Hi!
I wanted to make a good solution to the mosquito problem and thought about killing them in a fun way (lol) - using electricity.
I do have some components, that I think I would need, but I want to know if I will ran into problems.
So as far as I understand the bug zapper design, then it works in a very simple way:
There are 2 metal nets with a few millimeter gap from each other, those nets have current going trough. Those bastards are bit strong and need more volts then 220V@50Hz. As I read they all work in 2000V, there is a bulb inside and some other parts, but not so important.
So I need a transformer, I have a flyback transformer from an old CRT monitor (10 years old maybe), but will it work?
If not, why?
