Building a DIY defibrillator in an emergency,
<< < (5/10) > >>
Wallace Gasiewicz:
Someone brought this thread back to life.I do have a MacGiver defibrillator in the house, I just did not realize it ....How about 700V on the plates of a 100 watt amplifier? Like the old Yeasu 101 or the Kenwood 520 or even the old Drakes and Hallicrafter radios?Probably enough juice, just be careful to zap with the DC and not with transmit turned on.Certainly this is not a common household device, but some of you have one.
Or even the volts on the old CRTs although this is very high voltage.
By the way, I am not advocating anyone actually try this.

Pun intended? ;)

mikeselectricstuff has a few defibrillator teardowns on his channel. I remember one had schematics too.

Instead of a defibrillator, perhaps a chest compression machine would be an easier contraption to build?

In sincerely doubt it.

Like an oscilloscope ?
Wonder where an EE would find one of those.  :-DD
