Never heard that before. It’s a good quote. I was responding to the TS
I figured he's talking about a battery powered tennis-racket style zapper. These just use a HV capacitor. And regarding the jokes about getting multiple bugs in one zap, I don't think that would really be possible, or at least it's extremely unlikely. There may be 5 other bugs flying through the grid unharmed, as the capacitor recharges. The one I have seems to recharge about 5 times/second. I do think this counter is a fun idea. How about a Hall effect transducer on one of the HV leads?Why would the grid of a big zapper be DC instead of AC?
