Where can I buy an anti mosquito air defense system?
The video gives the impression that the mosquitoes can be tracked with the ultrasonic sensor used and killed with the laser, but this is not the case
Something like this:
Viral video shows ‘radar air defense system’ claimed to shoot mosquitos with lasers
The Gates Foundation has something like this 20 years ago. It used the sounds of wing beats to find and identify gender and species.
It is unclear why nothing came of it. I look it up every few years....
Probably haven't solved the issue of friendly fire, i.e. potentially blinding users.
It used a micropulse of IR laser. Your eye couldn't see it, nor focus it properly. However, it had just enough power to overheat and damage the mosquito wings.
I believe the issue was with the targeting. It could don't, but not cheap enough for the mass deployment they intended. Mosquito nets were far more effective, once cost was accounted for.
A laser strong enough to shoot a mosquito down will also be strong enough to cause instant permanent blindness. Would you really want to be in the same room as that thing?
As long as I'm not looking at it I'd feel more comfortable with it that being surrounded by mosquitoes. Would you rather be surrounded by mosquitoes than be in the same room as that thing?
Just buy a mosquito net and an Off® candle like the rest of us do.
Yes, if it's strong enough to instantly kill a mosquito with a pulse it is likely that looking at the spot can blind you.
The real story is how easy it is for bullshit to go viral.
Yeah, I have my doubts. Cool in concept, but getting a radar that is that sensitive and able to track quick movements seems difficult.
It looks like it's just using an SR04 ultrasonic sensor too which isn't even that precise.
Doubt anything like that id available for sale. He took the radar from a car, probably needed some serious tweaking to get it to track smaller objects and ignore larger ones.
If you have any military connections, get your hands on a AN/APG-81 from an F-35 and cook all the mosquitos in the room. Get any pets or food out first, of course.
I don't doubt a laser could fry a mosquito; but could a mosquito actually be seen on radar? I would think LIDAR would be better at detecting such a small thing, and even then...
As long as the wavelength is adequate, you can track anything.
You likely can't. The reason being the patents for the technology are owned by patent trolls who refuse to let them be used.
