I’m an Electrical & Computer Engineering student at The Ohio State University with a passion for hands-on engineering, testing, and problem solving. I enjoy working on projects that combine hardware and software, analyzing data, and turning ideas into practical solutions. I’m currently building my skills in areas like circuits, embedded systems, controls, and engineering design while gaining real-world experience through engineering projects and internships.
This project is one of my simpler ones, I had the desire to make a taser because it seemed fun and I wanted to get some practice with soldering. The materials I used consisted of a 9V battery and connector, a simple button, two nails which were cut in half, and a boost converter. Everything was wired up and soldered to make good electrical connections. The boost converter was the most important part, triggering a switch rapidly to take advantage of the properties of capacitors and inductors to exponentially increase the voltage output. Each time the current is interrupted, the inductor's collapsing magnetic field pushes energy forward through a diode into a capacitor, and the voltage there builds up higher than the input.
