That’s hilarious - turn the exterior into a giant flux capacitor !!!
why not just roll down the window and shoot the thugs if they are treating the LE? Or run them over.
just ground a plug wire to the body, they will get a good jolt
What could go wrong?
Those already exist. South Africa has a lot of kidnappings, and so there is a vibrant market there for James Bond style cars that do all sorts of things, including having a perimeter flamethrower as well as high voltage electrification.
hmmm, “stune” , weellllll that depends on the setting of the beeber.
“Don’t stone me bro!”
Get a grip chief.
“Hello, finance company? You say my payment is a week late? Hold on - NO, APPOLONIA, NO!!!!”
Get a cattle or horse fence electric power supply. Some $50.
Drag a ground strap, insulated from chassis, along ground. Connect this to the ground side of the power unit. Connect the hot side to the chassis.
Have a way to turn off so you don’t get zapped when you get out.
Maybe you can find a 12v powered one online. Mine is 120v, so use an inverter in the car.
I have this to protect my chicken from coyotes.

A hydraulic version would be nice, so you can keep on going...
Israel had a machine they brought out into riots that would make a sound that would cause people to lose control of their bowels, and to vomit- supposedly- roll them out- make the streets look like LA
Aa a practical matter, no.
Too much surface area, covered by paint.
The body would have to be isolated from all other electrical systems.
Hit you lap-top with a taser, then you will have to replace it.
Same for vehicle electronics.
If thugs learn to short the ZAP system to the vehicle cops would be in deep Doo very quickly.
To do what you are asking a Carbon Fiber body-shell could be made to work.
How much do you want your taxes to go up to pay for that?
And the vehicle still has to pass the standard crash test, EPA, etc. unless given a waiver.
As I see it the only relatively inexpensive way to do this would be an add-on kit.
Isolated elements charged by a cattle prod power supply.
But even it it was available what are the odds some looter is going to conveniently touch that particular car, after being warned by the media, their handlers, and probably a big notice on the car itself?
“Less Leathal” system would be much cheaper and easier.
An armed turret, 40 mm, for Bean Bag, Pepper Balls, tear gas, etc. could be pretty simple.
In the time it took to type this I have the basic design figured out.
Look at my screen name, this is a subject I know.
Pm if you want to start a new company. ;-)
Trunk Monkey, perimeter defense edition
Well I know that when I was a kid some people tired of having their cars broken into would wire capacitors to the door handles, but that was long long ago in the far away time of pre automotive computers and electronics.
You want to stune your beeber.
Classic FR.
I *LIKE* it.......
What a great defense mechanism for our vehicles.
The Model T had an ignition coil that also had breaker contacts built into it. If remember right, you connected the + terminal to the battery + terminal and then had a wire connected to the - side and let the wire drag on the ground. The result was raising the vehicle’s body to a high voltage.
You can but you can get into a lot of trouble. Remember when breaking off hood ornaments for a necklace was popular? I do.
