Worst Fleshlight. Ever.

More subtle than an electric chair. Teardown and test of the Victor Electronic Mouse trap. @ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday

That little 2M resistor isn't going to be 2M with 10+kV across it - a resistor that size is only rated for 2-300V - at high voltages, it will arc across the spiral cut in the carbon film, so chances are the actual voltage was a lot lower

3:20 Thank you for using the word plethora; it means a lot to me.

Holy crap, a BOLTR after a 5 year hiatus....

[ToolDemos]

Getting back to old-school tear down vidjas. I like it.

We got a few of these about a month ago and the biggest problem is like you mentioned, after a few of the visitors have been blessed by the sparky end the pads start to rust. The bigger ones also wise up and avoid it after a few of their buddies go into the thunder dome…

I don't want to have to dispose of the dead mouse. It needs a 100kJ pulse capacitor so the mouse gets completely vaporized. That will also provide a nice audio alert to anyone with in a kilometer or so.

30 years of electronics, including 2 years of vocational highschool, and i don't remember ever having seen that voltage divider mnemonic. i learn so much from my neighbors to the south -- much love from alaska

The kill-a-volts really hertz the mouse.

[TroyOnymous]

I used one of these years ago, I'll never forget the sound it made when a freeloading mouse found his way inside while I was watching TV. A quick electrical crack sound followed by an abbreviated mouse squeal. Amazing how science can take a couple AA batteries and use them to make a mouse go see mouse Jesus.

Lmao, the jumper took ALL of the fun out of it. Reminiscing of the days helping the old man when he says "hold this wire"...

[DavidSprings]

I took an alternate approach with mine. I have some of those stun gun coils, so I use one of those, triggered by a proximity sensor (IR reflective) going through a cheap arduino-type board. When it senses Mr. Mouse, it fires the coil for 5 seconds. Then it plays a happy tune on a piezo speaker to remind me to clean out the carcass before it starts to rot. I've done others in the past with ESP8266 boards, just so I can have it send my phone a message. Good for when you put the trap in some out of the way location that's not convenient to access to check.

Bought that exact Victor about 6-7 years ago. Works great! Except for the blinky light. It's supposed to blink green every (whatever-it-is) to show it's alive, but it doesn't anymore. Pretty sure the red one still blinks after a zapification.
Found that peanut butter placed right by the dots/grill works well as an attractant.

The BOLTR that didn’t wind up on the healing bench, but instead headed straight to the killing floor.

FINALLY: a filthy-mouthed Sean Woods channel.

My dreams have come to fruition!

[GrahamDallas]

The mouse should be content that he was killed by science and not some random happening.

[timguishard]

Adding a moist towel at the door increases the efficiency of the kill. Never play with electricity with wet feet!!

What some of us have to go to school to learn, this man takes up as a hobby. One of the best channels for humor and education on YouTube

Neat. We use 480v and a nice thermoplastic covering as bait. Works every time. ...although, fuses are getting pricey!!!

[CaptainRon]

Had two stubborn mice this spring that wouldn't leave. Tried two of those Victor electronic traps, no bueno. Got the old style Victor traps with the metal bait plate. Peanut butter, snapped them both within a couple hours. They would not go in the electronic trap.

I also have one of those slip and slide bucket traps. Marine antifreeze and water in the bucket. Usually empty 10 or so mice out of the bucket every spring
