Touch-less Disinfecting Contraption using UV-C Light

Abstract

Abstract: An electro-mechanical disinfecting device is designed and implemented using UV-C (Ultraviolet-C Radiation light). This device is made completely touchless in an effort to avoid viruses from being contacted to the device. The outbreak of SARS-COV-2 has led to serious public health emergencies. The vital step for preventing the spread of coronavirus is sanitizing, disinfecting. Ultraviolet radiation as a disinfecting unit is preferable to chemical-based sanitation, with research studies proving its effectiveness in deactivating viruses when exposed to the radiation. The things to be disinfected are exposed to UV radiation in this closed chamber and the device is operated using sensors.

The main objective is to design a cost-effective device that can be availed at any public place by anyone.
