except that the circuit has been simplified to include only capacitors c 1 and c 2 the fig1 circuit is capable of operating in a highly efficient or u201c tuned u201d dual mode configuration according to the teachings of the present invention fig2 illustrates an alternative configuration for coupling capacitors c 1 and c 2 to the stun gun output electrodes e 1 and e 2 via an output transformer having a single primary winding and a center tapped or two separate secondary windings the step up ratio relative to each primary winding and each secondary winding represents a ratio of 1 12 5 this modified output transformer still accomplishes the objective of achieving a 1 25 step up ratio for generating an approximate 50 000 volt signal with a 2000 volt power supply rating one advantage of this double secondary transformer configuration is that the maximum voltage applied to each secondary winding is reduced by 50 such reduced secondary winding operating potentials may be desired in certain conditions to achieve a higher output voltage with a given amount of transformer insulation or for placing less high voltage stress on the elements of the output transformer substantial and impressive benefits may be achieved by using the electronic disabling device.
