Automatic Mosquito Killing Bucket

This project gives you total rest from mosquitoes because it work automatically. You have to just make effort for one time for make it.

Step 1:

Firstly, take your mosquito killer racket and open it because we have to make some modification to make it automatic.

Step 2:

Now, take out circuit and battery so we can work on it properly.

Step 3:

In circuit we have 2 switch. 1st is two-way switch. It is On/Off switch so we leave it for now. 2nd is push-button switch which is we are looking for.

Connect it's both legs by soldering.

Step 4:

Now, last thing is battery, so in my case I have in built rechargeable battery but in your case you may have AAA battery socket so remove from their connection.

Take DC adapter. I took 5V DC mobile charge and removed it's port and take out two wire. Red is positive and white is negative.

After removing wire from battery or socket, connect circuit's positive and negative wire with DC adapter's positive and negative wire respectively.

We are done. Now screw it back.

Step 5:

Take any bucket and put this wired mosquito killer racket on it and I put some boxes to balance it properly. You can put any light source in the bucket. Plug-in adapter and switch it on.

Very good. It works for me too. I don't open the racket. I just press the button with rubber band. It is still effective.

[endlasuresh]

so does this work for hours?

[Dr Nyein Chan]

Just make it in the dark room. A few hours is usually enough for me.

[endlasuresh]

I have heard on Youtube channels that the transistor burns out after few minutes, so does this really working for you ?
I just need this answer before making that one.

Why Would The Mosquitos Go Inside The bucket??

[endlasuresh]

because he made the killer machine.

[nikhil121212]

Mosquitoes attract to light source like UV light.

[devwatts5]

Is that A uv light in your ible?

[nikhil121212]

No I used LED light and it worked in my case. But for accuracy you can use UV light.

This is a really interesting and helpful instructible, but please consider editing the 'ible with a "what's in the bucket" section or something (maybe with the classic Brad Pitt picture http://i.imgur.com/J6l54s1.jpg ). You only explained how to mod the racket for continuous use (which is a great idea, kudos!!) and put it on the bucket, without explaining what's inside the bucket or what it's for. I had to read through all the comments section to figure out your comment about putting an LED inside. Also, other people talking about water, yeast, sugar, etc was a bit helpful but it should probably be up in the instructions.

[TUSHARKHANVILKAR]

yes that is the question? I'm also confused. please explain it

[jimmie.c.boswell]

the mosquito racket, is a hand held high voltage bug zapper. in this case they, fall dead in the bucket after getting electrocuted.

[saadland]

really nice idea!!! instate of chasing mosquitos all evening, but I just have one question: is it effective?? I mean, do they come to it to get killed??
I dont doubt the electronic, I just have some doubt about the trap aspect...

[UNSEPARABLE TECHSCIENTIFICS]

WOW!

THAT BRINGS ME BACK MEMORIES AND MAKES ME REMEMBER WHEN I MAKE TWO OF THESE INVENTIONS AND I PASSING TIME HEARD THE MOSQUITOES AND FLIES EXPLOITED EXPLODED IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE METALLIC NET WHEN THEY WERE GET ELECTRIC SHOCKS...

IT WAS VERY FUNNY AND ONCE INSTRUCTIVE... GREAT WORK MY FRIEND!!!

Sorry, but what is a Mosquito Racket (Racquet?) ?

It would be helpful if you mentioned that at some point for us who don't know of these things.

I am assuming that it somehow zaps the skeeters and they fall into the bucket dead, am I correct?

[Mikeable]

This explains what a mosquito racket is: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Mosquito+Racket

[Joeyjan19]

for sale at Harbor Freight for about 3 dollars......it's great for swating flies.

[silkier]

Thank you for all the helpful replies. I did Google it to find out more as where I am we have a horrendous mosquito problem and any weapon is welcome in my armoury.

Please remember all you folks in the USA that this is an international site and there are many places in the world where "Harbor Freight" is not even comprehensible let alone a shop.

Also know as Mosquito swatter... Mosquito Racket is a Badminton racket shaped, with three layers of aluminium net inside (see uploaded picture). The middle layer aluminium net is charged with high voltage around 2000 Volts ( Be safe... dont try to insert your finger inside, to touch this high charged net. Otherwise u will get a nice electric shock) & while the outer two layers are grounded. This high voltage is obtained by a mean of electronic circuit, which contains a small step up transformer & a capacitor connected in parallel combination. This electronic circuit is powered by two AA size 1.5 Volts battery.

Now when this Mosquito racket is moved against a flying Mosquito, the Mosquito gets in contact with live net & grounded net. Hence get burned instantaneously with a sound like this fat..fat...fat.

You can buy this Mosquito racket on www.aliexpress.com which is a chines e-commerce website. Just got to this website & type Mosquito swatter in search box. You will find lots of Mosquito racket with free international shipping worldwide. Now you don't need to live in America to buy a Mosquito racket.
