INHALED MOSQUITO KILLER - unboxing and teardown

Today, let's take a look at a USB mosquito killer, called "inhahed mosquito killer" on its box. On other sides of the box, it's called "suction type mosquito killer" and "mosquito killer lamp". It's made by Photocatalysis. Type: KLY-188. It runs on 5V DC from a USB port. It says it draws 5W, but actually just 0.9W. It contains a brushless DC fan and 6 UV LEDs.

[@bgyuri1985]

the conclusion is: SUPER-DODGYYY!

[@abhijitborah]

The design seems to be inspired by the "blade less" Dyson fan.

[@Pirelli.]

Its a prototype from 1750 by DYSON 🤭 🤭 🤭

[@dwaynezilla]

Oh starting out with the fire extinguisher! Must be _very_ dangerous. Let me grab mine as well!

[@gonzocrunch8356]

I live in swizerland and we have a beer called "feuerlöscher" that means fire extinguisher

[@meszarosp]

I like your sense of humor ... you made me laugh again :) That bit with mosquito revenge was hilarious. Keep it up ... great review.

[@roberts1938]

Probably a mosquito is flying by and he looks at the leds and weakens with laughter, and then weakened, is pulled in by the windmill and stunned.

[@stanimir4197]

"he looks", definitely a 'she'; male mosquitos are harmless (aside for the fact they help increase the population immensely)

[@piconano]

Use a lighter and try to melt the strands of the metal in question. If it melts, it's aluminum wire coated with copper. Commonly found in Chinese El Cheapo wires. If it doesn't melt and is not magnetic, it's copper. ~ End of tip ~

[@TheLightningStalker]

It also disappears in sodium drain cleanser.

[@dwaynezilla]

"Not suitable for barns, barns or similar places" well where _can_ it be used, then?!

[@xmichix]

at barns for example! :D

[@WagTsX]

Man, those mosquito killer boxes are a very easy and useful project even for beginners to DIY using an old plastic container from anything, some cheap LEDs and an old fan, but in this product they just made it the worst possible way in terms of efficiency, don't even mention the fact that it may not even do it's job at all

[@yet_another_communist]

Yeah, it would be a great idea for a mosquito killer, but always those Chinese non-brand companies make the worst thing possible. (Sorry for my bad English)

[@jeffm2787]

As far as I know mosquitos are not attracted to UV light. Lots of other harmless bugs are.

[@Mark1024MAK]

That’s good, because that item does not emit UV light…

[@Conservator.]

You are correct. Mosquitoes are attracted by scents (like sweat) and by CO2.

[@jeffm2787]

@@Mark1024MAK LOL, well they are not attracted to fake UV light either. .

[@riccardomarinoni6733]

My electric bug lamp kill also a very large quantity of mosquito

[@martinzember8721]

@@riccardomarinoni6733 which one, please?

[@joinedupjon]

I'm pretty sceptical about the idea of using blue lights to attract mosquitoes altogether... some flying insects are phototropic but the biting mosquitoes are afaik attracted by CO2 breathed out by people and animals.

[@necrobynerton7384]

i mean look, not trying to be that guy but i have had one of those blue light "mosquito killer" with electric wires that shock them to death and it worked pretty well, obligatory to say it didn't just kill mosquitoes obviously. have had a lot of sleepfull nights cuz of it. Now that i think about it, it probably worked cuz it was (excusing the potential damage) hanging right on top of my head. probably my CO2 attracted them to stay there until it is time to strike, but alas, they got shocked to death.

[@jeffm2787]

@@necrobynerton7384 LOL. In normal situations you might get one or two that are attracted to the charmed remains of other insects but it's been pretty well known that they don't care about light. Unless it's sunlight and then they try to stay out of it. The crane fly looks like a mosquito and I'm pretty sure they'll fly to the light. Many people make that mistake.

[@necrobynerton7384]

@@jeffm2787 I mean, possible that too, I don't pay too much attention to insects. Though to be honest, I still would prefer the tried and true method of hunting them down with a fly swatter, gets you some exercise and fulfills your anger towards those little scratch infusers.

[@pirataga]

Diode, I have a humble request for a video! Chinese sellers sell something called Battery Desulfator, from what I've understood it feeds high voltage pulses to lead acid batteries and somehow that makes it work again, isn't this dangerous? Can't this make a battery overheat and explode?

[@app0the]

If it's a short pulse it won't have the time to overheat, but better to check anyway. I remember building a battery restore circuit along a tutorial out of an old film camera flash, but that was for NiMH batteries. Probably a good shock made it come alive again.

[@jkobain]

AFAIK, short pulses to shock the crystals and prevent them from building up.

[@Mark1024MAK]

The idea is the high voltage breaks through the lead sulfate crystals that build up and cause the cell or battery to fail. Hence possibility restoring the cell or battery enough that it can be used again. However, I’ve not actually tried this myself.

[@RicoElectrico]

I remember similar devices described in Polish electronics magazine (Elektronika dla Wszystkich). So this must have been legit, the head editor is smart, wouldn't sign it off otherwise :> Edit: search for AVT-733.

[@ManoharOfficial]

I heard something similar called a "battery booster" in local markets here in India. We literally call it "battery boosting" XD Now I know.

[@Tigrou7777]

The ON OFF label is probably to tell you how to open the back side of it, not how to turn it off.

[@bgyuri1985]

then it should be open close (not onoff), and placed the label on another place of the device, but thats right at the power cable, which more tells there shold be a switch.

[@gustavfenk4021]

Just one question: can I use this in a barn?

[@dogwalker666]

No only non barn's, lol.

[@ernstoud]

Only if it is of type “other”.

[@IbbiAhmed]

No, Not suitable for barns, barns or similar places

[@factorclassic]

What a wonderful accent and a sense of humor!

[@RK-kn1ud]

The USB cable is probably Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA). You can test this by performing a lighter/flame test.

[@dogwalker666]

They forgot to fit the high voltage zapper.

[@dogwalker666]

@@zhornz I doubt it, not powerful enough, I have seen midgies which are similar we dont get mosquitoes pass through computer fans without harm.

Give 12 volts to fan and test it.

[@rilosvideos877]

One of your more amusing videos! Warning before opening the mosquito prison! :-) I am afraid the smaller ones could even escape throught the vent holes, they seem to big for me. Sometimes there are really small mosquitos but they also bite... I prefere the HV-killers - you even have accustic feedback of success!

[@SirHackaL0t.]

Could the cable be copper covered aluminium?

[@MrDubje]

Was think the same thing, CCA Copper Clad Aluminium

[@Basement-Science]

could be, althought the resistance is quite high even for that.

[@darkmatterisgrey]

yes, it should definitely be CCA. I wonder how DiodeGoneWild missed that though.

[@darkmatterisgrey]

@@Basement-Science It has a lot of resistance probably due to being very thin diameter stranded wires, very britle and close to breaking point

[@DiodeGoneWild]

CCA would be way softer than this. I don't think they use CCA for such thin strands.

[@BDYT1422]

saw a couple of these at my local mall and i was like: Dodgy!! In diodegonewild's accent

[@cybermaus]

I know this type, had something similar 15 years ago from Conrad. Mosquitos die because the slow continuous breeze wears them down and dries them out.

[@nikiamz6501]

I really like when you make something different:)

[@kbndlovu9476]

You should do voice-overs 😁 👌🏾 thank you for this detailed video

[@Time-cc2qb]

I have one and I have never seen a mosquito caught in it. It does work good as a diffuser for air freshener or candle you put on the top.

[@ingenfestbrems]

My cat 🐈‍⬛ eats flying things 😊 so he’s not only a good friend but have a bonus feature

[@glasseffect]

Against all the presumptions about Mosquitos, what they see and what they don't, these 'dodgy' looking devices, indeed work if used the right way. You keep them in a place where there's little air activity, and relatively darker than the rest of the room, primarily, the safest place for mosquitos to hide. Run it though the night and you'll know. These devices come in different arrangements, not all are effective though. The mosquitos die gradually as they dehydrate due to continuous air draft, they're not killed by the fan.

[@kolinevans9127]

You've made it barn ready.

[@ZaneDaMagicPufferDragon]

Cheers 🍻 to your “Fire Extinguisher 🍺” 😉🧯 Interesting device to try and suck in mosquitoes 🦟 but as you say it’s junk out of the box 📦 with its own cable!!! The fan should be strong enough to keep the mosquitoes 🦟 pinned down against the end of the airflow path and dehydrate them, in the bottom of the grill it sits on. The collection bin has 4 tiny plastic feet to lift the grill like 1-2mm up off the flat surface. I barely noticed the feet.

[@Tensho_C]

this was hilarious. subbed

[@deltab9768]

I was half expecting this to be designed to kill "inhaled mosquitoes."

[@andreasu.3546]

I think, once inhaled by human, a mosquito will be pretty much dead without any additional devices used.

[@channelsixtysix066]

If you suspect there are mosquitos in the trap, get a can of flyspray and spray some above the fan so it suck it into the trap. This will kill of any critters.

[@Pirelli.]

But honestly, this "mosquito killer" is so bad because the mosquitoes laugh when they fly out the back. 😂I just say: SUPER DODGY! 👎🏻

[@jastrobaron]

After seeing the title I thought you inhaled some mosquito poison lmao

That copper cable is way too strangely silvery looking. I'm just trying to think of a metal that fits and I just can't. Can't think like a scammer I guess. I wonder if we're stretching by assuming it's metal inside, hahah. That kind of voltage drop is notable!

[@DumahBrazorf]

CCA?

[@dogwalker666]

Possibly an aluminium alloy that would explain it being non magnetic

[@lifeai1889]

that on off is for the musquito tray

[@rlawchrome]

"Inhaled" had me guessing for a while until it dawned on me that there is a suction/vacuum mechanism for sucking in the mosquitos...

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

Oh no! What have you done????????????????? Now the manufacturers of this magnificent device will NEVER sponsor you channel hahaha! :D

[@zloxi3797]

Do next video with the same thing but you test the fan force,try to make an weight less object almost as if it is the same size or same weigh as mosquito and try to put it on the fan to see if it would suck it up.

[@Reisskraft]

When removing the screws say- “one screw, two screws, thrrreee screws ahhh ahhh ahhh.

Well, the only thing that I can use to describe this is "cheap and nasty". The only thing you can do with this is salvage the fan, for cooling something else, and salvage the "ultraviolet" LEDs, for another purpose.

You should put an used sock to bring the Moskitos in the fan

If you don't want to wait for mosquitoes to die before opening, you can accelerate the process by igniting 70+% alcohol spray into the fan, should instantaneously roast most of them :)

[@rosekreuze]

I have mine can't even suck a smoke came from a mosquito insense. The fan is too weak to do what it should

[@elegri]

How much is the current after changing the cable?

[@DiodeGoneWild]

now it draws 0.22A, which might seem like a small difference, but for the LEDs it's about 80% extra current. The fan didn't get that much extra current, but it also got more voltage, also contributing to more power.

[@elegri]

@@DiodeGoneWild maybe the IC is regulating somehow fan speed. Or the additional voltage is not changing very much the working point of the fan.

Mosquitoes are not attracted by light but by CO2, sweat and other scents they can smell. Fly’s are attracted by (UV) light.
