The Challenge | Health Makes Wealth

Integrate NASA Earth science data and citizen science data to learn more about the connections between human, animal, and environmental health.

ANTI-PLASTIC BOX/what the world needs now....

This is totally about clearing plastic debris. It is an idea of kit which contains required stuff to make environment for the growth of specific bacterium and fungal species, so these fungal or bacterium species eat up plastic as food.

IOTA

We have built a Anti-plastic box, which contains incubator for growth of plastic eating bacterium. arduino is connected with LM35 temperature sensor and pH sensor where it gets inputs of temperature and pH values. When data is obtained then according to requirements code for arduino is written, arduino is connected to coolant and heater to control the temperature and pH bottles to control pH of broth in incubator. LCD screen displays the temperature and pH values of broth.

It is to be noted that temperature and pH sensors are present inside the incubator.

There is an air pump which continuously sends air into the broth for better oxygen supply.

The basic body of box is made up of aluminium,

The components of the box are,

1.Arduino (uno),

2.LCD screen,

3.LM35 temperature detector,

4.Aerator (for the circulation of air and maintaining the required amount of oxygen supply),

5.Relay

6.Incubator where the microorganism is cultivated.

7.Water coolant

8.Induction heater

9.pH bottles (acidic and alkaline)

10.water pumps

11.pH sensor
