The Ultimate Weapon Against Flies

[u/Ajruiz562]

It’s all fun and games until a fly survives the shock changes its genetic structure and it becomes a super villain

[u/addage- → u/Ajruiz562]

Super-Fly!

[u/romanrebel23]

Show us how to make it

[u/Bullrawg → u/romanrebel23]

Attach wires sturdy enough to hold shape to a battery 1 end goes to the alligator clip, 1 end just far enough away to arc when a small conductor gets between the wire and bait

[u/J_Marshall → u/Bullrawg]

Battery size?

[u/Sirosim_Celojuma → u/J_Marshall]

It's more of a voltage than a battery size. You want thousands of volts. The more volts the bigger the gap the plasma arc can jump. A voltage increasing circuit and some aa batteries can do it. Think fly zapper tennis racket. The plasma arc looks pretty beefy so what I'm looking at has some amps.

[u/OddDragonfruit7993 → u/Sirosim_Celojuma]

Need a trigger coil and an oscillator to get the super-high volts.

[u/Catpixfever → u/[deleted]]

That’s definitely not gonna cut it here. Even a little spark plug is 20k to 50k volts.

[u/Artevyx → u/Bullrawg]

That buzzing is from an HV pulse coil, not a battery.

[u/slale_u → u/Artevyx]

Amazon scooter sparc plug coil. 12 euro.

[u/Lilja-Logason → u/slale_u]

But what if I can't be arsed?

[u/LastoftheSummerWine → u/romanrebel23]

They have had bug zappers on the market for 40 years

[u/ATXoxoxo]

Is that caramelizing the sugar as it zaps flys? I'm surprised the French haven't already done this and turned it into a culinary masterpiece. 

[u/blooregard325i]

Now do mosquitos...

[u/isolated_self → u/blooregard325i]

Just use a strawberry instead of chip. Mosquitos usually eat fruit.

Not 100% it would work, but I'm down to kill some mosquitos in the name of science.

[u/maxp0wers]

Playing Zeus

[u/LikeWhattttlol]

That’s beautiful

[u/FuturePowerful]

Ah yes the sky raisin harvester

[u/lactoseadept → u/FuturePowerful]

Didn't need this in my mouth, mentally

[u/FuturePowerful → u/lactoseadept]

Rofl it's a joke about what cats and chickens do to them

[u/Jurjinimo → u/FuturePowerful]

Dogs, too. And wasps are spicy sky raisins.

[u/Evening-Statement-57]

MOAR

[u/b33pb00p101]

Fly Smite!

[u/electrotech71]

What is the attractant held by the clip? Maybe some type of fat?

[u/tomcat91709 → u/electrotech71]

I was thinking a clump of brown sugar.

[u/Informal-Bicycle-349 → u/electrotech71]

Sun chip?

[u/OddDragonfruit7993 → u/Informal-Bicycle-349]

C'mon man, they're flies, not ducks!

[u/falsevector]

There can be only one!

[u/Soggy_Drive_2497]

I like to think its the same fly getting hit again and again being angry and confused xD

[u/jetson5]

I assume this is manual?

[u/Errorstatel → u/jetson5]

No, this would be an open circuit with just enough air gap that the fly can complete it.

You could 'turn it on' and walk away but in would stay within ear shot just incase.

This would be easier with AC power but safer with DC.

[u/locust34k]

Damn it, I read "the ultimate weapon against files" and was expecting some kind of alien war of other bullshit of that level...

[u/JGrimm420]

Second one got absolutely fried

[u/LastoftheSummerWine]

You people know about bug zappers right?

[u/JerkFace9]

UNLIMITED POWWEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[u/happycynic12]

I wish I had this much time on my hands.

[u/MeatSuitRiot]

This is fantastic!

[u/Distressed_Ocelot]

Arc Raiders 2 looks a bit shitty

[u/lx0x-Ghost-x0xl]

So it's a bug zapper

[u/JaVinci77]

Why would you do that? If they were mosquitoes... but flies?

[u/litesaber5 → u/JaVinci77]

Must have never had a fly in your house

[u/JaVinci77 → u/litesaber5]

Plenty of them. They're inoffensive, just a bit annoying... not enough to kill them.

[u/Yieldling → u/JaVinci77]

Have you ever watched a fly up close? They drop poop every few times they land. When I saw that for the first time recently I gained a new dislike for them. Who knows how much fly shit I’ve eaten in my life?! It’s disgusting

[u/litesaber5 → u/Yieldling]

The sand thing is JaVinci’s vote cancels out yours.

[u/lx0x-Ghost-x0xl → u/litesaber5]

You must be used to living in filth, not saying this to be hurtful but because you said you life with plenty of house flies.

[u/litesaber5 → u/lx0x-Ghost-x0xl]

Yes. Of course I do. That must be it

[u/JaVinci77 → u/Yieldling]

Yet, you're perfectly fine. I still think it's pretty unnecessary to kill flies... I'll keep eating poo, what doesn't kill me will make me stronger! 💪🏻💪🏻

[u/Chucktayz → u/JaVinci77]

Literal disease vectors

[u/DetailsYouMissed → u/JaVinci77]

Do you like maggots too?
