DESIGN NAME: Mosquito Catcher
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mosquito killer
INSPIRATION: Mosquitoes can cause many epidemic diseases such as dengue fever, meningitis and so on. Nowadays, most mosquito repellent products for domestic use contain large amounts of chemicals and it has harmful to humans if we use it for long time. In addition, how to make mosquito products into the family decoration, as the art of home. And let people can not feel it is a mosquito killer.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: "Mosquito Catcher" adopts physical way to kill mosquitoes. It biting humans mainly depends on the CO2 emitted by humans. "Mosquito Catcher" has four CO2 simulator at the top of the product to mimic human CO2 to attract mosquitoes. At the same time, the wavelength of 360-400nm light produced by ultraviolet lamp can also attract mosquitoes. The mosquitoes that be attract to around the pot, inhaling mosquitoes through the built-in suction fan to the bottom of the pot until mosquitoes is dried.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: First, put in carbon dioxide simulator. Then fill the battery and turn on the switch. It is very easy to use.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2017 in Wuhan and finished in September 2017 in Wuhan.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Idea and Conceptual Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The interior of the work uses a suction fan with a wavelength of 360nm-400nm. CO2 simulators are also used. The external material uses PEEK.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 250mm x 150mm x 150mm
TAGS: Mosquito, Physical Way, Pot
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Through our studies, mosquitoes mainly feed on the juices of plants. Mosquitoes find humans mainly to rely on the carbon dioxide emitted by the human body to find human beings. And an ultraviolet light that has wavelength of 360-400nm by an ultraviolet tube can also attract mosquitoes. Combine these three methods to attract mosquitoes with high efficiency.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge is how to increase the interactivity of people and products. We constantly put forward new ideas and constantly modify the shape. After repeated modification and collision of thinking, finally the work is perfectly presented.
