How to catch earthworms using electricity

I experimented with catching earthworms by charging an electrolytic capacitor with a DC motor.
The earthworms can be used as chicken feed or fishing bait.
This experiment is very dangerous and should not be followed carelessly.

    Anyone who will try to do the same - such capacitance at such voltage is very dangerous and could kill you.

    Backyard scientists defibrillator video did the same thing! It’s very strange why they do this but cool. In his video he also said it was a product (the worm catcher) but it was deemed too dangerous.

    My cousins would use a mixture of salt and water or bleach and water to get them to surface. The strangest thing I have seen is using vibration. There is an old hillbilly I follow who makes "worm sticks". It's a stick carved with ridges. You put one end in the ground and rub it with another stick and the worms surface. I was skeptical but I told my brother about it and he told me he had noticed when he put an idling chainsaw on the ground worms would surface.

    it that simple dc motor? Did you modified adding some of diodes to it.

    We in Lithuania used 220v straight to Erth and when picking warms up from ground especially when still in his hole half way we get zappttt into fingers by electric current 😅
