Some "weed chopper" types will lock on for a longer period of time to "burn off" encroaching weeds - but they have been outlawed in a lot of places for 2 safety resons - 1- not releasing to let a vicim get away, and 2- staring grass fires.
Here in Canada I believe the only approved fence chargers are pulsed - I'll see if I can confirm one way or the other.
Just checked - there are NO CSA approved AC output, or continuous shock systems - so no AC shock or continuous shock fence chargers are legal for sale or use in Canada.
In the USA check with your property/liability insurance company. Most (or at least many) will NOT insure you with an AC output fence charger.
Most DC output, or intermittent shock fence chargers pulse about 0.3 ms every second or there-abouts at a voltage of 3-10,000 volts Most general farm use chargers are under 5000 volts, many under 3000 - with the high voltage units reserved for wild-life control, particularly for long haired animals and frozen ground.
This one is the pet version and only has about 800v. It is fine for scaring the dog tho. We put it away years ago and now Mr Ed is a "follow you around" dog.
I've found Clare gets his feelings hurt easily when someone contradicts him.
No feelings hurt. Just have not seen a constant output fence charger in YEARS. I know we had a Bowman Weed Chopper years ago and even it was a pulsed output untill a certain current was drawn - then it would lock on and buzz like an arc welder for a longer pulse. It would burn off 1 inch saplings with no problem at all. They started lots of grass fires and were removed from the Canadian market, like 30 years or more ago.
my Dad had a charger for the bird cage. Most likely home
made. He used a blinker from a hobby shop, to pulse the
power supply.] gers work that way -
center posted, with respect for your style.
Sounds like a good thing, dogs getting socialized.
Maybe a dog activated catapult, to fling the dog over the fence, at his or her will? You don't have skunks in the area, do you?
Catapult can be named Save The Fence Ultimately, and you can shorten that to acronym, uh, well, we will think of some thing better, I'm sure.
Working The Fence? Hmm. Maybe not. I'll get back to you.
Wow.
We had occasion to want the state to repair the fence that borders an interstate highway. A tree had fallen on it, actually two trees in two places. The man in charge came out to the location with us, which wasn't far from his station. He said that they wouldn't repair it. I said, I thought you were required to have a fence. He said They're required to build a fence but not to repair it. I said I thought they were meant to keep deer off the highway.
He laughed and said a six (or were they 8) foot fence has no effect on deer. They just jump right over them. Elk I'm sure even more so, though I don't know about deer's dragging abilitilies.
He did say that in the city they would repair a broken fence, but in rural areas they would not, even though the fence was originally built everywhere.
