We developed an arc discharge exposer (ADE) that kills rice weevils nesting in dried rice. The ADE features multiple identical metal plates, half of these are linked to a voltage generator and the others are grounded. The plates were arrayed in parallel and an electric field formed between them. Any insect entering the field was arced from the negatively charged plate and killed. The ADE was placed on a vessel containing pest-infested rice grains; the insects were lured out of the grains by mechanically vibrating the vessel. When rice grains move, insects tend to climb upward, thus, the weevils were effectively removed. Our electrostatic apparatus is easy to construct and could be used to control pests in stored rice.
我们开发了一种电弧放电曝露器（ADE），用于杀死藏匿在干米中的米象。该电弧放电曝露器具有多个相同的金属板，其中一半与电压发生器相连，另一半接地。这些金属板平行排列，它们之间形成电场。任何进入该电场的昆虫都会从带负电的极板上产生电弧并被杀死。电弧放电曝露器放置在装有受虫害大米的容器上；通过机械振动容器将昆虫从米粒中诱出。当米粒移动时，昆虫往往会向上攀爬，因此，米象被有效地清除了。我们的静电装置易于构建，可用于控制储存大米中的害虫。
