Mosquito Annihilator

M3 20mm screw and hexnut required. Given the sheer number of mosquitoes swarming in my room during evening hours, I needed an effective solution to eliminate them without risking injury or excessive effort. To tackle this problem, I utilized a hand sanitizer diffuser bottle filled with isopropyl alcohol. A 40mm tealight served as the flame source; I had securely fastened it into the holder using a small amount of wax. When working with hot wax, be cautious not to let it reach excessive temperatures after the flame has been burning for an extended period. The distance between the flame and diffuser was carefully calibrated to prevent any potential kickback that can occur with deodorant bottles. The duration of the flame burst was roughly 300ms (20 frames at 60fps).
