JOH-KGN001-20070704-LV-P1 DOG WATCH SENSORS Prototype-fabricated dog that that has sensors to detect motion in a protected area. It produces mechanical motions and sounds which frightens and scares away the monkeys Sound requires an audio player amplifier and audio speaker to be audible from far

REQUIREMENTS Sensors: Infrared and motion detectors JOH-KGN001-20070704-LV-P1 REQUIREMENTS Sensors: Infrared and motion detectors Materials: dog will be made of iron Moving parts of the dog: Jaws, sitting position to lying position Audio: audio player, amplifier - Recorded angry dog barking and monkey in distress sound Power: Solar or electricity
