For our project we decided to make an easy way to kill disgusting/hard to reach bugs without any hassle. Although killing a bug can be construed as a trivial task, it can be quite difficult, especially if the person trying to kill it is also disgusted by it. Our group wanted to figure a way to remove the annoying insects from our life without touching them or chasing them, so the idea of our bug zapper was born. We knew we wanted to make this device in the shape of a laser gun of some sort like this picture.
We also wanted it to kill a multitude of bugs ranging from different sizes, so we decided to program different voltages for the gun to use in order to kill the bug. Lastly we came across the problem of disposing the bug after it has been zapped, so we came up with the idea to have the gun shoot out a small plastic bag whenever it kills a bug. This will allow for the person to get rid of the bug with no mess and without having to do any dirty work.
^ this will be the end the result of the bug/spider that has been shot dead using our bug zapper. It is convenient for anyone who doesn’t want to put in any effort or go near any bug whatsoever
