Abstract
A method and apparatus for dispersing a fluid in an area is disclosed in which the dispersion of the fluid is proportionate to the wind velocity of the area, the fluid is placed in a plurality of aerosol containers, and the fluid is dispersed through a plurality of nozzles of a plurality of pre-determined sizes.
Claims20
A method for dispersing a fluid in an area comprising:
- a. determining the wind velocity of said area;
- b. signalling through switching means, dependent on said wind velocity, to a plurality of solenoids;
- c. distributing said fluid in said area through a plurality of valves controlled by said plurality of solenoids;
- d. dispersing said fluid through a plurality of nozzles of a plurality of predetermined sizes;
- which are operatively associated with said plurality of valves;
- e. arranging said plurality of nozzles into a plurality of nozzle assemblies, each of said plurality of nozzles being of a selected size;
- and
- f. switching said plurality of valves in order to open said plurality of valves selectively for introducing a selected quantity of fluid into said area, which is proportional with said wind velocity.

An apparatus for dispersing a fluid in an area comprising:
- a. wind velocity responsive means responsive to the wind in said area;
- b. switching means responsive to said wind velocity responsive means;
- c. a plurality of solenoids operative responsive to said switching means;
- d. a plurality of valves each responsive to one of said plurality of solenoids through which said fluid may be distributed;
- e. a plurality of nozzles of a plurality of pre-determined sized through which said fluid may be dispersed into said area;
- and
- f. a plurality of nozzle assemblies comprising said plurality of nozzles, being arranged whereby each of said plurality of nozzles in each of said plurality of nozzle assemblies is of a selected size, and wherein said plurality of valves includes a normally closed valve operatively associated with each of said nozzle assemblies, and wherein said switching means is arranged to open said plurality of valves selectively for introducing a selected quantity of said fluid into said area which is proportional with said wind velocity.
