A better mouse trap!

[Master Hack]

I saw this somewhere. Since the Mountain Top Labratory is surrounded by hay fields, l thought it was worth a try. It works and is way more fun than snap traps.

Explain please? I got a few little $hits here I’d like to fry!

Bare wire with peanut butter connected to 120 volt. Aluminum plate connected to neutral/ground. Victim steps on aluminum touches bare wire with mouth and completes the circuit. Fun stuff!

 

[Denny]

Do they pop and slatted all over? Don’t want no mess.

 

[Master Hack]

The 120v version is very clean.
Being as f****d up as l am, l have a 330VDC version as well. Use yer imagination....

 

[Denny]

I just hope I don’t catch the dog, he loves peanut butter!

From a biotechnical standpoint AC will more effectively cause V-fib. Since DCV is effectively half wave voltage it makes sense that it would logically take twice the current to be equally effective.

Hell "Ole Sparky" the thunder chair hit with an initial spike of 2k-2500~ACV

What is the resistance of critters?

Resistance of el raton = 10,000 Ohms ?
Voltage = 120 V

V= IR
120 = 10,000 * Amps

Amps = 120 / 10,000

0.012 Amps
12 milli amps

I’m guessing critters are somewhere between 10k and 100k Ohms. Which would give 12 to 120 milliamps.

If resistance is only 1k ohms, then we’re talking 1.2 amps. I don’t know anything about how critters handle current.

 

[Master Hack]

I have not measured the resistance of the little critters, but your knowledge of Ohm's law is right on.
The 120V version stops them cold, the 330VDC version tends to make them explode! Which indicates the resistance might be somewhat lower.

Strategic placement of the trap is important for safety as is unplugging it before baiting it!

 

[bob58o]

When in doubt, get a pack of wonder pups. He’s a city dog, but he’s got ratting in his blood.

The “derp” expression is just a ruse.

Duke is only 1/2 Jack Russel and 1/2 Boxer. He is a good mouser though!

He looks like a Teddy Bear.

apparently not THAT good, you still need a trap...

 

[Master Hack]

My dog never lets anything get by, he would sleep with one eye open. He adopted me one day, cuz he liked hanging out in the shop i guess.
He was a fearless sumbitch, he thought he could take on a coyote one night and lost.

 

[Denny]

I had more mice when I had cats! They would catch them, play with them for a while and then let them go. Stupid cats. Duke terminates them immediately without prejudice!

 

[Master Hack]

The coyote on the other hand suffered a terminal dose of high velocity lead poisoning.

He had it comming!

Coyotes make great mousers too. They are very smart. Had a coyote/pit bull mix for almost 15 years. Best and smartest dog ever!
