Apparatus and associated methods relate to a pest repelling magnetic field generating device (PRD) having a temperature sensor to detect the temperature of a solenoid coil during operation. The detected temperature to be used to ensure that the PRD operates within an ideal temperature range. Additionally, a fan is oriented within a housing of the PRD to force the flow of air from inside a housing of the PRD to outside a housing the PRD. In an illustrative example, the PRD may shut off if the temperature of the solenoid coil moves outside the ideal temperature range. By operating the PRD within an ideal temperature range, the service life of the PRD may be extended. Further, the fan may mitigate dust collection within the housing of the pest repelling magnetic field generating device.

Some embodiments may be of spearfishing apparatus fitted with at least one magnet configured to repel sharks away from the spearfishing apparatus. The spearfishing apparatus may be one or more of: a spearfishing shaft, a spearfishing tip, and/or a spearfishing gun. Some embodiments may be of personal floatation devices (PFDs) fitted with at least one magnet configured to repel sharks away from the PFDs. Some PFDs may be fitted with a tethered drop-down magnetic apparatus to protect lower extremities of a wearer of such PFDs. Such magnets may be electromagnets powered by batteries in some embodiments.

A rod for repelling sharks is disclosed. Magnets are connected to the rod along its length. If necessary, the rod may be extended. Additionally, one or more flotation devices may be connected to the rod to manipulate or adjust the buoyancy of the system, depending on the user's objective(s). The rod is connected to a fishing line once a fish is hooked and is in close proximity to the boat or other structure from which the fisherman is fishing. The weight of the rod and magnets cause the rod to slide down to the end of the fishing line, where the rod will come in contact with the hooked mouth of the fish. As the fish struggles during the fight, the rod creates a protective magnetic field around the fish to deter sharks from engaging the fish.

A motorized, floating device is associated with another aquatic device that carries a passenger or passengers (associated aquatic device). The invention comprises components such as one or more magnetic field emitters that deter aquatic animals from approaching the associated aquatic device without interfering with the operation of the associated aquatic device. The associated aquatic device may be a surfboard, a raft, a personal watercraft, or other similar small craft that floats in water. The invention may be used with larger boats and other watercraft. The motorized aquatic animal deterrent is tethered to the associated aquatic device to follow movement of the associated aquatic device but is spaced apart from the associated aquatic device.

An electrified feeder assembly includes a hopper, an actuator assembly, a motor, and at least one power supply. The hopper is configured to hold a quantity of feed wherein the feed is gravity fed downward through a feed tube. The actuator assembly is coupled to the hopper and is configured to selectively disperse feed when powered by the power supply. The motor receives power from the power supply and selectively spins the actuator assembly at a selected speed to open and close the feed tube. The speed of rotation induces a centrifugal force which opens the feed tube by translating the position of a portion of the actuator assembly. The feed exits the hopper through the feed tube and is dispersed through contact with the rotating actuator assembly. The actuator assembly is partially and temporarily electrified when manipulated in a closed position.
