Modified electric fly swatter running on 9v

So simple, add a capacitor, remove the bleed resistor and use a 9v battery. MUCH BETTER

I found one of these recently, repaired water damage and it's been kinda ok with original battery except the battery doesn't last long. It makes mosquitoes and small moths explode but I'll think about your mod here thanks! One thing they aren't good for is larger moths, although they die right away, too much current across the "grid" really kills the battery. I can tell by the smell that it's just burning outer extremities and doesn't get the inside cooking like crab.

Did you change any component,because of the 9 volt battery? Or did you solder it in place,and that's it? I maybe want try it on my fly swatter. I already installed A 0,22 capacitor, that creates a nice spark, but i want more,to have fun with the flys.

Thanks very showing it working. Very informative

[@DanB1987]

It was quite nice, you enjoyed that.. Were you referring to the zap on your finger? 😂

One guy here in Sweden got arrested and sentenced for doing this. When altered, it was apparently conscidered a shock weapon.....

[@WayneSallee-comTech]

Are stun guns not allowed in Sweden? Wayne Sallee [e-mail]

Hand it to Sweden to mess up a good thing.

[@mrclucker1969]

Not an electrolytic capacitor - good for smoothing, rubbish for discharges.

[@Shishou_Shi]

Damn, all I have are electrolytic capacitors...

Will an x1 ckx 824k 300v work?

[@ToreTangKanalen]

Will it make any difference only changing it to 9V battery?

[@infidel202]

Did you try it out on the wife 😂

[@SabriHaimid]

Capacitor best in parallel or in series with each other? And also, is the 2kv more important or is the uF more important?

[@dieterblette1088]

Series is better in this case fron what i have Come to understand. In parallel the voltage of rach cap is being added on top of each other. In Series the voltage is being multiplied, i think, but i am All but a professional. Please correct me, if i am talking shite.

Will an x1 ckx 824k 300v work?

[@cappoisepic]

modded mine to 24 volts

[@WhatALoadOfTrash]

Wow

[@ramachandrancp9612]

FULISH IDIA-HOW TO RECHARGE-?

[@psilocube3968]

Fyi 9 volts are too many amd eventually you'll do nothing but short circuit and then its useless. Volts make the arc jump further. *not needed* hook up several AA's or C's in PARELLEL and you increase the amps. You want more amps than volts.

[@SynZ777]

Do you still need to do the modifications like this guy does like changing capacitors?
