They began going through the switches, which were relays housed in cans about the size of a soup can. They were getting arithmetic errors and could find no flaw in the code, so concluded it was a hardware problem.
I think she was 3rd person in the world to program a computer, so a real pioneer. Admiral Grace Hopper of the US Navy (deceased) started her career programming one of the first computers for the Navy. What ever will they do when they get a bug in the system?>įunny, but the first bug actually was a bug. That is an enormous problem, concentrated mostly in poor areas around the world.įortunately the World Health Organization’s interior spray program is having significant results, where it isn’t blocked by those who are not up to date with the safety and effectiveness of this life-saving program. And that is crutial, since most people probably don’t realize the number who get Malaria can reach a Half Billion People or more per year. So, with cost-effective spraying, enormous drops in Malaria death rates have been obtained. Those that stay tend to cling to walls at some point, thereby eliminating them from the gene pool. Those that do enter leave at a very high percentage rate. Beyond the high mosquito kill rate, DDT appears to have a unique ability to repel mosquitos from even entering a sprayed building. Meanwhile, the World Health Organziation re-evaluated decades of science research and is now promoting very successful interior wall spraying with DDT. Will be interesting to see if such technology can ever be made to be safe, effective and delivered at a competitive price. “Build a Better Mosquito Trap and the World will Beat a Path to Your Door.” So I predict a great future for the laser skita getta it will surely be the malaria cure of the future just like fusion is the energy of the future and always will be.Ĭreative – WMD – Weapon of Mosquito Destruction. People think the fuel is the Helium/tritium mixture used to blow up the balloons but no the pellets themsleves are the actual fuel, and it takes a damn side more energy to make one of those pellets than you ever get out of the crushed gases inside the pellet when they decide to fuse. Then you brush away the debris, and stick another sphere down maybe black wax works there too. These are fancy multilayer perfectly spherical hollow balls, that get squished by lasers all around them.
The corresponding fusion energy trick to sticking the skito on the pin, is to manufacture “fuel pellets”. You first catch your mosquito, and then stick him(er) on the head of a pin with black wax, so you can zap him(er) with the laser. There is no top coverage because mosquitoes don’t fly very high.Īnimal Cruelty if you ask me about on a par with putting a mouse in a pot on the stove and watching him dance when his feet get hot.īut speaking of lasers systems, this mosquito getter seems about as practical as laser implosion thermo-nuclear energy.
The red “fence” shows a border that mosquitoes can’t pass through, but it is safe for everything else. When that happens, the mosquitoes literally get toasted.įrom the website: This illustration shows one way our “photonic fence” mosquito laser system could be used to set up a perimeter defense, protecting a single building. “But we definitely can detect them and aim a beam at them,” he said.
Kare said the research team is still optimizing its targeting algorithm. He calls the project “the Photonic Fence.” “When we’re being lighthearted, we call it ‘the bug zapper,'” he explained.Īs its name suggests, the Photonic Fence prototype consists of two posts that direct laser fire at mosquitoes that fly between them. Kare said that “WMD: Weapon of Mosquito Destruction” isn’t a term used internally to refer to the project. The anti-mosquito laser system is being funded by Intellectual Ventures, a company run by Nathan Myhrvold, Microsoft’s former CTO. Here’s some background from Information Week:Īccording to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the project has been dubbed “WMD: Weapon of Mosquito Destruction.” It aims to kill mosquitoes with lasers to prevent the spread of malaria, which mosquitoes can transmit.

It will probably be a few years before the digitized ghost of Billy Mays hawks one on TV though. I want one, preferably with a USB port so I can watch the body count on my PC. It’s like Star Wars technology for vampire defense. Of course DDT isn’t allowed any more, but now you can kill these little buggers with a new gadget. Who doesn’t hate mosquitoes? For centuries humans have had to endure this pest, and we started to win the war when DDT came out.
