During the sessions at the Tech4Dev conference at EPFL there was a very inspiring and nice presentation of a project investigated in Tanzania. Attracting the outdoor mosquitoes with human smells (eg stinky socks), which can be easily chemically made by simple available chemicals, and then zapping them in a electrocution HV trap, solar-powered and you can recharge your mobile phone. Thanks to Fredros Okumu for showing this interesting project. let's just make it open source and share the idea!
