Hi,
I'm an old mechanical engineer. I'm struggling to understand how a taser is able to step up the voltage from a 9 volt battery to about 300KV. Background....I understand the coil concept in the older automobile ignition systems and how it moves the voltage from 12 volts to 20,000 volts for the spark plugs but, how did the electronics world replace that large coil with something so small it can fit in the palm of your hand?
Thanks in advance....Bill Chancellor 9/29/09
