Gravity Slingshot: The Most Unorthodox Bug Trapping Technique
The Gravity Slingshot is a highly experimental trap designed for the most stubborn of bugs. Its unique mechanism utilizes the fundamental forces of gravity to ensnare its victims.
How it Works:
The Gravity Slingshot consists of a massive, weighted counterbalance and a smaller, lighter projectile. When activated, the counterbalance is launched towards the target, creating a localized gravitational field that attracts the bug.
As the counterbalance approaches the target, the projectile is released, using the bug's own gravity to propel it back towards the counterbalance. Once trapped, the bug is then carefully extracted and relocated to a nearby habitat.
Notable Success Stories:
Technical Specifications:
- Launch Speed: 50 km/h
- Counterbalance Weight: 500 kg
- Projectile Weight: 10 g
Side Effects:
Mild to moderate collateral damage to nearby flora and fauna. May cause temporary loss of appetite in nearby wildlife.
Please note that the Gravity Slingshot is still an experimental device and should only be used by trained professionals.
