Title:
ELECTRONIC TYPE DISABLING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010197045
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a mechanism for supplying a current passing through an electrode and a target in a circuit having an air gap to disable a target animal or person.
This electronic disabling device (200) includes first and second electrodes (E1, E2) for contact with the target animal or person. The target is disabled by providing a current through the electrodes and consequently through the target. To assure suitable current flow, a relatively high voltage for a relatively short time is imposed to the electrodes to ionize the air gap that may exist due to electrode placement. After a short time period, a lower voltage is used to sustain disabling current flow through the electrodes.
