| COMPARISON – DIVERTER – FLAPPER/ DEFLECTOR – WARNING BALL | |||
| FEATURE |  |  |  |
| Moving vs Stationery | DANGLER OF IndoDivert , DUE TO ITS SWAYING AND ROTATIONAL MOTION, FOR SURE GETS NOTICED BY BIRDS. | THERE ARE NO NOTICEABLE ROTATING PARTS, DUE TO WHICH IT MAY SKIP BIRD’S EYE. | WARNING BALL/ MARKERS ARE ALSO STATIONERY OBJECTS. |
| REFLECTIVE AREA | SIZE OF INDODIVERT DISK IS BIG (9”)… TO BE NOTICED EASILY. OVERALL SIZE OF DIVERTER IS APPROX. 17 INCHES | SIZE OF FLAPPERS IS SMALL. APPROXIMATE 4 INCHES REFLECTIVE AREA OF DISK IS VERY SMALL. ONLY A SMALL PIECE OF REFLECTIVE TAPE IS PASTED IN THE MIDDLE | DIAMETER OF BALL IS APPROX. 20 INCHES- ALMOST 3 INCHES LARGER THAN DIVERTER. WHEREAS WEIGHT OF DIVERTER IS 1/6TH OF SPHERE MOVING, SWAYING AND SPINNING DIVERTER DRAWS MORE ATTRACTION THAN SPHERE |
| LONGEVITY | NO PARTS HIT EACH OTHER. ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT IS ASSISTED WITH BEARINGS FOR LONGEVITY AND PRECISION. DURING SWAYING MOVEMENT, ONLY STAINLESSSTEEL PARTS COME IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER. | Bird Flappers: FUNCTION OF FLAPPERS IS SIMILAR TO CLAPPING. FLAPPERS HIT EACH OTHER/ SUSPENSION CLAMP WHILE BEING USED, RESULTING IN BREAKAGE, WHICH REDUCES ITS LIFE | TOTAL LOAD IS BORNE BY CLAMPS HOLDING CONDUCTOR AND BALL. THIS CAUSES EXTREME STRESS IN THAT AREA, LEADING TO BREAKAGE. |
| FEATURE |  |  |  |
| VISIBILITY | DIVERTER HAS LARGE REFLECTORS, WHICH REFLECT SUN & MOON LIGHT. IT GLOWS IN DARK. GLOW IN DARK FEATURE IS EMBEDDED IN POLYMER DURING MOULDING HENCE WORKS FOR YEARS AND YEARS | VERY SMALL REFLECTIVE AREA. NO ROTATION FEATURE – NO BEARINGS BEARINGS ARE ESSENTIAL TO DISSIPATE WIND ENERGY. RINGS DO NOT ALLOW DISK TO ROTATE, HENCE FULL WIND PRESSURE IS PASSED TO CLAMP & CONDUCTOR, RESULTING IN DAMAGE OF SAME. | TO ADD GLOW IN FEATURE, BALL IS COATED BY NIGHT GLOW COLOURS. PAINT LIFE IS LIMITED, HENCE GLOWING FEATURE DIMINISHES WITH TIME. |
| WEIGHT | WEIGHT OF ONE DIVERTER IS APPROX. 750GMS. IN A SPAN OF 300 METERS , APPROX 28 DIVERTERS ARE TO BE USED. OVERALL LOAD ON CONDUCTOR IS MERE 21 Kgs BIRD FLIGHT DIVERTER IS DESIGNED TO DISSIPATE WIND ENERGY. IT STOPS WIND PRESSURE TO PASS ON TO CONDUCTOR/ CLAMP. | SINCE, THE DISKS ARE ATTACHED BY A RING TO THE CLAMP, THEY DO NOT DISSIPATE WIND ENERGY, THUS DESPITE OF BEING LIGHT IN WEIGHT, WIELD MORE LOAD ON CONDUCTOR. IN CASE OF DIVERTER, DISK ROTATES, SWAYS AND DANGLES TO DISSIPATE WIND ENERGY. HENCE NO LOAD IS TRANSFERRED TO CONDUCTOR | WEIGHT OF ONE SPHERE IS APPROX. 5KGS. IN A SIMILAR SPAN, LOAD ON CONDUCTOR IS 100KGS |
| CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL METAL | ALL METAL PARTS USED IN IndoDivert ARE CORROSION FREE. VERY HIGH TENSION TITANIUM/ SS-304 SPRINGS ARE USED, FOR STRONG & UNIFORM GRIP | GALVANIZED BOLTS USED TO COUPLE BOTH PARTS OF SPHERE | |
| FEATURE |  |  |  |
| CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL POLYMERS | POLYMERIC PARTS USED IN IndoDivert CLAMP OF IndoDivert IS MANUFACTURED USING ENGINEERING PLASTIC WHICH CAN WITH STAND CONDUCTOR TEMPERATURE UP TO 90 oC DISK IS MANUFACTURED USING MATERIAL WHICH IS UV STABILIZED AND SELF LUMINESCENT AND GLOWS DURING DARK. | SMALL WARNING DISK IS USED FOR TWO REASONS: 1. FOR WITHSTANDING WIND PRESSURE ABOVE 100KM/HR, EXTRA STRONG CLAMPS IS REQUIRED, WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE. 2. HENCE SMALL DISK IS USED. LESS SURFACE AREA = LESS PRESSURE ON CLAMP | MADE USING ABS OR FIBRE NOT SELF LUMINESCENT FLUORESCENT PAINT COATING, WHICH HAS LIMITED LIFE |
| EFFECT OF WIND & STRESS ON CABLES | SINCE IndoDivert IS DESIGNED TO MOVE, IT IMMEDIATELY DISSIPATES THE PRESSURE CAUSED BY WIND, THUS STRESS ON CONDUCTOR IS NEGLIGIBLE | LIMITED / NO ROTATING DISK DOES NOT ALLOW WIND PRESSURE TO DISSIPATE. HENCE CAUSES LOAD ON CONDUCTOR | BECAUSE OF BULKY SHAPE AND STATIONERY DESIGN, CAUSES EXCESSIVE LOAD AND STRESS ON CONDUCTOR |
