First attempt used an Xbox cooling fan, it was very effective but too bulky to be handheld. I came across a high flow mini server fan and knew it was what this project needed.
A handheld all in one unit that both attracts and kills pesky and potentially deadly mosquitos

Interesting and potentially very useful project! How do you plan on attracting the mosquitos? It was my understanding that they are attracted to exhaled CO2 (although I am not a biologist; that is just something I seem to remember hearing years ago).

I think your idea is great. How does it kill the mosquitos when they get in there? Does the fan just chop them up? If you could make it handle really tiny insects too (like fruit flys) that would make it even more amazing.
