Hello boys, girls, ladies and gentlemen.
I live in a developing country and my property has been invaded by
armed thugs.They also tried killing me. So I have a choice of either
sleeping with a Kalashnikov or hiring an armed thug. But I don't like
getting people in trouble so I'd like to develop electric fence. Is
anybody here smart enough to understand how to do it? I will chain up
dog at night so no danger ... I keep my goat tied also and my hen
normally sleep.
Please send good answers based on REAL Electronics and not things
like its too dangerous, get cattle protection or you can get shut up
for life.

The U.S. Army has a strong interest in developing stuff like this. They
don't seem to have come up with anything useful yet.
The only practical solution is to organise your own crew of armed
non-thugs. For this you will need an ideology, a bunch of people dumb
enough to fall for the ideology, and smart enough to spread it, and
enough seed money to pay for arms for them and their first generation
of converts.
There are a number of off-the-shelf ideologies available.
Cuban Communism works better than most, and the Cubans seem to be able
to find lots of well-educated and healthy volunteers to help their
ideological pals
Drug-pushing hedonism does seem to make more money, but falls short on
the armed non-thugs - the high cash-flow seems to bring out the thug in
every gun-carrier.
Religious fanaticism has had its advocates for a very long time, but
the Taliban and Franco have given this approach a bad name - choosing
an irrational ideology does leave you vulnerable to religious maniacs,
and it can make a horrilbe mess of any education system you may want to
set up.
Anarcho-syndicalism did work pretty well in Catalonia - for about six
months in 1936 - but this was based on more than thirty years of
education and organisation, which you may not find practical.
