Abstract:
1. An electronic disabling device for disabling a target comprising: a. first and second electrodes that establish first and second spaced apart points in or near the target wherein a gap exists between at least one of the electrodes and the target; and b. a high voltage power supply comprising an output circuit for switching into and operating in a first output circuit configuration to generate a first higher voltage output across the first and second electrodes during a first time interval to ionize air within the gap and to enable a current across the gap and for subsequently switching into and operating in a second output circuit configuration to generate a second lower voltage output across the first and second electrodes during a second time interval to maintain the current through the target thereby producing involuntary muscle contractions that disable the target; c. wherein the first output circuit configuration comprises: d. wherein the second output circuit configuration comprises:
