It is an extremely simple electric/mechanical circuit. It is slower when the relay's armature is heavier or when it is driven by an electronic circuit.
wow... you really cleared that one up didn't you. there is just a few things wrong with your fix. first, there is no way to replace the arm of an enclosed relay; and second, there should be an easier way to drive this circuits speed without adding an additional circuit to it. Do you think I could possibly do it with power modulation or something similar? And if it must be driven by another circuit, could you at least sketch something up?
Why are you making a square-wave then stepping up the voltage with a transformer? Why do you use a mechanical relay instead of using an electronic oscillator?
The relay might switch slower if a capacitor is comnnected in parallel with its coil. Try 100uF.
the transformer is not stepping up the voltage... this is an old fun tazer circuit for a puzzle game I made. the transformer contacts are connected to the player, and would they be shocked when the time ran out or when the controller touched the side. anyway, thanks for the capacitor suggestion.
