I really like your solution to fixing the wire, simple and reliable, great project!

Really great work!

you can also make a two closely separated chicken wire as the zapper, just make sure the voltage isn't big enough to make the current arc through the air, only the mosquito body that become the medium of the current

Hello, I really like your channel, very instructive. I need to ask, what wattage of resistors did you use in this circuit.

great idea ...

same CCFL inverter circuits from monitors is a better solution to convert 12v to 1..4kV

Epic project

Super cool

nice werk

Pretty neat. I would like to mention a person might want to experiment with UV LEDs and find a way to use dry ice (frozen CO2) with it. Mosquitoes can see UV radiation and use CO2 to find their victims.

resistors are connected in sehries ?

I highly recommend my method of stripping magnet wire.

Unprotected electrified grid connected to a mains powered voltage multiplier is a kinda bad idea

just crossed my mind that for those who have cats or dogs it would be wise to guard the wires so they can not touch it

It would probably wise to just hang it and connect with a extension wire plug so it would be keep out of reach of childrens and house pet

You forgot to mention that this has absolutely no galvanic isolation, and if you touch it you're likely going to die, even if you don't touch both wires.

Can someone please explain to me how the power is supplied?

ok, 220v with 2stage voltage doubler = about 680v on the capacitors that is made to handle 400v!!! wtf!!!

The Voltage that each capacitor handles is the recrified mains, so approximately 320 volts if l'm not wrong

@@diyelectronics5537 nope, it is double the peak voltage of mains, so yeah more than 600V

But what important of it please

when this device was killing mosquitoes in the video a mosquito tried to save them by biting me

Although operating principle is OK, I would discourage it for safety issues. No protection from weather, from short circuits and worst of all from being touched by pets or people. This can kill - (and not only mosquitoes).Good quality insect zappers are not that expensive and have safety features installed.. If one is inclined to experiment, at least safety features should be included.

Not high enough voltage

Only problem with this is mosquitoes aren't attracted to light

i recently made something like this. my one was powered from a microwave power supply in order to zap everything. the result is that last night i found my workshop in flames, what a stupid idea!

microwave oven transformer is the worst idea for such application. they have way too high idle power consumption
