I had several of those zapstick stun guns laying around, so i gutted one of them, as well as my flyswatter. Then i simply transfered the stun gun "insides" to my flyswatter, and upgraded to a 9v battery. The result is extremely effective at killing any bug ive needed to kill, particularly paper wasps. And whats nice is that i can hold the button down and get a continuous zapping effect, as opposed to having to press the button over and over for each "charge".

@@chich7089 I've noticed, an electrolytic capacitor of this value only charges to around 475V, standard it reaches 840V. So I added a couple 275V film capacitors instead so it still reaches it's 840V. Namely I have these three now in it: xgd-x2 mkp (standard), x1 ckx 824k 300v and a ps105k, both of those out of an old broken PC Power supply. It works and cooks more but since it's the same voltage with the double AAs it doesn't zap better at all, only cooks better.

Is it possible to electrify insect window screen to zap mosquitoes that are trying to get at you? I was looking out my window one evening and within minutes there were dozens of mosquitoes attracted to me exhaling CO2. If it weren't for the screen separating us, they would have feasted on me. I would love to be able to watch these vermin roast as they attempt to get at me.

Nice..... but, A capacitor in parallel adds its value to the value of the capacitor already in the swatter. This creates a bigger spark But the fly swatter remains under tension for minutes after letting go of the pushbutton. Therefore, a discharge resistor must be placed across the capacitor for safety. I think 22M 1/8 watt is enough (red red blue) I also wonder whether the electronics can withstand the larger charging current because the capacity has been increased. The voltage on the red wires outside the swatter is about 2000 Volts so the insulation of the wires is questionable. It is better to keep the capacitor inboard, there is enough space. Also do not cross the wires inside to the wire maze on the outside but run them parallel to the capacitor leads to avoid a flashover between wire end capasitor. Who I am? I'm a technical engineer at KEMA, The Netherland.

Don't understand how you could use caps rated at only 300-500 volts (as described in some of the comment replies.) Isn't the secondary creating something like 2 or 3 KV (I know it's DC, but its still in the kilovolt range)? Seems like those capacitors would break down at that voltage.
@serhio4275

Well i think he looked at what capacitor originally was inside and since it not breaks down it's voltage is okay. But maybe some not so honest manufacturer made it cheaply by putting inside capacitor without voltage reserve, and it's not good. The best way is to make a measurement through divider.

@ripstephenhawking8787
2 жыл бұрын
No, adding additional capacitance only increases the level of stored charge. It does nothing to change the voltage ⚡ input. To increase voltage you can do one of 3 things. Increase battery voltage to say a 9v battery. Modify the built in voltage doubler circuit into a tripler by adding additional capacitors and diodes to the circuit. Swap out the transformer for one with a higher turns ratio. OR..... you could just do away with the factory guts and make one of those 50,000v modules for sale on Amazon and eBay fit inside the handle along with adding the biggest 3.5-6v rechargeable lithium battery you can cram into it. Guaranteed devastation then!
@ripstephenhawking8787
2 жыл бұрын
If you do modify the circuit by increasing voltage ⚡, THEN you may have to install a capacitor with a higher voltage rating.... just remember that a capacitors voltage rating is only indicative of what it can withstand voltage wise. It says nothing about total capacitance and is not to be interpreted as an output value. A 10,000 v capacitor can work just as fine at 5 volts. Just don't exceed 10k on voltage.

The history of Cox engines is quite interesting. And it put a vast number of these things within reach of a lot of young folks with a small budget. That crankcase that is an extrusion was a big key to lowering cost. They had made cast ones, but they cost more to make and a number of the castings had flaws and had to be scrapped. I've known a number of women who wore very fetching perfume, but no perfume quite so good as the smell of the model airplane nitro fuel.
