Abstract
A system for airborne dispersal of chemicals comprising a compressed gas gun having a gun body, a grip, a barrel, a trigger, a compressed gas source and a cylindrical collar positioned at an exit end of said barrel, having a bore therethrough and equipped with a depth-adjustable knife-edge disposed at an exit end of the collar, protruding into the bore, so as to slit a capsule containing a chemical solution or suspension upon exit from the collar and disperse the chemical solution or suspension.
Claims20
A cylindrical collar having first and second ends, an inner diameter defining a bore, an outer diameter and a thickness defined between the inner and outer diameters, comprising a depth-adjustable knife-edge protruding into and disposed axially to the bore.
A system for airborne dispersal of chemicals comprising:
- a compressed gas gun having a gun body, a grip, a barrel, a trigger, a compressed gas source and a cylindrical collar positioned at an exit end of said barrel, having a bore therethrough and equipped with a depth-adjustable knife-edge disposed at an exit end of the collar, protruding into the bore;
- and
- a capsule containing a chemical solution or suspension.
A process for dispersing a chemical solution or suspension onto a targeted area comprising:
- shooting a capsule containing said chemical solution or suspension out of a compressed gas gun having a barrel, a bore within said barrel, and a knife-edge disposed at the distal end of the barrel and protruding into the bore;
- and
- slitting open the capsule with said knife-edge as it exits the gun.
