I didn't make it a buddy of mine sent me the picture but I'm assuming a handle to pick it up.

When that kilowatt comes off that loop it's really rolling !

The outdoor unit on the airconditioner at the ranch is unfortunately just as effective. I've spent more than one summer weekend sweating my *** off because some mouse got a little too curious and fried the circuit.

No, a friend of mine sent me the picture, but since there is so much interest I may just have too. Need to get one of my game cams out as well I guess.

EastTx · 05-16-2017, 10:05 PM

That is a genius design!

Etxbuckman · 05-16-2017, 10:09 PM

The best way to use 120 is to put a light bulb in series with the hot.

As the animal gets shocked(completes the circuit) the bulb acts as a resistor and lowers the current. Still kills, without tripping a breaker. The higher wattage bulb will make less current at the end

Rubi513 · 05-16-2017, 10:59 PM

The resistance of the rat won't allow enough current to flow to trip the breaker.

I don't know why it wouldn't, the sons electric fence has taken out a couple of cottontails, one rattlesnake, and one pullet so far this year. With 110 they just need a millisecond, with the dc fence they have to get hung up for a few pulses.

So where is Mickey with his hair on fire

Same principle was used by one of my old running buddies on coons in the trash can. Hot to the metal can, mounted off the ground on a piece of plastic pipe. Neutral to a section of metal screen under the can. Quite the spectacle to see a coon with his hair on fire. It was on a 30 amp breaker, so it took a lot before she tripped.

Haha. Many years ago my grandfather did something similar to dogs that kept peeing on his trash cans.

heck no!

If you dont laugh at the first jumping jolt, you need to have your hear beat checked

The designer says in the comments he needs to add some capacitors to finish the job

But they both walked off. Not sure if I want to continue the endeavor if that's the results. Very entertaining though.
