I'm getting pretty pissed off with some nocturnal animal leaving dirty paw marks, fur, and scratches in my paintwork, and am now looking into solutions...preferably involving high voltage
Question: how many volts would be needed to get a nice charge to jump through the paintwork and give said creature a decent jolt?*
Have tried 230 mains - not enough volts
Have tried an electric fly swat, not enough amps.
I have a plentiful supply of small power transformers lying around, which possibly could be coaxed into working in a step-up config...?
Other ideas?
*"the more the better" is not an acceptable answer - am not looking to kill anything/anyone - not just yet, anyhow
