Author Topic: Steve G's New Flyswatter Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-11-2003 07:51 PM                     I know that the flys are bad out east but perhaps Steve has gone too far this time. Check out this acoustical fly swatter he has built out of Altec Drivers. 10 kw input and all thats left is a little grease spot where the fly was. Yo there Steve, what impedance is that thingy there.....? Mark P.S. Nice jacket there.....and man...those shoooooes.....

A friend of mine running a drive-in has invented a mosquito repellant similar to what Steve has done here. I am going to make a trip out there in the next month or two and will get full pics and the "how to".  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2003 10:24 AM                     Hey Brad, Wouldn't it just be easier to make a variation on Film-Guard......just adda little bit of citronella to the Film-Guard formula.......call it Mosquito-Guard or something to that extent and Drive Inns could get double duty out of a bottle of the stuff!

Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-13-2003 11:39 PM                     I wonder how many DB's that thing will produce at 10khz at 30 watts at 1 meter?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2003 12:11 AM                     Really Sam, Ask Steve Don't know what it is used for Cant tell you where I got it It fits Steve to a tee.....not the suit, the gizmo From Beaver Cleevers Dad OK?

Is that Steve, or the announcer from The Price is Right?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2003 08:40 PM                     Donno, But "The Driver Is Right" might be more like it.....
