Mozziecutor

Project Genre: Product

Project Description: Some mosquito breeds spread fatal diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika virus disease, and yellow fever; resulting in several millions deaths every year. There is no specific treatment or vaccination against these diseases thus the best way to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases is prevention. Study shows that mosquitoes detect humans mainly by the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) we exhale. Mozziecutor produces CO2 through photo catalyst reaction, hence confusing mosquitoes of the CO2 source. Since most mosquitoes feed at night, Mozziecutor is designed to function also as a table lamp, providing two functions in one product.
