BG> Why not do as I once did - make sure the door knob is isolated BG> from any other metal, then attach a 240VAC mains lead to it, BG> switched ON at night. Just don't forget to turn it off when you BG> get up each morning, that's all. And yes, I know that man traps BG> are illegal, but I really don't care any more. I considered it... or a solar powered 5KV generator, anyway; just leave bare wires hanging down inside the door and a switch no one could miss. I designed a lovely little flyback oscillator that ran off 12V, but I never got around to installing it. I reckon you could sell a think like that. They sell negative ion generators with a voltage multiplier to about 5KV out of 0.01uF capacitors. They'd go rather well, if you made up a little 12V solar battery and arranged a mesh of fine wires hanging just inside the shed door. You could almost guarantee no burglar would get more than one step past the mesh! ROFL!!!
