Use a fiberglass handled hammer, touch the head to the steel post and slowly move the other side of the head to the wire. The bigger the gap the spark jumps the more it will kick butt My buddies will do 1/2 inch easyJSinMO wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 8:25 pmI’m very curious to see what this will do.

Re: Gardens 2023
I tested when first installed with one of these and a jumper wire . It was not as bright as an ignition coil puts out but bright enough to see out in the sun light .

Re: Gardens 2023
Gee thanks Tim!
I’m sure it’s considered cruel and unusual punishment today but, I got told to go check the fence plenty of times at home when I was growing up. This has always been my tester!

Ha ha, been there done that. We would do all the stupid stuff when we were young, grab someone then grab the fence, con a unknowing sucker into grabbing it. The big one with the " weed burner" would really get your attention.

Re: Gardens 2023
I went out this evening and got the fence set up and turned on. I guess it’s time to test it. I felt it was time to pass the torch or in this case the
The fence works, he jumped! I touched it too so I could give a fair report. I have to say I wasn’t very impressed. Yes it gives a shock but it’s no where near what one that you plug into power puts out. I don’t think it will stop a sly raccoon. I guess we’ll see. This is a Galloway solar fencer just in case someone wants to try it.
Now here’s a question for the electrically knowledgeable folks here.
My brought 2 of these home, she got them on sale of course. Now I know why! The question is since I have 2 can I hook them together to up the voltage?

Re: Gardens 2023
There's a chance that one might fry the other one. Do you have any specs for it?
But keep in mind that the raccoon isn't wearing shoes, it'll feel a bigger zap.
