Novel ultrasonic bat deterrents based on aerodynamic whistles [PDF]
Novel ultrasonic bat deterrents based on aerodynamic whistles are investigated experimentally and numerically. The baseline deterrent, a single-whistle design inspired by Beeken [1], is examined first. It consists of two resonating cavities/chambers. The whistle is ``powered'' by a regulated high-pressure air supply and the performance of the whistle ...
