Hi,
I have seen these "new" bug zappers formed like a tennis racquet on sale
lately and I am trying to figure out (without having opened one) how they
are working.
They are powered by 2 * 1,5 V batteries. This dc voltage is transformed into
an ac-signal (inverter) and used to charge a big capacitor (perhaps with
some kind of voltage multiplier in between).
When a bug short-circuits the wires on the racquet the energy in the
capacitor is discharged through it and it dies.
Am I on the right track or do I have to buy one and look inside?
Best regards,
Kim.
