Where can I find circuit for electronic rat trap?

<< < (3/8) > >>

rs20:
The three stated voltages of rat traps I can find in a Google search is 8kV, 8.5kV, and 9kV. True that normal mains electricity might kill a rat, but perhaps doing it reliably, repeatably and humanely* is a different story.

* To be fair, with crushing/slow starvation of a normal mousetrap being our benchmark, there's a pretty low bar here.

soo true xD

i found out some of the consumer ones are powered from 4 c battries. so i dont think a rat will die from the low volts in junction with the low current. one of them needs to up alot..

Clearly, they are using an interter circuit to boost the voltage to several KV.
Not unlike the Xenon flash in your camera.

Greorge:
Did anybody here was successful to make something like that and could share circuit and list of components?

Neither do humans. Without appropriate knowledge and experience of dealing with high voltage you are more than likely to be the trap's first victim.
