Publication number: 20250187026Abstract: A fluid dispersion system for agricultural sprayers may include a first axial fan within a first housing and a second axial fan within a second housing for driving air toward a dispersion chamber. The diameter of the first axial fan and housing may be less than the diameter of the second axial fan and housing such that, during operation, air is forced through the first housing and the second housing while air is also entrained around the first housing into the second housing. The configuration of the axial fans and housings creates turbulence within the dispersion chamber to amplify the dispersion of fluid dispensed within the dispersion chamber by one or more fluid nozzles. One or more air baffles may be disposed within the dispersion chamber to amplify air turbulence within the dispersion chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2024Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventor: Brent Davis

Publication number: 20230010326Abstract: A grounded and modular fall-impact protection airbag system designed to absorb the kinetic energy of objects or persons falling from high elevations in such a manner that concurrently cushions impact while minimizing the transfer of elastic potential energy that can result in a rebound event. In this manner, the potential for damage or injury is minimized in both the impact and rebound kinetic energy transfer events. In contrast to existing grounded fall-protection airbag systems that require continuous airflow from pneumatic devices to maintain optimal pressure before and after impact, this system provides the to use air pressure release valves that are actuated upon impact and release air pressure at a rate that safely decelerates the object or individual without a rebound effect. This allows for the system to be pressurized once per use, thus decreasing energy requirements and operational costs, improving system reliability, and increasing overall safety to the site.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventor: Brent Davis
