[Vanhackspace] Electro stim demo

[Kevin Reed]

You are definitely thinking along my train of thought,
the first night i had planned was the intro, to let people know what  
these items are and roughly how complicated a wand is and the  
potential dangers involved with the devices.

I too am very interested in trying to create a kit for these items,  
hopefully it will happen some time in the next month or so, the  
stingers don't look that complicated but will require some time to sit  
down and trace out the circuit, the wands are simple in theory but i  
am not an electronics expert so they could be more complicated then  
they look, i will go over the diagram i found for there operation  
tonight . And once we or i get a functional self created device then  
yes the word will be spread and that knowledge will be shared.

i doubt the demonstration and conversation on the items will take more  
then an hour or so so if anyone is interested we can start by trying  
to test the output of the items and possibly try to trace out the  
circuit of the stinger i have if there is time.

yay indeed.
