PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pseudo egg which can prevent a short circuit accident between electric wires and a ground fault between an electric wire and the ground, which are caused by a snake which climbs up a tower.SOLUTION: A pseudo egg 3 is set at a low position of a steel tower 1 to prevent a snake, which climbs up a tower to hunt eggs of wild birds and the like, from climbing up the tower to the position of an electric wire 2. To use the characteristic of snakes of having week vision and having a capability of sensing infrared rays, and to take into consideration the snakes including diurnal snakes and nocturnal snakes, a heat storage material 5 and an electric heater are provided inside the pseudo egg 3 such that a large amount of infrared rays can be generated, the electric heater being energized with electric power from a photovoltaic power generation panel to be heated to a high temperature, the heat storage material 5 being provided for keeping the high temperature also during night.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】蛇の昇塔によって生じる電線間の短絡事故、電線と地表間の地絡事故を抑制することができる疑似卵を提供する。【解決手段】蛇は、野鳥の卵等を狙って昇塔するので、疑似卵3を鉄塔1の低い位置に設置し、蛇が電線2の位置まで昇塔させない。蛇には昼行性と夜行性の蛇があり、視力が低い、赤外線の感知能力を有する蛇の性質を利用して、疑似卵3には多くの赤外線が発生できるように、内部に蓄熱材5と電気ヒータを有し、太陽光発電パネルからの電力を電気ヒータに通電して高温にする。夜間も高温に保つように、蓄熱材5を有している。【選択図】図1
