Where can I find circuit for electronic rat trap?
floobydust:
Ordinary HV DC from a multiplier does not do it, the start up time (squeal) spooks the rodent to run away. HV AC doesn't mess up EMG and is not as effective.
You need at least 7kV in pulsing DC. The approach is pulsing a flyback transformer at 235Hz, for around 20 seconds. It would basic to build using a small MCU like ATTiny85, and control a motor for the dump. Below is flowchart for mouse trap.
There are many (censored) youtube videos on different traps. They do conceal PSU details.
digsys:
Describing methods is not a problem, all available on www, but posting actual diagrams, especially for a novice, is irresponsible and can be a legal minefield.
You should look for a friend or club that can teach you, and point out the dangers.
ledtester:
Perhaps all you need is a 12V car battery:
Then again, maybe just a bucket of water will work... if you can just get one mouse to drop into it!
(e.g. at the 6:30 mark).
Greorge:
Sorry for trouble to all concerned.
But if there is diagram and parts list somewhere on the net I am still interested.

As to those videos on the net, comments were that they are pet rats and mice.
