description: The transfer of viruses and bacteria on any surface is a pressing concern today. Money is normally difficult to disinfect. The UV Light Cash Register is designed to make the process fast and easy. It includes an overhead drawer with a 254 nm UV-C light 6 inches away which shines on the money in the bottom drawer when closed. The light is on for 15s, as determined to properly disinfect the money, then turns off. A locking system and a kill switch has been included to ensure user safety when the light is on. Solidworks was used to design the mechanical parts of the register and Multisim was used to build and simulate the timer and circuit for all electrical components. With this design, the UV Light Cash Register can reduce the risk of viruses spreading through physical money.
