This study is aimed at realizing a portable self defence weapon that generates a high voltage with small current to help escape from a potentially dangerous situation by stunning the attacker. This was realized using the basic principle of Cockcroft Walton theory and voltage transformation ratio of a transformer. The snubber network was also introduced to regulate the rate of change of the output voltage. The output of the device when implemented was found to produce 30kV at 3mA sufficient to deter the attacker, which justifies the theoretical value without causing any permanent deformity.
