Diseñoy construcción de un prototipo no letal para ahuyentar murciélagos mediante luces estroboscópicas a implementar en la misión salesiana de Wasakentsa

Abstract

The development of this project came from the idea of Deacon Vladimir Garcia, who one day told us that in the community of Wasakentsa they began to have problems with bats, since they became a plague over the years. These animals used to hide in the roofs of the houses. At first, they helped to control the insects in the area, but little by little their number increased, causing damage to the infrastructure of the community, the zinc roofs began to corrode and the wooden floors and walls rotted due to the physiological waste of the bats. Other fears of the Deacon were that some of the children in the community would be infected with rabies or some other virus or disease that can be transmitted by these animals. The purpose of this prototype is to be able to safely and efficiently scare away most of the bats that are hiding in homes, without causing harm to any species. This device will make use of strobe lights, by means of a variable pulse train, which will be controlled by the user. It will have an internal battery for its wireless function and can be recharged during the hours that the community has energy from the generator. A structure will also be built to support high temperatures, which will protect the internal circuit from humid and hot weather, as well as from insects and different animals.
