I guess this very much counts as science, this guy is an electical engineer and he's teaching stuff in a most hilarious way, thought I'd post him here.
Enjoy.

How to make a taser


500.000 volt arc generator.

 

My favourite video from him is the one where he builds (and nearly gets killed by) a jacobs ladder

 

Oh those things are freaking cool. Isn't there a band called Tesla or something that does music with electricity and giant sparks?

Van der graaf generators are fun.

 

I just really like the way that he can explain this kind of stuff in a way that is fun and understandable.

 

The electrolaser had my hopes up as a non-lethal tool for law enforcement

^^ Meh.. if you need a 50 Gigawatt laser then you pretty much can shoot holes into someone.. rather negates the need to extra hit him with thousands of volts..

 

I'd hardly call a laser like that non lethal..

 

Getting rid of wires in some way is the hope. I hate tazers. No range.
