  The purpose of this method is to introduce small volumes of the main substance (insecticide) in an efficient manner. The reason for the efficiency of this method is the decrease in the size of the particulate material.

This machine consists of a small pressurized chemical tank, where the dilution of material is placed, a fuel tank, a combustion chamber, an air intake, and a resonator. The most common fuels used are pure oils (petrol, diesel) or aqueous mixtures containing glycol.
