The Applicator

This image shows the fully assembled kit with an added strainer type grass hopper.

One can power it in one of two ways.

The 9vDC battery option is shown on the left.  The 12v DC option is connected to the input power receptacle which is located at the bottom center.

 

 

The Parts

This image shows the parts, less the container,  used to assemble the kit.

They are the 15kv DC generator, male and female banana connectors, two solderless connectors, a 2.5 mm barrel jack, a battery clip, a special high voltage insulated switch, an alligator clip. a female 2.5 mm power receptacle,  and a Wago connector.

You supply the wires to connect to the grounding alligator clip, and the grass dispenser of your choice.

You can get the applicator kit here.

 

 

The container is high impact polystyrene box that measures 13 cm square by 4 cm deep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what you have with the container closed.

You can power the applicator with a 9v DC battery attached to the battery clip. You can see it at the top right in the image.

You can also use a standard 12v DC power source such as a wall-wart. The white tip of a wall-wart at the center bottom of the image.

Run wires from the male banana clip connectors to the alligator clip and dispenser.

 

This is what it looks like when wired up in my favorite configuration.

The small strainer is but one of many types of grass hoppers that you can use with this static grass applicator.

The power source I use depends on my surroundings.  If the wire from the wall-wart would be a bother, I shift to the battery.

The generator is so powerful that I hardly see any degradation in performance when using the battery.

As a matter of fact, many of our customers have told us that they use the the battery all the time.
