Ойын-сауық
A new laser system can kill mosquitoes without harming other insects, as shown in slowmotion video. It's all part of the effort to combat malaria.

Just listen to what they say in the video... Being able not only to recognize different species of insects, but also to tell apart male from female based on their wing flaps? With cheap consumer-grade electronics? Really? This alone made it unrealistic. A fun fact - talking about infrared laser beam and showing a violet (probably supposed to be ultraviolet) one... Nope, sorry, this video is definitely not believable to me.

Because Buzzbomb actually, most CMOS chip camera sensors can 'see' infrared light. Usually it shows up in the image as a reddish purple color. You can see this for yourself with your cell phone and TV remote control. Point your camera at the diode at the front and push a button. You should see the led flash in the video, but it will be invisible if you look at it yourself.
I think if someone made a feature length film of mosquitoes getting blasted in slow motion, I'd sit and watch it all the way through.

(4 years later) every time i get bitten by a mosquito I fantasize about something like this. A flock of tiny dragonfly-sized drones that you just toss into the air whenever you want to go on a hike in a bad place. Sadly the closest tech there is to this is Harvard's robotic fly thingy from ages ago, which still lacks a proper portable battery.
I live in southeast Texas, you'd need a death star to make an impression on the pterygotes 'round these parts. They swarm up out the marsh lookin like smoke, till you drive your truck through that "smoke" and straight to a car wash because you can't see anymore.

So, this will kill a mosquito if it just happens to fly directly into the path of the beam? This is cool and all, but I do not see how this is going to kill enough mosquitos to make any difference. I think your typical bug zapper would kill as many if not more; unless this thing can focus and target in a large area.
Don't let the males live either.

There is draw back in this systems because the laser not only shoot mosquitoes but is a danger to human as well. What if the stray laser beam hit the human eye by accident.
@TheMiracleMatter
6 жыл бұрын
Yup, but given that the whole system focuses its attention on a very specific pattern before striking (shooting down only female mosquitoes), I reckon accidents of this kind are going to be overwhelmingly unlikely. And also, surely we can warn the end user to shut down the device before passing its lines of defense to be safe.

Antiair for mosquitoes.Nice
It depends on how long the exposure is, where the laser hit them and the power of the laser. If their skin is only exposed to a 100mW beam for less than a second, they would feel a small bit of warmth where the laser hit them. If this was a +500mW laser, they would instantly feel a very sharp pain on their skin. If the person gets the laser in their eye, even for a split-second, they will likely immediately suffer permanent injury to the retina. Google "hit in eye with 1W laser".
