there just not Dr proof !

got it got it got it...........this is what you need

[zeitghost]

It just shorts out.

The design of the thing must take account of this or their returns dept must be very busy fixing buggered tasers.

This is the concept behing the Zeitghost(tm) anti everything suit (with added codpiece).

Instead of the current flowing from one probe into you then out of you into the other probe, it just shorts the two probes together & voila! no shock.

Probly pisses off plod so much he shoots instead of course.

Further investigation reveals that a taser produces 50kV until skin contact, whereupon the voltage falls to 1200V at about 1.9mA at 17 pulses per second.

Uuuuuuuuuum.... hopefully it's a lot less than an amp.

Arm to arm lethal current is about 32mA or so.

I'd be surprised if the current is much in excess of a mA or so.

And a taser shoots two wires out to make a circuit, otherwise plod would get a shock too, so standing in puddles doesn't make a lot of difference.

But what would happen to the tazer if the darts short across a metal conductor?

hiccup..........ops sorry..........that’s what happens with paid pub grub! the beer is nicer when you can call it "entertaining"

It's even nicer when you can call it "subsistence" and write it off against corporation tax.

I hope you got your guests to sign the receipt...

BTW, how much current do these "tazer" fings chuck out?

Can't be much more than an amp on the average, probably less, otherwise you run the risk of killing the target. Of course, this depends greatly on your personal resistance, so best not to be standing in a pool of water or holding on to a copper pipe stuck in the ground when they zap you.

[Churchill]

but if you had a device that sent lots of V and current back that could be a shocking experiance.

Learn to spell or better still don't go to the pub at lunchtime!

As long as there is a flap on the front , so you can take a piss!

It's a taser not an electric chair...

There's a lot of volts (70kVish) but not much current.

Chain mail might be better, but it's just so heavy. Ask any Klingon.

So the combination of chain mail, kevlar and some nice metallic thread should make you bullet proof and taser proof.

I can feel a patent application coming on, the Zeitghost (tm) patent anti everything suit.

So, what would happen if the Tazer was shorted across something with a very low resistance... Where does all that energy go... Why, back to the tazer mefinks...

rubber suit, feat in a bucket of lead, or just don't do anything that my get you shot with a taze, for example, having a backpack on.....opps...sorry that getting shot with a gun

[Churchill]

That would have to be an impressive thread for it not to burn out like a fuse and leave you with a nice scar.

Terrific idea mind.

Chainmail?
