Solar-Powered Mosquito Trap

October 2021 - April 2022
EN.520.212 ECE Engineering Team Project

Description:

I worked with 3 undergraduate ECE students at JHU to research and build early prototypes of a solar-powered mosquito trap.

The trap should be as affordable as possible and alternate power sources between a LiPo battery and a solar panel.

It heats up a semiconductor heating pad to 2 degrees celsuis above ambient temperature, then lures and kills mosquitos with insecticide.
