I opened my electric fly swatter to see how it worked. I was curious about how it could convert 3VDC (2*D batteries) into the quoted 1500V.
What I see is a capacitor (400nF) at the end, and a voltage multiplier (Villard I think - 4 diodes and 4 capacitors) and then a *something*... labelled Q1. What is that component, is it like a miniature flyback?
Thanks.
