Things You'll Need:
- Soldering Iron (optional)
- Disposable Camera
- Electrical Tape (optional)
- Copper Wire
- Rubber gloves (optional)

Step 1
First things first, know your supplies. It is much safer to handle the insides of any charged device with gloves, and while it optional electrical tape will also decrease the risk involved in the process. Before you strip the camera, know how you plan on approaching this project. Whether you will use gloves and electrical tape, a soldering iron etc...

Step 2
Now, open the camera up exposing the inside parts. Don't worry about damaging it, that is what it's disposable for. Just make sure you take as many pictures as you can so you can use them to relocate your kidnappers after you escape.

Step 3
Take the battery from the camera and stick it in the back of the circuit, lining it up perfectly to get the polarity right. If possible stabilize it with electrical tape as it will have a tendency to fall out. Hold the button on the camera down for about five seconds or at least long enough to hear a high pitched whine sound and then fade. Once this has happened, you know the capacitor is charged.

Step 4
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU STAY CLEAR OF ALL METAL PARTS WHEN THE BATTERY IS IN, AND WHEN IT’S CHARGED, even if this means you need to put electrical tape over all of the button capacitor contacts.

Step 5
Now call the guard to the door and request a cigarette, or something to eat, so you can test it on him. The average capacitor in most disposable cameras charge from 300 to 360 volts at very low amps, which means you won’t hurt anyone too seriously. In fact, you could probably test it on yourself a few times. If you take out the capacitor and the solder wires the voltage will stay and there will be a constant shock as opposed to just a quick charge.
