Abstract

A simple, compact, lightweight, battery-operated weed control device, rated 3 kV, 200 W, has been built which is inherently safe because of low operating voltage and which incorporates added safety features such as grounding and angle sensors. The effectiveness of the device has been verified on weeds like Poa annua L., which has always been a problem on golf courses. The electrical resistance of weeds has been found to drop drastically as a result of electrical discharge through them. Ground potential distribution has been studied as a safety check. All the results obtained indicate that this device is very safe for the operator. The device is about to go into commercial production.<>
一种使用高频交流电压的便携式除草装置
一种简单、紧凑、轻便、电池供电的杂草控制装置,额定电压为3kv, 200w,由于工作电压低,具有固有的安全性,并且集成了接地和角度传感器等附加安全功能。这种装置的有效性已经被证实可以去除高尔夫球场上一直困扰的杂草,比如黄花草。人们发现,当电流通过野草时,野草的电阻会急剧下降。研究了地电位分布作为安全检查。实验结果表明,该装置对操作人员非常安全。这种设备即将投入商业生产。
