It might be worth buying a disposable flash camera and chopping it apart to see if there's a way to get the flash to fire
The disposable cameras w/flash are a neat bit of technology. However, opening one up is not for the faint of heart - pun intended. They contain a small electronic voltage booster and a high voltage capacitor (read: caZAPitor) which discharges to power the strobe. The capacitor typically stores energy at 400-500 volts. It
will spot weld flesh (fingers of experience) and potentially worse.
