Spustili jsme kampaň na financování projektu iTRUBEC na Hithit.com. Budeme rádi, pokud informaci o kampani budete šířit mezi své známé, ale ještě raději, pokud trochu přispějete. Podle výše příspěvku na vás čekají i zajímavé odměny. https://www.hithit.com/cs/project/4893/itrubec-leceni-vcelstev-teplem-iot Kampaní na Hithitu chceme financovat další výzkum a vývoj produktu iTRUBEC a dalších IoT zařízení pro včelaře, jako je například monitoring úlů. Chceme také dotáhnout design našich výrobků tak, aby byl praktický a plně funkční. Budeme rádi, pokud se s námi podělíte o svůj pohled na věc, pochybnosti i přání/požadavky na funkčnost. Předem děkujeme za podporu. |
Varroa Destructor is a parazite infecting bees in different stages of their live. It could ruin the beehive completely in a couple of months. Common treatment is based on the usage of different chemicals. It is also possible to kill it using a temperature between 44°C and 49°C which is lethal for Varroa Destructor but still safe for bees.
The higher temperature can be reached either the natural way using so called solar hives (but they we rely on bees to regulate the potentially high temperature) or the hive can be heated artificially. There are commercial solutions available nevertheless they are quite expensive and also dependant on the power network availability.
The purpose of iTrubec project is to propose, build and test a simple (and therefore cheap) and mobile hive heating solution controlled IoT (Arduino and a couple of different sensors) which would run for a necessary time (4 hours at least) using the common car battery.
There is a number of challenges in front of us:
We took this as a challenge and started to think, brainstorm, prototype and test.
Why do we do all this? Because it could be a help to the bees and beekeepers. Because it is related with technology we love. And last but not least because it is fun!
