Apparatus for weeding a ground by a high-pressure working fluid
An apparatus for the spraying of an area of interest (S) of a high-pressure working fluid (V) wherein the apparatus is susceptible to move relatively to the ground (S) along a direction of reciprocal advancement (d) and it comprises at least one tank (2) for the working fluid (V), at least one outlet nozzle (41) and a fluid connecting line (4) extending from the tank (2) towards the outlet nozzle (41). The apparatus further comprises supply means (5) of the working fluid (V) that include a high-pressure pump and at least one spraying device (10) placed along the fluid connecting line (4) the former (5) upstream with respect to the latter (10). Furthermore, the spraying device (10) comprises a support structure (11) that comprises a first plate (12), motor means (35) acting upon the first plate (12) to promote the eccentric rotation thereof around a first axis (Z) and at least one manifold (42) placed on the first plate (12) to move integrally therewith. In particular, the latter (42) comprises at least one outlet nozzle (41) oriented so as to spray a jet of working fluid (V) towards the ground (S). The first plate (12) is mounted movable with said support structure (11) so that upon the movement along the direction of reciprocal advancement (d) of the apparatus (1) and of the ground (S), the jet flowing from the outlet nozzle (41) hits the latter with helical path.

Weed Seed Destruction
Weed seeds are destroyed in the chaff from a combine harvester by repeated high speed impacts caused by a rotor mounted in one of a pair of side by side housings which accelerate the discarded seeds into contact with stator bars at angularly spaced positions around the axis of the rotor. The stator bars are formed from bent sheet metal which are L-shaped or U-shaped in cross-section to define a first leg lying in a cylindrical surface surrounding the axis of the rotor and a second leg extending outwardly from the cylindrical surface connected to the first leg at an apex at a leading end of the first leg relative to the direction of rotation of the rotor. When U-shaped, the bars are symmetrical and can be reversed when the second leg is worn for extended life.

SUB-SURFACE INJECTION SYSTEM FOR SUBSURFACE BLENDING AND HORIZON CREATION
Disclosed is a sub-surface injection system for subsurface blending and horizon creation. The sub-surface injection system includes wings (105B, 519A, 511C, 513C, 519C), partially actuated mixing wings (205B, 309A, 411C, 419C, 511A, 519A, 511B, 513B, and 521B), an electromagnet, AI robot (1107C), lens (1205), computer (1111C), a PLC (1105C), encoder (1305B), limit switch (1409B), and a GPS (1113C). The wings (105B) are actuated by the electromagnet. The wings (105B) include blades (911B, 913B, and 915B), the partially actuated mixing wings (513B) during descension and/or ascension, and industrial diamonds or blades to cut through sub-surface impediments. The wings (105B, 519A, 511C, 513C, 519C) are controlled by the AI robot (1107C), the lens (1205), the computer (1111C), the PLC (1105C), the encoder (1305B), the limit switch (1409B), and the sensor. The wings (511C, 513C, 519C) exist within a below portion or an above portion of a hollow shaft drilling array and are individually controlled by one or more of the AI robot (1107C), lens (1205), computer (1111C), PLC (1105C), encoder (1305B), limit switch (1409B), and the sensor. The wings (511C) include a secondary deployable blade to enhance cutting or reaming through an impediment comprising clays and rock. The wings (519A) integrate sensors based on Lidar technology. The sensors receive commands and signals from the AI robot (1107C), the lens (1205), computer (1111C), PLC (1105C), encoder (1305B), and the limit switch (1409B). The wings (105B, 519A, 511C, 513C, 519C) are deployed based on the data about soil type and amendment prescription received from the GPS (1113C).
