Our Team was given the goal to create a cleaning system for Firefighters using UV light only. We've taken many steps by now, and are excited to showcase our milestones since the initial start of our project. 

First, we determined the basics; how much power and intensity will be needed to clean basic bacteria with UV. We asked teams already undergoing research for UV cleaning, and determined the intensity needed for most common bacteria. Afterwards, our medical team conducted research to ensure safe experiments when handling any potentially dangerous tools or UV exposure. In order to make sure our particular bulb would work, the medical team cultured simple water samples to form bacteria made to be erased by UV. There have been different sources of water used, but the same one minute of exposure to be cleaned.
