea what I'm doing. Edit: I've found a solution, I just ordered a rechargable bug zapper off of Amazon and used the included battery to charge everything, and from what I can tell, this is a bit more powerful but what is shown in the video, but that's what I wanted, anyway, thanks for the amazing video partial science, this was a fun project through and through!
Hahah, trust me I know the pain. I've fried countless transistors with this thing. Two things which helped though were soldering a 3 pin socket to the board so I could just swap new transistors if they got fried without having to resolder. And then buying more powerful transistors. I eventually settled for NECD882s. Also, a bigger strap that's held to your leg tighter should stop it from shocking you (unless you wired the wrong end of voltage multiplier to it in which case the residual AC spikes will... tingle a bit)
Hey Dx_ed I hope you read this because I need help. After I read your comment I got a rechargeable fly swatter but it appears the wiring arrangement is different for the project. Could you explain how you did it please i would be very thankful.
@@liamwiech4230 just find the output pins of the transformer and wire them to your cockroft walton multiplier (you can check with a multimeter set to V~ or trial and error), but usually the pins are the exact same as they were in the video. cheers!
This is cool! You think it would be possible to get a smaller but powerful transformer somewhere? The idea is not bad but when it comes to potency it would be a good idea to modify the circuit to make it look low profile. Something like making your own tiny prototype board and distribute 12 or more voltz in between both shoes. Somehow you could add a tiny Bluetooth module and program the switch to be a Bluetooth bracelet. But at least you got the experiment right, that's the harder part. Modify and prototype would be all fun is you really like what you do.
Can I do it without snipping the board and adding the capacitors (Ik it will be weaker but is it possible) (and if I don’t connect the capacitors and keep the ones that are on the board what shoots the hot wire connect to thanks)
Hey man! This is stinkin awesome! Ive wanted to make something like this for a bit now. Just wondering, but where on earth can I harvest that many capacitors? Are there any devices in particular that use a bunch?
Hypothetically... If I did do that back in highschool I'd tell you some story about how I went around shocking people with a soggy french fry during lunch. Got a crowd of people following me around who were all terrified of this magical french fry. And then just ate it and walked away while they freaked out... But for legal reasons that never happened...
Hi, I've tried using ioniser from an ozone generator. In the unit, there are two 12v ioniser units. I've tried one straight to battery pack and can't get a spark. I have been given a high voltage generator to use. As soon as it's near contact, it shows the spark. Seems a bit over the top. Is this okay to use?

I bought a skeeter swatter to try and make this but mine is a little different. I don't know much on small electronics beyond a car stereo so I could use a little help. I have the ground from the battery going through a switch then to pcb. Hot goes from battery to pcb. The output side has three wires. One white and two green which color is just a color. This swatter calls for 2 D cell. If more info is needed I'll disassemble it when I get back home to try and I.D. components each wire is coming from
Hi Partial Science; I have gathered all the components; I know they are drowning out the comments section so I hope you see this; I may need guidance on building this to alleviate what I cannot say on here -- how long many times do I use the device; how long does it last; do I have to make new ones; and how long approximately before the 'internal tech' is destroyed; if you can please answer these questions for me. I thank you kindly for any help you can give me.
HI try to incorporate Frequency modulation see what the out come is. you may have the beginning of a ATMOSPHERIC STATIC GENERATOR. that in the field of TESLA.
Can you give me advice please. I used hv ceramic capacitors on me ignition coil for bether staring me engine in winter. The problem is me old Delco 12 si alternator is effected be those capacitors. Oddly enough the charging light wont go off unless I rev the engine so it seams me starting charge from the alternator isnt 1k rpm it now around 3-4 k rpm . So what can I do to prevent the voltage regulator inside the alternator to interact with those capacitors. Peopel call it plasma ignition but its just frequency or voltage multiplier . I hoppe you can help me understand that regulator how it works it has only 1 ic chip inside and I belive 1 or 2 tiny capacitors nothing ells controls the alternator . Thats the only problem I have so fare baterry is ok ,starter motor spins faster,bether engine start,smuther engine evry thing ells is ok only problem is the alternator it looks like the diode in the dashboard is bypassed . So hoppe some one can help me understand how resistors and capacitors can interact with alternator or if posibly their starting charge can be controled some how manuali .
@@oliverklozhoff Hello, I am super new to all of this but need to make the ionizer -- can you tell me what the ion generator is from Amazon, what does it do ?
I was looking for some anime clips about characters with electric powers and somehow came here But hey, this is interesting, i want to do this just to troll my friends that i have eletric powers (for real)
It depends on what you want it for. Those usually have a very similar circuit inside. But, they're also usually filled with tar so you can't rip the circuit out, and as such it's basically impossible to put inside a shoe. And most importantly, they also usually use larger capacitors meaning they can put out more current and are therefore more dangerous.
Just a mix of boric acid and methanol. They react to form trace amounts of trimethylborate which ends up in the vapor phase and burns with that green color. And then the burning drives the reaction forward despite the low equilibrium constant.
I'm still around lol. And I certainly have no shortage of project ideas. I do unfortunately have a severe lack of time being an undergrad engineering student. Although I'm set to graduate in a few months so maybe I'll have more time to start making videos again.
