THE USE OF COMPARATORS FOR AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF THE SPLASHED RAIN DROPS

Marek Kuna-Broniowski, Izabela Kuna-Broniowska

 

ABSTRACT



The paper deals with measurement and classification of the size of the splashed drops of rain using a new formula of classification. According to the new idea a measuring instrument was constructed, in which fast comparators are used. This method of classification offers more exact measurement of the number of drops in every class of size. The older apparatus lost some of the splashed drops, so estimation of the distribution of the effects of the splash was less exact.

Key words: comparator, charging and receiving electrodes, splash of a raindrop, measurement of the drop size, plant diseases.
