The use of an electric fence (electroshepherd) allows you to graze more animals and protect gardens and vegetable gardens from intrusion.

The proposed high-voltage pulse generator, the circuit diagram of which is shown in the figure, provides pulses with a duration of 0,01 ... 0,015 s (60-70 pulses per minute) and a voltage relative to the ground of 6-7 kV.

Since the output resistance of the generator is high, when the animal touches the fence, the output voltage decreases from 6-7 kV to 10-15 V, which is safe for the animal. The pulse generator includes a burglar alarm. It is triggered in the absence of high voltage pulses on the fence, a wire break or a fall of racks and wire to the ground, vegetation on the wire of the fence. An alarm is especially needed at night to protect livestock.

The high-voltage pulse generator is a converter of low-voltage direct voltage into a pulsed high-voltage one. It contains two series-connected voltage converters. The first of them is an asymmetric multivibrator based on transistors VT1 and VT2. The load of the transistor VT2 is the primary winding of the step-up transformer T1. From its secondary winding, a sequence of short pulses with an amplitude of 150 V is supplied to the second converter. It is assembled according to the scheme of a thyristor pulse generator.

The output pulses from the secondary winding T1, after being rectified by the diodes VD2 and VD3, charge the storage capacitor C3. When the voltage on C3 reaches the turn-on voltage of the dynistor VS2, VS1 opens, and the capacitor C3 is discharged to the primary winding of the transformer T2. A discharge current pulse through the primary winding causes a high-voltage pulse to appear on the secondary winding. After the end of the discharge of the capacitor C3, the thyristor VS1 closes, and the capacitor is charged again. The pulse repetition frequency of the multivibrator is tens of kilohertz, and the frequency of the pulses applied to the fence wire is from one to several hertz. The frequency of the multivibrator pulses fed to the thyristor pulse generator is regulated. This allows you to get powerful high-voltage pulses from a low-power generator powered by a 12 V source.

Details. Transformer T1 is made on an armored ferrite core with a diameter of 30 mm, the I winding contains 35 turns of PEV-2 0,45 mm, the II winding - 800 turns of PEL 0,16 mm. The cups of the magnetic circuit with a gap of 0,2 mm are tightened with a screw and a nut. Industrial chokes can be used as a transformer, for example, D30-0,16 and D3 ... D16, having two windings. Transformer T2 - line from TVS110GTS15 TV or ignition coil from cars. Relay K1 type RES-9 passport RS4.524.203, loudspeaker VA1-5 type GDSh-10-8 or any other with a voice coil resistance of 8 ohms.

A properly assembled high-voltage pulse generator practically does not need adjustment. The operation of the generator is checked carefully by bringing the hand to the wire connected to terminal X1. At a distance of 10 mm, a spark should flash with a dry crackle of the discharge, and a slight tingling sensation will be felt. Animals are energized at a distance of 3-4 mm from the wire. The electric fence requires a good earth connection, which is connected to terminal X3.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Performed quantum teleportation 02.01.2020

Scientists from the UK and Denmark have conducted the world's first quantum teleportation - they were able to transfer the quantum state of a particle between two chips. This should be the cornerstone for quantum communication technologies. The accuracy of data transmission was 91%.

Scientists from the University of Bristol in the UK and the Technical University of Denmark have created chip-like devices that can generate and manipulate individual light particles in programmable nanoscale circuits, thus implementing the laws of quantum physics.

These chips are able to encode quantum information in the light that is generated inside the circuit and can process this information with high efficiency and extremely low noise. The invention should help humanity move on to creating more complex circuits for quantum computing and communications than those that exist today.

Initially, the photons in each chip were in the same quantum state. Each chip was then programmed to perform a series of entanglement manipulations. In the main experiment, two microcircuits were involved. Between them, it was possible to transfer the individual quantum state of the particle after quantum measurements. During the measurements, a phenomenon of quantum physics was used, in which the entangled bond is simultaneously destroyed, and the state of the particle is transferred to another particle already in the receiver chip.

As a result, an even more complex scheme was created, containing four single-photon sources. All sources have been tested and found to be virtually identical, i.e., emitting almost the same photons, which is extremely important for entanglement exchange.

The researchers were able to demonstrate some other important functionality of their chips. These include entanglement permutation (required for quantum repeaters and quantum networks) and four-photon gigahertz states (required in quantum computing and the quantum internet).
