Powered by solar panels and wind turbines located at the top of each streetlight, this cutting-edge eco-invention operates completely off-grid. The LED lamp produces low levels of carbon dioxide, luring in mosquitoes until they’re close enough to be sucked into a capture net where they can’t fly away. The streetlight also measures the height of floodwater - the bottom of the light is waterproof, while the top is equipped with antennas that send reports and warnings if water levels get too high. If that wasn’t enough, the light has outlets for charging cell phones and rechargeable batteries in case of power outages
