CAIRO, Nov. 13 (SEE) – Young Children overcame their age to score at the innovation track, by inventing products that find solutions to many problems. Through science, they turned their brilliant ideas into innovative solutions to many problems in many fields.
In the section of ‘Innovative Kid’ at the ‘Exploratory Center for Science and Technology’ at the Academy for Scientific Research, ‘SEE’ met with some young innovators.
Abdel Rahman Sayed, 15, from Suhag governorate, got the patent for a hydraulic pressure robot that he invented. He said: “I started by thinking at one of the problems our country faces, which is ‘explosives’, so I invented a robot that is remotely controlled and can detonate the explosives, accurately, through hydraulic pressuring.
The robot can enter into small areas as well as the radiated ones.
Sayed explained that the robot could save energy because it does not need any source for continuous energy and that the hydraulic pressuring was used because of its accuracy in detonating explosives. Sayed noted that the device doesn’t cost but only 257 EGP, and is not posing any threat to its user.
On other hand, Yasmin Hisham, 14, from Suhag governorate, found a solution to pain one feels at the vertebral column. She explained that hospitals and private health care centers provide certain curing sessions that cost around 10 EGP but also recommend that the patient would not make any move.
She said that she discovered that certain chemical solution when left in the refrigerator for around 3 hours, turns into ice-like material that would be used with a belt around the body and release a certain temperature which will affect the bones and cause the same impact of the curing sessions. Hisham noted that the belt costs only 2.15 EGP.
A third innovator that ‘SEE’ met is Youssef Ayman, 16. Ayman wasn’t attending as a participant this time. He said he came to explore what others have invented as well as ‘see his chances for the next year’.
Ayman received many prizes in scientific competitions in Egypt and abroad. He invented a smart plane-vessel. A vessel that can fly above water to locate sinking bodies for instance and then return back inside water for rescuing through GBS. The vessel is equipped with a wireless camera and it can be remotely controlled.
He noted that the weight of the vessel is 75 kgm and it can hold a person weighted 300 kgm.
“The vessel can reach a depth of 30 meters under the water and it can fly as a plane for 48 hours in a stable weather,” he said.
Ayman added that the vessel can be used in the underwater explorations as well as volcanoes forecasting, for it can fly at a relative depth inside the holes of volcanic mountains and rocks.
He concluded by saying that the vessels’ production could reach 15,000 EGP for each.
