Abstract

There is much to suggest that UVC light can effectively kill coronavirus. The aim of the project is to optimize, certify and prepare the production of a UVC box - which is a closed box with an automatic and hands-free closing mechanism and integrated lamps that emit UVC light, which can kill viruses and bacteria. The UVC light emitted from the lamps from many angles in the UVC box can sterilize smaller products such as smartphones, tablets, keyboards and perhaps simple medical equipment, such as protective equipment. The goal is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when we all return to work.
