News: Electric shock pen prank

Simple to make and cheap.

Splice a pen with the igniter of a Bic lighter. Make sure you use a metal pen. Plastic won't zap. We look at this as a safer cousin to the camera taser prank.

But just because it's safe, doesn't mean it won't land you in detention! Hooligans, beware.

Now I know what to get that specials someone for Secretary's Day.

woooooooow!

This one's a great prank but I think that the piezo used in this video hasn't got enough kick :( *Thinking of a more attacking electric spark thingy for my friends* ^___^

first off, that's a ronson lighter. second, that's called a piezo ignitor. thirdly, you might wanna research how electrical current works before making some vid like this. you created a groud path through the foil around the ink reservoir rather than the barrel of the pen which means that it won't shock someone who clicks it. the way those piezo ignitors work is by grounding from the base to the wire. i'm sure it makes sparks inside but electricity operating as it does will take the path of least resistance and just travel back to the base through the foil rather than through the barrel of the pen to your hand. fail
