"The need for weed control for food is growing as the world's population increases.This market is currently dominated by herbicide manufacturers. However, that industry is under significant pressure for two keys reasons. The first is that weeds are increasingly becoming naturally resistant to herbicides. The second is that regulators have recognised this challenge, and couple with health and environmental concerns, have started to restrict or ban their use.Using electricity to kill weeds addresses the fundamental shortcomings of chemical herbicides and other thermal or mechanical alternative methods.This project will see if it is feasibility to run electrical weed killing technology from a battery. Achieving this will allow the technology to be used in any current and future weeding platform, allowing it to become a viable, scalable and organic alternative to chemical herbicides."

“随着世界人口的增加，人们对食品除草的需求也在增加。目前，除草剂制造商主导着这一市场。然而，由于两个关键原因，该行业面临着巨大的压力。首先，杂草越来越多地对除草剂产生天然抗药性。第二，监管机构已经认识到了这一挑战，再加上对健康和环境的担忧，已经开始限制或禁止杂草的使用。使用电力除草解决了化学除草剂和其他热力或机械替代方法的根本缺点。该项目将看看用电池运行电子除草技术是否可行。实现这一目标将使该技术能够用于目前和未来的任何除草平台，使其成为一种可行、可扩展和有机的化学除草剂替代品。“
