Rajasthan: A Niranjan Suthar, 17, hailing from Rajasthan has made an e-armour for girls, which shocks a molester numb on contact and tracks the girl’s location to the police, according to government officials.
The e-armour device weighs 150 grams and is worn on the wrist. All that the user has to do is to switch it on when sensing trouble. The moment the girl defends herself with the wired hand, the molester will get a 220-volt shock, the officials said.
The device came into light when it won the first prize during a state-level science fair in January this year. The student’s project will be displayed in the National Science Fair to be held in March in Delhi, officials said.
Sudhar said he learnt the circuiting from internet sources but joined them into a utility device himself and named it as ‘Shocking Glove’.
The Glove is fitted with a SIM card, a GPS chip, a video camera and a 3.4-volt battery and a transformer which amplifies 3.4 volts to 220 volts on contact. It is a technical hybrid between a shock gun and a cell phone, Sudhar said, adding that a glove cost him Rs. 500.
