Abstract
A device for distributing granular material to a target area from an aircraft is provided. The device includes one or more electric sifters, and each of the one or more electric sifters includes a motor to distribute the granular material on the target area and a screen on the bottom surface of the electric sifter. The granular material is stored in the one or more electric sifters. The screen includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion allows the granular material to pass through the screen to the target area. The second portion prevents the granular material from passing through the screen. The device also includes a circuit to control the motors, one or more power sources to power the motor and the circuit, and an interface for a human operator to control the circuit.
