Evening Dan and Peter,
Summer is around the corner.
Some of our friendly biting insects are around the whole year. I was
bitten at the end of November.
>> I just went out and bought a piezoelectric igniter for a gas grill.
Cost about $15.
The genuine thing, the Stun Gun, cost about the same. Better ones are
a bit more.
>> I plan to use this on any tick or mosquito bites I get...
So, ..... you are betting you don't get bit by one of the really bad
critters. <grin>
[ Peter ] Anybody can has any suggestions how to measure the current?
I mentioned "time intervals" and no one seemed concerned.
Based on my observations, I would think the duration of the voltages
from these igniters are
from 150 to 300 mili seconds, maximum. Possibly you could produce multiple
firings to approximate the two seconds.
You could build an adjustable air gap with an alternate path and see
how large the gap could be and the voltage still jump the gap. I still
have a transistor Ignition I built in the 60's that will fire a 5/8 inch
air gap in a test distributor turning 5000 rpm. This will outperform these
ignitors by about 5000 to one I would guess. I could build this in a nice
compact box and would not need a stun gun. Actually, this unit was very
expensive to build in 1963. Guess what? I still have the tube of heat
sink compound I purchased for this project. I used it on lots of CPU heat
sinks until the manufacturers woke up and started adding it.
The wattage of these type ignitors varies. Likely they are in the 15
to 30 watt range, maybe less. Units can be had up to 50 and 100 watts.
Still, these are a far cry from the total wattage delivered by a two second
pulse from the stun gun.
If you want to use these for minor stings which never give me a second
thought, please don't make the mistake of thinking this is adequate for a
spider or snake bite. Fire ants bite me weekly. I have watched a large
red wasp sting me on the leg until I felt he had done all he could do. I
simply flipped him off and did not kill him. I said, "Thank you, another
immune system test".
I read one article describing how the high voltage destroys the molecular
structure of the venom.
Changing the molecular structure is no small task. It cannot be
accomplished without some pain.
No Pain, NO Gain !
I wanted to make an effort to calculate the Watt Seconds of the ignitors as
compared to the stun guns.
AT this time, I don't have the information to do it with the ignitors.
Stun guns are stated to deliver 1 ma to less than 4 ma. If we take an
average of 2ma,
We have .002 X 25,000 = 50 X 2 seconds would be 100 Watt Seconds. Many
factors may reduce this. or change the overall performance. Of course the
resistance of 5 to 8 inches of flesh ( my leg ) will change any
calculations. Considering that I got 5 shocks near two seconds, I had a
reasonable amount of wattage delivered to upset the molecular structure of
the venom.
Suggested time for the 50,000 Volt stun gun is one second to equal the
above numbers.
Likely mineral and electrolyte content will effect this wattage at any
given time.
The conductivity of my leg must have been adequate, as I recall the
intensity of current flow.
Plus, I had been taking more minerals than usual for 3 weeks.
If a person is bitten by a spider or snake, it is no time to play around
with unproven devices.
Get the real thing and do the job right.
Here is a file that details a 10 years spider episode that cost $ 250,000.
Talk about saving a few dollars, or not being able to stand TWO WHOLE
seconds of pain !
Who is kidding themselves?
Here is the link to the 10 year spider bite, amputated finger, that keeps
acting like it has been bitten again. Awesome.... to say the
least. http://www.fugitt.com/spider_doc/10_year_spider.htm
I have a number of other files I will place in this same location as time
permits.
Hopefully, I can find the article with details on the venom destruction by
high voltage.
It may be in the archives. Seems many spider bite sites have changed
within the last 5 months.
