Violet wands are used as part of electricity play. Instead of just making your muscles twitch they also throw visible violet rays so it also appeals to your visual senses. They are often used in BDSM shows because they are quite spectacular to watch being used. They are very hard to get in Australia, but it is possible.

Tech Bits

Okay, lets start with the technical bits; a violet ray or violet wand is used to zap your victim with application of low current,high voltage (min 10kv to max 50kv typically), high frequency electricity jolt using a Tesla coil. Since the 1990s, it was used as a sexual stimulation device popular with the BDSM community.

Most modern violet wands consist of a plastic handle to which a permanently attached electrical cord plugs directly to the wall socket. It has an intensity level control along with an on/off switch.

The unit works in the same way an electromagnetic buzzer or fire bell works by rapidly turning the circut on and off thus serving the purpose of a spark gap in a normal Tesla coil. By varying the distance between the electrodes, the intensity of the output increases or decreases. The electromagnet also serves as an inductor to prevent the unit from drawing too much current. At the "tip" of the wand a socket allows for various electrodes to be inserted.

How it feels

The wand creates shock sensation when there is a gap between the electrode and the body; when the unit is in full contact, all that will be achieved is a slightly warm sensation. The electrodes come in various shapes and sizes, the kit I purchased came with a probe, a rake, a mushroom, and a bulb. I also understand that there is a curved hook shape and a y-shape that is somewhat like the rake. The probes are filled with a variety of gases, and each gas produces a different glow when power is applied. Contact between the coil and the probe is achieved by a metal collar.

The wand however is not a solo toy, its like tickling yourself, it doesn't work, sure the zap hurts, but you know its coming. Instead, it really needs a partner to play. An adventurous lady friend loves her nipple piercing and her clit piercings zapped repeatedly, and then pauses and then zapped again.

In exchange, she loves to zap metal butt plugs firmly embedded in her 'victim's' arse.

Violet wands were invented and sold by Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s. However, numerous companies copied his design and began selling the devices. Tesla refused to defend his invention, much to the consternation of his financial adviser.

One popular misconception is that violet wands produce ultraviolet light, and sometimes violet wands are erroneously called "Ultraviolet wands". Violet wands do not produce any significant amount of ultraviolet light and do not cause UV burns. However, the glass electrodes do generate ozone and nitrogen oxides, giving your skin the well known "ozone smell."

Borrowed from eBay

If you are interested in purchasing one you can have a look at the following link. I warn you it is a VERY expensive toy as is all electrosex gear. EagleLeather is one of the only places you can get electric gear in Australia. It is virtually impossible to import because it is considered a weapon, so they wont let it truu customs. Eagle Leather never fails to bring a smile to the deviates dial though :) (hmm except they are VERY rude with their prices!)
