I want to run a stun gun arc from the box about 25 feet. What would be the
best wire to use? I want to use a two wire combo that is within one sheath,
like a light cord. For that high voltage, should I use something as common
as regular wire, or should I use solid copper wire.
I got my gopher blaster working, and having the button anywhere close to the
burrow opening is not a good thing. I had two blasts that were louder than
a .357 Magnum.

Homebrew open wire feed-line.
For 50 KV (plus 100% margin) you need ~1.3" of air separation between
conductors. Chop up and 'through drill' some plastic rod into 2" long
spacers to put at 3" intervals to hold the wires apart.

IMHO, it would be better to put the stun gun at the intended area and
the wiring to -control- it running the 25 feet to the trigger area.

Yeahbut.
Some percentage of the time, Steve is gonna press the 'go' button
and be sans whoomph.
He gets to come out from his firing position and creep up on his
HV box, modified for remote triggering. How does he safely trouble-
shoot and test his system?
If the HV box is right next to Steve, he can disconnect it and do
all his testing behind his shield.
