Stun Device

I saw a show once where the police used a sort of strobelight device that stunned people and made them drop there weapons and sometimes vomit. Could i build this with an Arduino, or is there an easier way?

Is this to be incorporated into the touch screen internet browser device?

Shit. Where did I put the Windex? Too funny.

I think the main principle is to use a very, very bright light, so you really don't need an Arduino. Some of the patents talk about pulsing and using different colors, but those claims are weak and seem to have been thrown in just to be able to get a patent.

@ Awol no it is not.

to everyone else it would really just be a test of my sketches, but would it be worth it?

First issue may be to verify what you saw in the show actually exist. In one of my favorite movies there is a Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar that may not have been real.

Take a high guide number photographic flashgun.
Fire it in your face*

You will not be able to see anything, and may become disorientated.
Disorientation may make you vomit.

  • do not actually do this.

Something like this maybe?

See it really can be done by taking advantage of the Arduino features we love!

What was the last thing said in the video? :slight_smile:

Think of this as a reverse engineering product.

I am pretty sure you can get these, Surefire makes some of them.

So buy one, figure out what the lengths, intensity, and frequency of the light pulses are using various censors.

Once you know that, you have a requirement and you spec to that.

Let us know how your project went.

Think of this as a reverse engineering product.

A product that doesn't produce anything more than annoyance for the subject? Kind of like doing jello shots, what's the point?

Its the electronics equivalent of trying to make fireworks with your chemistry set - its too easy to create smoke and fire with electronics so this is where a certain sort of enquiring mind ends up.

And if the censors can't help you, stop asking them and use some sensors.

If you make it out of red LEDs then you can make people lose their memory :slight_smile:

What? I've never heard of this. Do you have any sources or is this just BS?

Wow I feel stupid....damn internets!

At least your able to see the funny side
