I watched the video and that was cool and then I noticed youtube had a bunch of other videos that looked interesting, including some making the same device with a bugzapper:
HF has these zappers for $3.99 and the strainer can't be more than about that a couple of buck. At 12:40 he compares it against a $270 device sold by Walthers...
I'll stick to commercial RTS greenkeeper machines for the hobby. Lack of power in fly swatters is anoying..for professional use I have 70 and 80kV machines..
I'm a bit scared to buy a grass machine with over 15Kv...
That's because of swedish law, which states that electrostatic hand tools over 20Kv is considered a handgun.... And will give you at least $3000 in fines or prison.
We have a prejudice, where a man rebuilt a fly zapper to give 35Kv to kill wasps.
Somehow the police found out about it, and he got 1 year on probation and $4000 in fines....
