Oh Boy!! that's going to be quite a hit! The coil gets 12 volts from the ignition system, and generates perhaps 200 + volts on "break" due to inductive kickback or field collapse; what's going to happen when it gets 300 + volts and then the xenon tube extinguishes and "break" comes for that field? I realize the current is diminishing during the flash, guess I'll have to try it to find out - but I think I'll try it on the spider first<g>.
Take care, Malcolm

BTW, anyone who has made a home made pulsar can easily make it to be a shocker as well. Instead of connecting the magnetic coil wound on a VHS spool to the unit, connect the primary of an old automobile spark coil to it. Easy, and convenient.

I have been told that you cannot use new automobiles to shock for venom. It will kill you. Maybe older vehicles were OK. We have used the spark plug wire from a 2 cylinder motor. We hold a metal rod (with heavy welder's gloves) stuck into the spark plug cover. We stand on a few layers of corrugated boxes flattened out to keep from being grounded? With the motor running (a welder) I hold the rod, and my husband gets just close enough to the rod to have it arc, or have a little electrical bolt strike his skin. We shocked each bite, or eruption, about 10 or 15 times around them and also in the middle of them. The man who showed us how to do this used a 2 cylinder motorcycle to shock his wife's bite with great success. My husband has waited 2 weeks to shock his. His original bite had already cleared up. I used CS on it, but he had several eruptions after that. We have been told that he should have stayed down, and not been as active as he was (he played basketball several times). Have been told that it caused the poison to circulate to other sites. He is seeing a Chiropractor who is using acupuncture, Metal cleanse, and UV light. She cautioned against too much CS ingestion saying it can accumulate in body if not cleansed. I was having my husband drink about 8-16 oz a day before we started to see her. She sent him to a Dr. to get some antibiotics. The Dr. gave him a shot of Rocephin and a prescription for Keflex. He said the eruptions looked like Staph. The eruptions seem to slowly be getting better. He has been seeing the Chiropractor for 5 days, twice a day. We have shocked the eruptions twice. We haven't told the chiropractor, though. He hasn't had any new eruptions in 5 days. Still treating 3. They are still painful. Thanks for the responses. I gave my chiropractor the article on using nitro patches. She hasn't commented, yet. The guy who showed us how to use the shock told me that I should have used my CS generator to shock it as soon as the first bite started erupting. He said to wet the area and shock it all the way around it. I will probably try that if I get stung or bitten. I have a homemade CS generator made with a 19v adapter.
