Ok getting pissed off because every time I insert pictures it removes all my typing.. I typed a grand explanation as to how I built my electric fly swat static grass applicator.
It works fine.. except.
I want to put a DC supply into it but this might not be so good as it restricts movement.
Use good batteries.
Make the ground link wire light and flexible and reasonably long. I used wire to stiff and it occasionally tips over the base your working on.
