I like to think I've had some pretty good ideas in my time like forget
drive-through coffee shops I invented drive-by coffee and whatever spork I
beat the heck out of that when I created the cutting spoon but the one idea I had
that was probably most successful was my water spray cat deterrent which quite
successfully rid my yard of your in spraying cats, well at least I thought
that was the case for a while so there I was working away on a new non cat
related project for a YouTube video and I noticed an all-too-familiar sight and
smell yep cat miss yeah like before it's in all
the usual places around the outside of my house even in my house so while my
really super awesome cat getaway thing worked well for months there it's not
really practical to leave on all the time but even once it was packed up the
cats stayed away probably because it was burnt into their memory like if you've
ever walked in on your parents "mom where's my DVD?
There are alot of good ideas suggested by you all but no I'm not going to replace the house with a
gum for obvious reasons ah and for the minority of people out there who said
that's (your in from a dog did you not understand my surveillance footage it's
not a dog because one there is a big fence and two this is a cat even if
they're upside down I can still tell because I have this ability to see so
there are still a couple of cats returning to my yard so I figured I need
to revisit this whole cat deterring concept what I need to do is increase
the fear element of the device so it's so deeply into their memory they never
return in researching pest control measures I discover that some farmers
and even airports have been known to use pyrotechnics to scare birds and other
pests away no I'm not going to use osmosis although that is a good idea
but you can't easily buy anything fun like that in Western Australia here
you're not even allowed to use a toaster unless you're a licensed electrician
while looking through a draw I found something which prompted an idea in
keeping things humane and hopefully more effective here's what you need to do
start off by purchasing yourself some party poppers you'll also need an old
pedestal fan if you have a neighbor that has a ball for their garden circulation
you need to borrow their systems 240 volt relay find a power board grab a
small plastic box at the relay will fit in I found one in my houses meter box
which was doing something electricity related now cut the cord on your power
board don't cut a live one use your tongue or a fork to check if it's safe
do not actually attempt this wire the power board to run through your relay
you can find the detailed wiring instructions on my hand now mount the
relay in the box now you basically have a power board that can be switched on
with say a battery or a battery and motion sensor ah you get it take the fan
dismantle and remove the front and back finger guards then load that sucker up
with as many party poppers as you can fit die so chain all their strings
together I've then placed a steel disk in the middle for some extra rotating
mass you can then tie your string onto the drive shaft of the fan
once your power board is connected to your alarm motion sensor you have
yourself a motion-activated explosive wheel of terror so what do you think
pretty scary huh no it's lame the string keeps breaking
so we need to make an extreme party popper of some kind here's how we do it
first grab yourself a tire valve from a bike or stroller and a one-inch 3d thing
like this from your kitchen drawer in a mystical muffler forest I managed to
find some really big tube and steel plate take some measurements then type
five three one eight zero zero eight into a calculator turn it upside down
and it should say booobies. next we cut ourselves some circles from
the steel plate then cut another 25 millimeter hole weld the end plate
circles on Bracey 25 millimeter three thing and your stroller valve on next
make return visit t neighbor's ball this time borrow their articulation solenoid
in my shed I found my old colonic irrigation kit which had a lot of useful
parts including a pressure gauge drill and tap a hole in the top and screw it
in yeah you would tap that grind it all clean and paint lastly get yourself some
PVC pipe bla bla bla this video is too long cut and glue and make this thing
the next day when everything is nice and dry you can put it all together
screw the solenoid back on and screw the tank assembly onto PVC it's quite an
ominous looking tank at this stage so I found a way to friendly it up a little
"hello I'm Thomas" now we need to load our extreme party
popper if you've ever looked inside one they have a bunch of rolled-up streamers
I've loaded the cartridges with screwed up newspaper to serve as warning then
placed in the streamers while doing this I thought why not add some flour and a
pile of newspaper confetti so how is this all going to work using an air
compressor we load Thomas with a big chunk of air through the stroller tube
bail he'll then serve as an accumulator tank waiting for the sprinkler valve to
be activated once activated the air will release through the valve with some
fairly osmosis force out through our PVC party popper cartridges releasing
fun and for to all that in there now you already
know my previous videos high spray setup and how it was triggered except this
time I have two cameras firing lots of frames plus a night-vision camera the
low voltage activated switch from our earlier failed party popper fan we can
use to activate some more potent lighting I've also added a little more
infrared lighting to make sure we capture sneaky cats we're ready to go
but like always you'll want to test your setup so hide the cameras and cover the
extreme party popper with a sheet who's my favorite sister hey going cool you
still coming out for a swim it seems to work pretty well the water spray gives
that good initial scare in the air it's floating around the target accompanied
with an earth-shattering foam appears to really bring home the fear element I
especially like the point where she gets a little airborne - so this rig should
leave your target second-guessing the prospect of ever returning to your house
or even continuing any appointment sibling relationship with you in the
future now unroll your test subject from there
fear induced fetal position clear and reset the rig ready for the night and a
visit from your favorite urine packing kitties it's night number one let's
check out surveillance footage and see how he went here he is my old friend
happy toilet rug ah he looks over and recognises that something is a little
different what's all this in and then he retreats now cats aunt
that's not all he's thinking is dude there dude Gago ways and runs right back
in we right in the face please that's always a good way to clean under those
eyelids and boom the drone shakes the windows of the house and that cat is out
of there despite the cool calm and collected expression on his face the
water blasters seem swell to three times his original size and no he's not
sitting he's levitating at this point he thinks he's all clear but a few
hundredths to the second later kaboom with claws firmly embedded into the
concrete he gets the hell out of there leaving us with the old cat Brown I
actually hang on a minute in its next frame cuz he does he got cat would see
these cat repellent isn't cruel it apparently turns them on we were all
reset for night number two which cat is this looks like fatty fatty 2x4 from my
last video but he has black paws looks like we have a new player this is call
him fatty fatty black paw sprayed right in the face and he leaves
behind a massive trail of destruction and looking at the photos before the
first frame even fires he's launched off the ground Thomas the Tank detonates and
fatty fatty black paw has a moment of zero-g that's right fatty fatty black
paw I Can Has burn then he returns to earth and kicks the backboard and
extreme party popper with all of his kitty power and Happy New Year a
mushroom cloud of fun descends on the backyard while hopefully his cat brain
is registering that this is not a place to return to as an added bonus while
editing this video I realized that having the two cameras allowed me to
create a very rough 3d anaglyph image check it out with 3d red cyan glasses if
you want a headache if you're interested in researching how to create these
images for yourself don't accidentally miss type anaglyph like I did as it
turns out that Anil GF viewed a very different search result once again I
reset the extreme party popper night number three ah looks like it's
the early hours in the morning just come to visit oh this is kind of a bit
awkward yep the dub from my last video has
returned now some of you asked why I didn't name the dove like I know the
cats I don't know what am i the animal name you guy okay okay how about Dumbo
one Lovington and boom DeVoe is vaporized into a fine
avian mist not really with some quick fighter pilots style evasive maneuvers
he was safely out of there man-birds really know how to fly so that was it
the cats didn't come back the extreme party popper seems to be a pretty good
solution apart from the fact that it requires about four hours to reset each
time and when it suddenly detonates in the middle of the night everyone in the
house and for a block radius would empty their bowls in bed which generally
proves to be a bit of cleanup and just cat Wii but otherwise it's the ultimate
solution to cat pee or you could just get a dog are they we on everything too
but do remember it's not the cat's fault don't be cool to them being to take it
out on someone take it out on the cat's owner no naughty no no no no no no a
huge thank you to you guys for being so patient with the release of this video
