In this video I show you how to make a 3,000 volt taser from a fly zapper. Once I remove the high voltage generator I teach a little bit about dielectric breakdown and why pointy surfaces can breakdown air easier than curved surfaces. I only get shocked a few times throughout the process! I show you the plasma that forms and also talk about what a plasma actually is. Then at the end I make my taser and even shock myself with it. Then I show it shocking an apple in order to spare my arm. By the end of it I was shocked 3-4 times and my whole body hurt!
