Abstract

In the present article a basic design for the snake hunt in the Ecuadorian Jungle at a domestic scale is presented, minimizing the risk of bites and poisoning to the people who carry out these activities in these zones. The mechanism considers a source of autonomous solar energy supply to transform it into electrical energy. In the present work of investigation also the simulations in Matlab and their design characteristics are presented. The research process consisted of collecting data on solar radiation, temperature, through a meteorological station located in the Amazon rainforest.

The exposed system does not have the purpose of exploitation on an industrial scale, which is intended to reduce the risk in the snake hunt and promote natural medicine, ancestral knowledge and maintain the cultural production of rural areas, peoples and nationalities that Throughout the times they have been developing in Ecuador.

In the end, we present the results of the simulations and general design of the system for the snake hunt with the use of materials from the area and other materials that contribute to the conservation of the environment.
