The self-made glove stun gun is a weapon for the boom

Hi, Habr! Once I had the idea to make something similar to the power brass from the game Fallout: New Vegas . My choice fell on the electric shock, since it is easiest to implement it, and it would somehow resemble the nahrap propelling glove . The result is what you see in the picture. More under the cut.

I will write right away that the glove is not a weapon for self-defense. This device is not very convenient due to the large weight and does not have high reliability, it is just an exhibit to demonstrate the discharges: it looks cool, but there is little use. However, electric shock is still very unpleasant, and no one wants to repeat it on himself.

Device gloves

A high-voltage source, a portable glove-stun gun was conceived primarily to create spectacular discharges on the arm itself between the fingers. However, since it was problematic to create a glove with sufficiently high electrical strength, we had to choose a variant with a thick dielectric rubber backing located on the fist. There is a button in the glove itself. It is positioned in such a way that a high voltage source is activated by clamping a hand into a fist.

To create a high voltage, a voltage multiplier accelerated with an additional capacitor is used. It increases the AC voltage several times after the pulse voltage converter (for those who want to repeat, you can use this circuit). The converter is powered by a Li-Pol 11.1v battery.

Initially, the high voltage source was capable of producing an arc 2 times longer, but due to the intermittent voltage breakdown inside the circuit, this option had to be abandoned.

The frame was made of sheet metal and anchorage for pipes.


For additional pathos of the battery charge indication, the LED indicator is located on the side of the glove.

Discharges gloves can be viewed on the video.


Unfortunately, at the moment the technology is irretrievably lost glove is located somewhere far away, if not yet thrown into a landfill. Therefore, there are only old photos of this device.
