Definitions

  • This invention is directed toward the eradication of harmful flying insects. Flying insects are difficult to eliminate once they are airborne. Flies are particularly agile; it is almost impossible to take them down by swinging a towel. The present invention is concentrated on killing mosquitoes in large quantities since mosquitoes are more harmful to humans than other insects due to the many mosquito-transmitted diseases. [0005] There are devices available on the market to deal with mosquitoes such as sticky glue coated tape, bed nets, traps, systems using greenhouse gas C02 to lure mosquitoes into a death trap and also the controversial DDT chemical spray. The latest innovation still undergoing research is the use of lasers to zap mosquitoes. However, all of these tools are passive devices or systems which are not effective in controlling the mosquito population.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un drone autonome intégré ayant des générateurs d'ondes acoustiques à haute énergie et à large bande passante envoyés pour chasser et éradiquer des nuisibles agricoles dans une zone d'inspection. Le drone effectuant un vol stationnaire à proximité d'une plante bombarde ses feuilles et ses fruits avec des ondes acoustiques d'énergie élevée par le biais d'une fréquence et d'une tonalité déterminées par un synthétiseur embarqué au moyen d'une puissance acoustique amplifiée pour entraîner les générateurs d'ondes acoustiques montés latéralement et par le bas. Des animaux nuisibles agricoles, tels que des chenilles, des coléoptères et analogues, sont bombardés avec des ondes acoustiques puissantes agissant sur leur corps pour le faire vibrer vigoureusement et le faire résonner avec une fréquence du synthétiseur pour déloger ou tuer les animaux nuisibles. D'autres insectes, tels que des mites, sont amenés de force en suspension dans l'air par un fort courant descendant de l'hélice et sont électrocutés par des écrans haute tension intégrés. À l'intérieur d'une chambre d'hôtel, le drone effectue un vol stationnaire à proximité d'une surface d'un matelas de literie, bombardant les surfaces avec des ondes acoustiques puissantes réglées à des fréquences qui provoquent la résonance et la mort des punaises de lit.
