Bill Gates (or realistically someone in his organization) should answer my emails. I'm going to deliver him a way to curb malaria spreading at cost, and nobody over there has gotten a hold of me yet. I'm severely tempted to just drive to his house and drop the prototype off....
Post an explanation + clear diagrams of how it works somewhere, and your process for making the prototype with pictures of it. And details about the cost/parts etc.
Then drum up some interest. Get some blogs to write about it, then hopefully bigger media. Works better if you can point out something unusual - eg if you were 15 years old, that would work really well for you here, or if you can put a concrete estimate to the cost/benefit - "Save 100 Lives For $100 With This Anti-Mosquito Shield". Find their angle for them, and you have a better chance. Someone will get a hold of you then.
The time-lapse with proof that it works would probably help a lot if you could as well, but details are even better for the skeptics among us.
Thanks, I will try to do that. The only unusual thing about me is that I scooped Google once, and they acted weird about it. I'm twice that age though :)
Right now I am trying to figure out how to get a proper medical study done that this stuff doesn't affect people.
An antbot attachment that causes mosquitos to stop flying, so they are easy to kill on the ground. I am working on having the antbot also kill the mosquitos without being piloted.
Googling for "antbot" returns a variety of seemingly unrelated projects. Could you possibly be more specific? But more curious to know the mechanism behind it that causes mosquitos to stop flying.
Though I have to say, robotics doesn't seem like the cheapest way to go about killing malaria - though it would be awesome if it turns out to be.
I will gladly send you a prototype to try (and return the 20 dollars to you if you do not like it). I don't believe in NDAs, so be aware that if you decide to annex the design, I will eat you.
