AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional rocket fireworks are ineffective in deterring harmful animals such as bears, monkeys, and wild boars, as they become accustomed to the loud sounds and flying trajectories, leading to significant crop damage and human safety risks.
Method used
A rocket projectile that incorporates chili pepper powder and fragments, designed to explode suddenly above animal dens, causing pain and startling animals, thereby deterring them with a loud sound and chili powder scattering.
Benefits of technology
Effectively deters harmful animals by causing pain and startling them, reducing crop damage and human safety risks through sudden explosions and chili powder dispersion.

Abstract
Rocket projectiles and firecrackers to deter animals that cause damage to crops: Conventional rocket fireworks do not address the damage caused by monkeys, wild boars, deer, and bears throughout Japan. In fiscal year 2016, the estimated damage was 13.678 billion yen, and if you include the deaths and injuries caused by bears to humans, the damage is enormous. [Solution] Unlike before, this method inflicts pain on the pests, teaching them that humans are dangerous and preventing them from appearing in populated areas. It is an invention developed to amplify the explosion and bursting sound of conventional rocket fireworks, and to suddenly detonate chili powder (capsaicin) in mid-air above the animal's head, inflicting pain on its eyes, nose, and mouth, thus preventing it from ever appearing in populated areas again. Of course, these rocket projectiles and firecrackers are to be used in areas where there are no people (upwind). The firecrackers are mainly for use against bears and deer. Unlike conventional rocket fireworks that make a "whoosh" sound (curved trajectory), these rocket projectiles do not make that sound.
