Zephyr-EXL with Optional CO2 Power System = "​Enhanced Portability" 


Picture
Zephyr-EXL
Field tested on 40lb birds.
One firing of the Zephyr-EXL instantly and irreversibly stuns turkeys.
Contact of the high velocity bolt causes a differential acceleration between the cranium and the brain.  The resulting blunt force trauma causes instant irreversible loss of consciousness.  

When locating the Zephyr-EXL to the turkey, contact of the Zephyr-EXL's nose piece with the turkey's head is not required.  The Zephyr-EXL is held approximately 1 inch above the center of the turkey head and aligned between the back of the eye and the ear.  When the Zephyr-EXL trigger is actuated, the resulting bolt displacement is sufficient to contact the turkey.  Note: the turkey remains calm since there is no pressure on the head prior to firing.  The turkey is rendered unconscious before the nervous system can respond; no pain is felt and the welfare of the turkey is conserved.

The Zephyr-EXL is also similarly effective for piglets.

In the standard power configuration the Zephyr-EXL is connected by a hose to a 125 psi compressed air tank.  A standard air compressor is connected to the air tank and maintains a 125 psi pressurized air supply to the Zephyr-EXL.

In this optional power configuration the Zephyr-EXL is connected by a short hose to a 125 psi CO2 power source.  The CO2 power source consists of several components: a bottle of compressed CO2, a special C02 pressure regulator, and a short hose to connect the CO2 regulator to the to the Zephyr-EXL.  The CO2 regular is factory set to reduce the 800psi CO2 bottle pressure to 125 psi outlet pressure for the Zephyr-EXL.

CO2 Regulator

CO2 regulator is preset to 125 psi and threads on to the top of the CO2 bottle.

Note: The Zephyr-EXL is loaded automatically by CO2 pressure and will fire with each trigger pull as shown on the video.
