Hygea
Joe Brooks, Carlos Carrillo, Carly Ciardullo, Erika Reyes
Designed as a self-sustaining mosquito trap, Hygea attracts insects with LEDs and a living system of bacteria, including Bacillus Thuringienses Israeliensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Cyanobacteria. Once captured, the bacteria feed on dead mosquitoes and harness the energy to charge the LEDs.
