Story

Our engineering course at Polytech Sorbonne requires the students during the second semester of the fourth year to submit a project.

The Polytech's professors proposed us some topics, we end up by choosing the Electrical harp for Asian hornets which is an interesting project because we all know that many farmers are struggling with giant Asian hornets issues.

The final goal is to create an electrical 'harp' which can be placed in front of bee hives. The spacing of the wires allows bees to pass but is too narrow for Asian hornets, which are electrocuted.

Please find below a video of the system's block diagram with more explanation.
