Heybub-- is 10K:1 the actual transformer on one of these-- or is that
a guesstimate?

I have not idea what the actual voltage in a fly swatter might be. I picked
10,000:1 as an example of stepping up a DC voltage.


Thanks-- I'll tear one apart one of these days. In the meantime, my
arm says 30,000V is about right.g

[I just wiki-pedia'd it. *They* say 1K-2.5K --- but I'm stickin'
with 30K.g]
