Summer arrives and with it comes the heat, the horrible songs, the dark "paleta" and the hated ones mosquitoes. If when you sleep alone they are a nightmare, imagine yourself in bed with your baby next to you and suddenly hear that buzzing near your ear that makes you open your eyes instantly, sit on the bed and prepare to end who threatens to leave to your little one loaded with bites.
Anti-mosquito inventions there are many. In Taiwan, for example, they have devised an electronic mushroom called InaTrap He promises to kill the mosquitoes in style, keeping them where we can't see them until we decide to throw them away.
He InaTrap It is a plastic and ceramic mushroom with a very modern design that is plugged in as if it were a running lamp. At the top we can find the power button, which is what will start the device in question, turning it into a deadly mosquito weapon.
All thanks to CO2 emissions and blue light
At the moment we turn it on, the mushroom starts a catalytic circuit that generates carbon dioxide (CO2) in small quantities, mimicking the exhalation of air that humans make (you already know that we capture O2 by inspiring and eliminating CO2 when exhaling). In addition, a small blue LED light comes on, which together with CO2 they become the mosquito's claims ("Come to me ..., come to me ...").
At the moment when the insects decide to approach the light (if they already said it in Polstergeist: "Caroline, do not look at the light!") A suction fan catches the mosquito and channels it to a reservoir where it is trapped. When we want we can empty the deposit and write down the catch of the day in a notebook, in case you want to keep a record of the achievements. On the fan, they say, is completely silent.
The price could be an impediment
Now, although the invention seems past (it seems to me ... I do not know if it works, but it is tempting), the price pulls back. Can be purchased on Amazon for "only" $ 85, and the only impediment to acquire it is not only the price, but it is only in Amazon USA, from where they do not usually send to Spain. If you want to try, you can also buy it by ebay in Hong Kong, although you have to bid and win.
If you start distributing to Amazon in the United Kingdom or even to Amazon in Spain, or if you arrive in Europe by other means, you may end up getting one to sleep at last with the peace of mind knowing that I will not wake up at midnight with a drop of sweat running down my forehead and ruffled hair for having noticed a mosquito perching on my ear and knowing that my children are safe.
I leave you with a video about the pot, although it is not working. Let's say you only teach us how beautiful it is:
