No Spark, this is real.
I keep envisioning an old Ford Buzz coil, with the wire coming off the secondary. those old 6 volt coils get HOT when you run 12 volts through em'.
So was this. A 12 volt battery, and some old school analog technology (yikes, moving parts!?!) and you have a dead bird. Might even incorporate a relay and some old garage door opener components I have lying around, and have the thing become wireless.
It wouldn't feature DNA sampling, however. After sugar season, maybe I'll throw it together and post a vid.
