A MONMOUTH school girl whose eco-friendly invention won a national engineering competition has now launched her product into the marketplace.

Lisa Davies designed Xorbit – a car dehumidifier with a difference – to enter into an annual science contest at Haberdashers’ Monmouth School for Girls in 2015.

The 15-year-old went on to beat around 200 finalists from across the UK to become Junior Engineer of the Year at the Big Bang Fair, hosted at Birmingham’s NEC.

And this week Xorbit finally went on sale at an exclusive location.

Lisa said: “My dad owns a garage, HJ Davies & Son in Abergavenny, and I’ve got a small corner dedicated to Xorbit. I’m really happy with it, it’s so exciting.

“Customers were lovely when I assembled the display, lots of them were asking me what it was.

“I can’t believe it’s happening. I’ve put a lot into it.”

Xorbit is currently on sale at an introductory price of £10, a discount of £2.99 from the full cost.

Lisa invested in a laser cutter with her Big Bang prize fund to help her make the product’s components consistently accurate.

The dehumidifier, which also acts as an air freshener, fits neatly into car cup-holders.

Lisa will be manning a Xorbit stand at the Christmas gift market in Abergavenny on December 15 and 20.
