Diseño y construcción de un prototipo no letal, para ahuyentar murciélagos mediante la variación de frecuencia a implementar en la misión salesiana de Wasakentsa

Abstract

The present development of a technological prototype entitled "Design and construction of a non-lethal prototype to drive away bats by means of frequency variation", is designed for the Wasakentsa Salesian mission. It is a device made up of piezoelectric transducers, capable of emitting ultrasound frequencies, the sound frequency can be varied by means of a programmable electronic system that is capable of generating waves of 1 MHz or more. Which will scare away a kind of chiropterans that inhabit the different civil areas of study and rest of the Salesian work. To make this prototype, scientific articles were investigated about; the risks of living with bats and the diseases they cause, the type of chiropteran species that inhabits said community and, in turn, the form or methods of echolocation, jointly based on devices designed for the dispersal of various animals, one of these being the fruit bats. The first prototype was developed based on an acoustic levitator, since this type of electronic circuit emits high frequencies for the levitation of particles in the middle of transducers, this principle was implemented and redesigned for frequency variation such as; the amplitude and period of the wave. The design of the electronic system was carried out in software such as; Proteus in order to obtain simulated frequency results and compare them based on the real results obtained from an oscilloscope. With all the documents studied, improved, analyzed and redesigned, it was possible to obtain variable frequencies to implement the prototype, which will help repel the bat colony.
