Title:
ELECTRONIC DISABLING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008057972
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a mechanism supply a current passing through electrodes and a target in a circuit having an air gap for disabling a target animal or human.
An electronic disabling device 200 includes first and second electrodes E1, E2 for contact with a target animal or person. The device disables the target by providing a current through the electrodes and consequently through the target. To assure suitable current flow, the device imposes across the electrodes a relatively high voltage for a relatively short time to ionize an air gap that may exist due to electrode placement. After lapse of the relatively short time the device applies a further lower voltage to sustain an disabling current flow through the electrodes.
