That little 2M resistor isn't going to be 2M with 10+kV across it - a resistor that size is only rated for 2-300V - at high voltages, it will arc across the spiral cut in the carbon film, so chances are the actual voltage was a lot lower

I took an alternate approach with mine. I have some of those stun gun coils, so I use one of those, triggered by a proximity sensor (IR reflective) going through a cheap arduino-type board. When it senses Mr. Mouse, it fires the coil for 5 seconds. Then it plays a happy tune on a piezo speaker to remind me to clean out the carcass before it starts to rot. I've done others in the past with ESP8266 boards, just so I can have it send my phone a message. Good for when you put the trap in some out of the way location that's not convenient to access to check.

[@armandcampos]

Electrophysiology Nurse here, common misconception that arrhythmias are heart attacks. People who have heart attacks (acute coronary artery blockages) can develop lethal arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation if the damage is bad. But this is closer to implantable cardiac defibrillator testing where we intentionally either deliver 80hz or a synchronized DC shock during the cardiac cycle to put people into VF, watch the device detect and treat them (shock them) to ensure their ICD works.

[@lloydsshednanigans]

Fascinating. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I knew, already, about the defib causing VF to allow for CPR in the field but using it for testing an ICD is something I hadn't though of.

It’s the weird shit we do in the controlled setting of the procedure labs. It’s fallen out of vogue as of the past 5 years since the tech and first time shock success rates are pretty good. Google St Jude Medical’s “DC Fibber” induction protocol. The bastards even trademarked it.

I've found the 2 best traps are: bucket with water in it (otherwise they can actually manage to jump out, despite the lid)... and the little tunnels that just trap them. the bucket is great because they fall in, it can capture a bunch. the tunnels are great because you can place them along edges of things where mice to to run, and they get baited right in. but they can only catch one at a time.. but possibly better because they can be placed along where the mice like to run. there's also a guy who has a channel dedicated to mouse traps of all sorts. he found a shallow bowl with peanut oil in it is also very good. they mice can't jump out because of the oil, they like the smell, and it can catch many overnight.

[@ddanielmiester]

Trick I learned about years ago from an ancient (pre geocities!) teslacoiler site is to use your meter's input impedance as the lower resistor of a voltage divider. Use a sufficiently large external resistor to get the ratio you want, and you have a very low parts count, super high impedance high voltage probe/meter. Most digital multimeters have a 10M input impedance, so putting a 90M or 900M or 9Gohm resistor in series will get you a 10x,100x, or 1000x probe. If you're feeling paranoid, you could also put a simple neon bulb (no resistor) across your meter to protect it from overvoltage, as most neon lamps don't start conducting until over 100vdc. yes, it will have a leakage current, but from the info I could find, if you use a standard NE-2 or equivalent, the worst cast error is about 1% when used on a 1000x divider, proportionally less error for 100x or 10x dividers. Since the meter impedance is not a controlled parameter, its accuracy is going to be significantly less than whatever error an NE-2 would add.

[@kelimike]

It operates on the voltage required to push the current through a mouse (load).

[@kelimike]

Add resistance and the voltage goes up if it triggers?

[@crautoguy8384]

5 gallon bucket, 14 inch wooden dowel 1/2" diameter, 6" of 1 inch diameter pvc pipe and some peanut butter works better than any other mouse trap I've ever seen. Place the dowel through the pvc pipe, then tape the dowel across the top of the bucket, add peanut butter to the pvc pipe and a small board ramp to the top of the bucket. Mouse climbs up, runs across the dowel, hits the pvc pipe, which rotates dropping him into the bucket. Live trap if bucket is empty, dead trap if half full of water.

the bent strip of sheet metal forming the bridge from one module to the other is going to fail after a while, and it does all corrode, eventually i found adding some extra negative enforcement helps, rodents apparently understand velocity, impact, and percussion as a serious immanent threat, an explosive bb and they can't get the f*** out of dodge quick enough, and tend to hold that association and avoid the vicinity rather than just the traps. less passive but cathartic
