FLOATING ULTRASOUND

Protection of your house and garden from small rodents, insects relevant today. Various industrial devices “repellents” are on sale, but this same device is able to produce hams with a medium level of training. Unlike many schemes of such devices listed below are quite original. Known schemes are based on the ultrasonic frequency generator (uzch), “loaded” to the piezoelectric capsule. The frequency of these generators can be tailored (adjusted by changing the values of the RC circuit), but it is invariant under the operation of the device, and therefore of the generator. That is, any rodents, insects, birds or animals would not be “programmed” generator uzch (all of these entities are afraid of the discomfort of pulses of a certain frequency), over time, the device ceases to be effective due to rodents or insects exposure.
