Awhile back I made a really simple stun glove that I ended up recently improving by increasing the capacitance, basically it's just a charging capacitor bank that you discharge by touching something. It's fucking crude and I'm not all that happy with it. I was thinking off adding an oscillating transistor to the circuit in order to get a cool whine as it recharges the bank plus actually charges properly. Hey, it's a big glove and it's already impractical as-is unless I want to give someone cardiac arrest.
But what I was also interested in was more of a proper stun gun effect for a second version which I'd like to make just for shits and giggles as more show, less go. I'm looking specifically at how electricity arcs across the contact points on a stun gun and would like to have this effect crackling across the contacts in the fingers of a glove. Do I just need transformers to step up voltage severely and the electricity will arc across the contacts as natural course or...?

Edit - I'm going to need to tear through patents I'm thinking to figure out how the fuck they do it with stun guns without killing the other guy.
I found this but I don't think the voltage will reach the breakdown voltage of air.

But this will hehehe.
