Make a static grass applicator with an electric fly swatter: Part 3

My Web Site: http://modelrr.oakviewresources.com/
This is part 3 of a 3 part series on how to make a "Poor Man's" static grass applicator out of an electronic fly swatter. I had read a forum post over at trains.com that this could be done and I had to try it myself. If you play your cards right, you'll spend less than 10 dollars to make this thing. Happy grassing on your model railroad!

why does the groundpin must be in the middle of your grass?

Hmmm...Well that's the way I've seen it done. I suppose the static charge isn't as effective when you get to far from the pin.

I liked the look of static grass, and when I saw your static grass applicator I started collecting the parts. Great video instruction and it works. I spent more time looking for static grass than putting it together. Thanks.

Really neat! I didn't even know what one of these things were until I came across your video, but that's really innovative! Nice work.

Use some real crimps next time in stead of some pliers. Your contacts will last. It cracks me up when people don't use the right tool for the job.
