Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Auslösen von Lawinenabgängen und eine Vorrichtung zum Durchführen des Verfahrens. Es ist die Aufgabe gestellt, Lawinenabgänge absichtlich auszulösen durch das Schaffen lokaler Luftdruckunterschiede bzw. Erschütterungen in oder auf einer lawinenverdächtigen Schneemasse. Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch den Einsatz pneumatisch erzeugter Energieimpulse, indem die potentielle Energie hochkomprimierter Gase schlagartig, wahlweise auch gerichtet freigesetzt wird und dabei die erzeugten niederfrequenten Schwingungen zum absichtlichen Auslösen von Lawinenabgängen führt.

The invention relates to a method for triggering avalanches and a device for carrying out the method. The object is to deliberately trigger avalanches by creating local differences in air pressure or vibrations in or on a suspected snow avalanche. The object is achieved by the use of pneumatically generated energy pulses by the potential energy of highly compressed gases abruptly, optionally also released directionally, while the generated low-frequency oscillations leads to intentional triggering avalanche.
