Homebrewed static grass applicator

Hi René, great post! I'm just getting into electronics myself, and am planning on making one too, Interesting design!

Thanks. I couldn't find the right stuff for the handle, so I improvised...

This is the stressful part for me! Haven't got a single clue of what I'm really doing... 😉

That's how it begins... 😎
I just got my first breadboard starter set, and have no idea what all those components are for yet, except for the leds and resistors. I've also got fiber optic cable on the way.
Gotta start somewhere!

Soooo... Finished it! There's just one tiny little snag...
It doesn't work at all! 😉
I'll double check all of the wiring and see what I can do.
Just not today!

I made one out of a bug zapper, and the only thing that got zapped was me. It did not generate any static electricity at all, but shocked me several times really good 😛 Oh well, that's how we learn!

Indeed! 😉
