Stinky Sock Oil Lamps - Designs for the ‘Malaria Must Go’ Project to Fend of Mosquitos (GALLERY)
Designs for the ‘Malaria Must Go’ Project to Fend of Mosquitos

Andrew Stordy, of the Royal College of Art’s Industrial Design Engineering program, has developed a series of paraffin burning lamps, as part of the Malaria Must Go project.

The charcoal-powered prototype shown in the first image is named LINDA, which is a mosquito-repelling oil lamp to kill the malaria carrying bugs. The odd part about LINDA is that it first baits the mosquitoes with a combination of carbon dioxide and human foot-odor, hence the suspended sock.

Despite this oddity, it is hard to argue with the noble cause of preventing the world’s largest child killer.
