ARMD - a device to raise awareness on climate change
Designed and developped in Fab Lab CEPT
Project story
Human activity increasingly generates artificial aerosols (particles due to the traffic activity, factories,…) that alter locally the climate and the health.
But our daily impact seems intangible, theoric.
Moreover, existing scientific devices to measure the amount of nocive particles are currently unaffordable, seldom intuitive and not user-friendly.
In 2016, Mohit created his own version of “Sun Photometer”, 16 times cheaper than the scientific ones and user-friendly. 3 colours on the device will show you the level of nocive particles around you. The objective of Mohit: bring awareness of people, its 1st target is children, on climate change
How did he use the lab?
Thanks to the lab, Mohit became an electronics enthusiast and learnt how to design thanks to softwares. He has been able to make his 1st prototype thanks to the machines and available material.
What’s next ?
Mohit would like to add more features: alarm system, graph and spreadsheet integrated in the device. And by the end of May, he’ll document and post in opensource all his researches.
