INHALED MOSQUITO KILLER - unboxing and teardown
Ғылым және технология
Today, let's take a look at a USB mosquito killer, called "inhahed mosquito killer" on its box. On other sides of the box, it's called "suction type mosquito killer" and "mosquito killer lamp". It's made by Photocatalysis. Type: KLY-188. It runs on 5V DC from a USB port. It says it draws 5W, but actually just 0.9W. It contains a brushless DC fan and 6 UV LEDs.

The design seems to be inspired by the "blade less" Dyson fan.

Use a lighter and try to melt the strands of the metal in question. If it melts, it's aluminum wire coated with copper. Commonly found in Chinese El Cheapo wires. If it doesn't melt and is not magnetic, it's copper. ~ End of tip ~

Man, those mosquito killer boxes are a very easy and useful project even for beginners to DIY using an old plastic container from anything, some cheap LEDs and an old fan, but in this product they just made it the worst possible way in terms of efficiency, don't even mention the fact that it may not even do it's job at all

Yeah, it would be a great idea for a mosquito killer, but always those Chinese non-brand companies make the worst thing possible. (Sorry for my bad English)
I'm pretty sceptical about the idea of using blue lights to attract mosquitoes altogether... some flying insects are phototropic but the biting mosquitoes are afaik attracted by CO2 breathed out by people and animals.

i mean look, not trying to be that guy but i have had one of those blue light "mosquito killer" with electric wires that shock them to death and it worked pretty well, obligatory to say it didn't just kill mosquitoes obviously. have had a lot of sleepfull nights cuz of it. Now that i think about it, it probably worked cuz it was (excusing the potential damage) hanging right on top of my head. probably my CO2 attracted them to stay there until it is time to strike, but alas, they got shocked to death.

@@necrobynerton7384 LOL. In normal situations you might get one or two that are attracted to the charmed remains of other insects but it's been pretty well known that they don't care about light. Unless it's sunlight and then they try to stay out of it. The crane fly looks like a mosquito and I'm pretty sure they'll fly to the light. Many people make that mistake.

Diode, I have a humble request for a video! Chinese sellers sell something called Battery Desulfator, from what I've understood it feeds high voltage pulses to lead acid batteries and somehow that makes it work again, isn't this dangerous? Can't this make a battery overheat and explode?
@app0the

If it's a short pulse it won't have the time to overheat, but better to check anyway. I remember building a battery restore circuit along a tutorial out of an old film camera flash, but that was for NiMH batteries. Probably a good shock made it come alive again.

The idea is the high voltage breaks through the lead sulfate crystals that build up and cause the cell or battery to fail. Hence possibility restoring the cell or battery enough that it can be used again. However, I’ve not actually tried this myself.

The USB cable is probably Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA). You can test this by performing a lighter/flame test.
Give 12 volts to fan and test it.
So , let's have a Mosquito to test !
this was hilarious. subbed
One of your more amusing videos! Warning before opening the mosquito prison! :-) I am afraid the smaller ones could even escape throught the vent holes, they seem to big for me. Sometimes there are really small mosquitos but they also bite... I prefere the HV-killers - you even have accustic feedback of success!

Cheers 🍻 to your “Fire Extinguisher 🍺” 😉🧯 Interesting device to try and suck in mosquitoes 🦟 but as you say it’s junk out of the box 📦 with its own cable!!! The fan should be strong enough to keep the mosquitoes 🦟 pinned down against the end of the airflow path and dehydrate them, in the bottom of the grill it sits on. The collection bin has 4 tiny plastic feet to lift the grill like 1-2mm up off the flat surface. I barely noticed the feet.
These vacuum mosquito traps actually work; I've captured several last year.
I was half expecting this to be designed to kill "inhaled mosquitoes."
@andreasu.3546
3 жыл бұрын
I think, once inhaled by human, a mosquito will be pretty much dead without any additional devices used.
I have fixed one with a faulty fan and the fan doesn't work on 12v, which is sooo weird. Can you look at the fan?
"Inhaled" had me guessing for a while until it dawned on me that there is a suction/vacuum mechanism for sucking in the mosquitos...
please teardown the gongtian w910 mini fan rechargeable.
If you suspect there are mosquitos in the trap, get a can of flyspray and spray some above the fan so it suck it into the trap. This will kill of any critters.
Funny video. Thanx
When removing the screws say- “one screw, two screws, thrrreee screws ahhh ahhh ahhh.
You should put an used sock to bring the Moskitos in the fan
Do next video with the same thing but you test the fan force,try to make an weight less object almost as if it is the same size or same weigh as mosquito and try to put it on the fan to see if it would suck it up.
Against all the presumptions about Mosquitos, what they see and what they don't, these 'dodgy' looking devices, indeed work if used the right way. You keep them in a place where there's little air activity, and relatively darker than the rest of the room, primarily, the safest place for mosquitos to hide. Run it though the night and you'll know. These devices come in different arrangements, not all are effective though. The mosquitos die gradually as they dehydrate due to continuous air draft, they're not killed by the fan.
that on off is for the musquito tray
Cool..

Well, the only thing that I can use to describe this is "cheap and nasty". The only thing you can do with this is salvage the fan, for cooling something else, and salvage the "ultraviolet" LEDs, for another purpose.
I think box is funnier than product :)
AC for mosquitoes 😝
Good old Chinglish instructions.
If you don't want to wait for mosquitoes to die before opening, you can accelerate the process by igniting 70+% alcohol spray into the fan, should instantaneously roast most of them :)
You sound like Count Dracula 🧛🏿♂️
Looks like it could only kill the most sickly mosquitoes.
How much is the current after changing the cable?
@DiodeGoneWild

now it draws 0.22A, which might seem like a small difference, but for the LEDs it's about 80% extra current. The fan didn't get that much extra current, but it also got more voltage, also contributing to more power.

@@DiodeGoneWild maybe the IC is regulating somehow fan speed. Or the additional voltage is not changing very much the working point of the fan.
