Default Anti-Theft Idea

Hey guys. We all hate thiefs right? And we all like our cars and not wanted to get stolen. So here is my idea i was thinking. If it takes 60 volts to kill someone. How can we make this work as like a tazer anti theft system. I want to wire electricity ( GOOD AMOUNT) to the door handles or anywhere on the car. The car is metal so it conducts electricity. So How would you wire a battery AND make something to STEP up the voltage do a good amount without using like 10 batteries lol


thanksl

I would imagine this is illegal...if not, it isn't a safe idea by any means. There are far more effective methods to detour car thiefs

There are many ways to keep your car from being stolen. Nothing of what you said OP is safe or legal.

This is blatantly illegal. You've obviously never heard of the term "equal and necessary". This would catch a premeditated murder charge in most states. On top of that, your car's electrical system uses the body as a ground, and your door handles are plastic. Unless you want to end up in the Darwin Awards, please stop trying to think up new things.

it doesn't take 60v to kill you. your 12v car battery can do it easily.

0.75 amps can kill you. Your car battery has over 60amps+ running and 500amps+ at start.

just saying..be careful op lol

Its not a bad idea, nor a good one.
The Major armored car services offer this.
that being said, read your electrical diagrams and find a clever, not dangerous way to prevent theft. like an electric shift ****. CHEERS!

This reminds me of Robocop. Oh memories.

This is a heinously bad idea.
What happens if you park your car at a mall and a mother and her kids parks next to you and one of her children touches your electrified car?

also i fairly certain 60 volts will not kill someone, the other day I got a surge from my dizzy jumping the gap between my plug wire, that was easily a few thousand volts.

Hopefully this is a troll, in which case, you could have done better.

60 volts isnt going to kill you but it will get your attention for sure. Personally Ive been shocked by plenty of livestock fencing when I was younger which are usually above 100 volts. Regardless this is a dumb idea as an anti-theft option with too many what ifs and possible liabilities.

Maybe if the car was a huge magnet and the kid touched it but probably not
