Try having lightning hit your phone lines while typing on a keyboard with dial up...

I thought it blew a hole in my elbow.

I had one once, I tested it on a few drunk friends, and yes it does work.

I'd rather use a glock to kill those pesky bugs.

That's the one we have

Regular price of $7.99 but we got ours on sale for $3.99

That one is powerful enough to kill bumble bees ( although you have to keep the button pressed until they start to smoke )

We have four of them right now. We take them to Canada to keep the bugs away. VERY effective

So, dump 20 volts or 20k volts and it still charges to, let's say 5ma?

Or, does the cap work as a storing resistor? The higher the e the higher the I because of r of the cap?

no, caps are a much more in depth device. read the wikipedia on it if you want more info

The two D cell powered one carries quite a wallop. When we packed the suburban for canada last spring, I put the bug zapper in the back. Unknown to me, the button was pushed in.

I grabbed it by the mesh to take it out and got zapped pretty good.

My hand hurt all the way up to my shoulder
