Chennai: Three Chennai students of Class 11 have invented a state-of-the-art device with which to electrocute mosquitoes.

I.
Abirami, T. Opeel­e­aya and V. Then­mozhi, students of a private school
in Chennai, are the young inventors, taking time to think out of the
box where most others their age would perhaps routinely drop in at a
shop to pick up coils and mosquito repellents to ensure they got a good
night’s sleep.

The device that
the three students have created raises a vapour that smells similar to
the human body, deceiving the mosquitoes into alighting on a charged
wire.

“This will be the first device to kill mosquitoes
while all the other products available in the market only repel them.
The liquid used lasts two months and can be replaced once over,” said
Alphonse, who guided the students in the project.
