Oh, how cool is this!
It tracks the bugs and then zaps them with a laser beam! For real!
They talk about using it to keep mozzies out of an area, but there are two problems (at the moment), firstly, its range is only 25 to 100 meters, so you will need a whole bunch of them to cover any sort of real area (but perfect for my back patio).
Secondly, they use just a little too much power to go full solar – but they almost have a solution for that, higher power shorter burst of laser.
Anyway, I just thought it super cool. Loads of people have talked about such a device, me included, it’s great to see it come to life.
Now, if we just had bugs in Southern California……
