With the power of 630.000 volts?<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Yes even THIS is possible if you canbelieve the following Article at gizmowatch. Interesting fact is that the taser hull for the iPhone is pricetagged for $85 which seems a real bargain as the hull can\u00a0 also provide an extra 20 hours standby time. However I wonder why it&#8217;s only 20 hours because the standard 1450mAh battery pack of the iPhone 4S allows a standby time of roughly 400 hours. So it&#8217;s assumable that the batery pack only comes with roughly 80mAh? That would be rather small and nostly not sufficient to charge a taser to fire out a 630.000 volts electroshock.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3336\" title=\"Yellow_Jacket_Taser\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Yellow_Jacket_Taser.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Yellow_Jacket_Taser.png 600w, https:\/\/blog.netspark.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Yellow_Jacket_Taser-24x15.png 24w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The project itself is a starterupper and still waiting for a total funding of 100.000 US$.
