How to Contain Your Hulda Clark Zapper Breadboard Circuit
Because I enjoy building custom Hulda Clark Zappers, I often need the smallest breadboard I can find so my circuit will fit inside the container or toy I have chosen. It's a real challenge to fit the breadboard, a battery, a switch, and banana plugs into an object that never intended to have such things inside them, and cutting breadboards smaller is a difficult job at best. Here I share my Hulda Clark Zapper circuit so it all fits on the SYB-170, a very small breadboard that is about 1 13/16" X 1 3/8" and will help you make your build fit into many more areas the larger breadboards do not allow. Be sure to share your homemade zapper with us on Insta or TikTok by tagging us @huldaclark or #huldaclarkzapper. We love to see the Hulda Clark Zappers you make. Happy Zapping!!!
Once you have completed your breadboard circuit, it's time to house it all inside a box, container, or other plastic or wood (non-conductive) enclosure. Many use the cardboard box the kit comes in. If you would like to think out of the box, here is a fun resource to help you find the right kind of enclosure for your zapper circuit and battery.
When on the prowl for an enclosure, imagine where the breadboard, battery, switch, and banana ports will go. Search your toy box, or hit Goodwill to find yourself a fun enclosure, and let's get crafting a nifty custom zapper. My favorite containers are any electronic toy or gadget that already has a battery compartment, on / off switch, and hopefully some LEDs that I can adapt into the circuit for maximum awesomeness.
In the video playlist I find a container that can house the breadboard zapper and a 9 volt battery. When I need more room, I cut the breadboard in half; I will show you how to adjust the zapper circuit accordingly. Many of these are advanced builds. Work at your ability level, and get more and more complex with later builds. It can be really fun to make custom zappers for friends and family.
Remember:
- Start out by completing a Hulda Clark Zapper Breadboard Kit
- Test Hz and Volts DC output using Multimeter
- Hot Glue battery wires and circuit to keep everything in place
You may need these tools:
- Hand Drill, Drill Gauge, Drill Bits
- Electronics Screwdriver set of Mini Bits (to take electronics apart)
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Wire Stripper
- Soldering Iron
- Jewelers' Saw and Blades
- Pipe cutter to cut copper pipe, or have hardware store cut for you
- Half round file to smooth sharp edges of copper pipe handles
The Build Your Own Hulda Clark Zapper Kit includes: Breadboard, 555 CMOS Timer, 7 resistors: (2) 1K Ohm, 2.2K Ohm, 4.7K Ohm, 39K, (2) 270K Ohm, (2) .0047 uF Capacitors, Red LED, (8) Color Jump Wires, (2) Alligator Leads, and Soldered Battery Snap/On-Off Switch. All this comes in a sturdy little cardboard box you can use to house your finished circuit. The full-color instructions will help you build either a 30,000 Hz or 1,000 Hz circuit. Kit does not include copper pipes.
Note: There are minor updates to the Build Your Own Zapper Kit. We have adjusted the jump wires for a better fit. We have also pre-soldered the 9-volt battery snap to the on/off switch. These updates are not shown in this video, but are clearly described in the kit instructions. It's so easy to build. No soldering required!

Already have electronic parts?
The Hulda Clark Zapper has not been licensed as a medical device by the US FDA. The Build Your Own Zapper Kit is sold as an educational tool only. No medical claims are intended by the sale of these electronic parts. Our Zapper Kit is a great project for a school science fair or to learn the basics of building simple electronics. Please note that when ordering electronic parts and kits we can assume no liability on the customer's ability to use them. Safety, craftsmanship, experience, and ability are the user's responsibility. Electronic parts are small and fragile. We can not offer refunds or replacements on electronic parts. Buy electronic parts and kits only if you believe you can accomplish the work.
The 555 CMOS Timer is the most likely part to need replacement, so it may be smart to order extras when building a kit.
The 555 CMOS Timer is vulnerable to static electricity. If you walk on a carpeted floor and the 555 receives a static shock it may burn out and need replacement. If you ever touch the 9-volt battery backwards to the battery snap, it may burn out the 555. You may want to protect your 555 by adding a 1N914 Switching Diode to your kit.
