01.01 Describe your project in more detail

There has been a constant need to either use car air conditioner or lower windows in search of fresh air, this significantly affects comfort of car rides for both drivers and commuters because there's always a risk of street snatchers and muggers trying to steal from unsuspecting car occupants who may happen to be holding their valuables. The demister helps to get rid of the most that accumulates on the car windshield while driving in the rain or cold places. The Car interior exhaust removers are small solar powered gadgets that pump out bad odors and keeps the car interior fresh and non stuffy even if it's parked for a long time.

The car interior cooling fans are here to address the challenge of insecurity that originates from street snatchers in areas like Khoja roundabout where vigilance is advised, there's is also a risk of contracting airbonedisease, this may happen when dust carrying harmful microorganisms is blown into the car through open windows . The demister helps to blow off the condensed water that settles on the windshield while driving in the rain and Cold places with a click of a single switch, reduces the reliance to the car air conditioner that some find difficult to operate.
