hey sjog

all you need to know is in the pictures 8)

the flyswatter costed me about 3 dollars i guess and as paaiyan sad, a little more voltage and there you go :wink:

all you need are the chips inside the flyswatter, a couple cables and a working brain :D


btw. i tried to put 18V on it... but it didn`t work out to well. it zapped just once and made a weird RRRRR sound :lol: , so i 9V it was. works perfectly and is definitively cheaper then stun, lasts for a long time (depends how you treat it) and its 100% legal. 8)


the flyswatter used was something similiar to this:

Thanks for the come back on that.
That is a great idea. Stuns are cool but not dependable.
I will keep an eye out for the swatter.

Jokke Himself: This is the first I've heard of using an electric flyswatter in this application. A how-to is in order and maybe even a wiki page.

Edit: You said you put 18V through it and it did not work as well? Were the two batteries (assuming you used two 9Vs) ran parallel or in series?

hi again

i tryed both parallel and series, but no matter what i did it din`t work out as i expected. so 9V is the "ultima" on the flyswatter(atleast the one i got) :wink:


gotta catch a meeting now!
ill maybe post a "how-to" later

see ya guys! :D

well... here it is :D

the flyswatter-igniter how-to thing =p


might help out and make people easily understand what is done(atleast i hope so).
so what do you guys think about the how-to this far? :D


and hubb, would you like to make a wiki of this for me? I dont have to much time at the computer. As long as you give Joakim "Jokke" Holmberg (me) a little credit it would be great! :wink:

and sjog. I do not have any link to the flyswatter i used. it was bought at a local store. It is a rechargeable 3v flyswatter. so if you find something similiar to that, im pretty sure they dont differ much :wink:

Been thanked: 1 time

I've seen them at Wal-Mart, for those of you who want one. Pretty much any store that has a decent section for patio accessories and such.
