Hey folks, I've got the sure fire tweeker repellent for my pick up. I installed a Magneto from a Cessna 152 onto my firewall. hooked it up to the battery a run two magnetic alarm plates to each door (the kind you find in Brink's home alarm systems, on your windows) I put them on my door jams. So if they break my window and open either door they get hit with 10,000 volts. The idea behind a magneto is simple. It is basically an electrical generator that has been tuned to create a periodic high-voltage pulse rather than continuous current. An electrical generator (or a magneto) is the reverse of an electromagnet In an electromagnet there is a coil of wire around an iron bar (the armature). When you apply current to the electromagnet's coil (e.g., with a battery), the coil creates a magnetic field in the armature. In a generator, you reverse the process. You move a magnet past the armature to create electric current in the coil. the good thing is it only has 2 AMPS.
The bad news is when my Tweeker neighbor broke into my truck and it put him on his ass he called the local sherifs and they almost took my butt to the Thurston Co. jail. They arrested him instead but told me I had to dismantle it because it might be lethal to anyone breaking in to my truck.
