This project is a multiyear study undertaken over 3 years (’20, ’21, ’22), encompassing the opinions of over 2,500 students and 220 teachers on the impact of secondary school on students’ social development, physical health and mental wellbeing and...
Gaming Accessibility, 3D printed adaptive gaming controller accessory for individuals with disabilities
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common (3:1000) childhood movement disorder. Gaming can help integrate individuals with disabilities into a community, but those with CP struggle with gaming due to limited hand function and fine motor coordination. Objectives:...
Design of traction inverter with SiC semiconductors
- September 1, 2023
- Engineering, Hungary
The rising cost of electric energy has presented significant challenges to transportation companies. To avoid operating at a loss, this may lead to them increasing fares, reducing services or route cancellations. The propulsion system is the most important component...
Thermography-based driver assistance system
We have developed a software and device that can reliably detect and alert drivers of potential hazards, such as animals or people on the road or roadside, beyond braking distance, even under poor visibility conditions. We have achieved this...
Development and evaluation of a hybrid solar-thermoelectric power generation system in a marine environment and usage of hydrodynamic propulsion
- September 1, 2023
- Engineering, Greece
In this study, a Hybrid-Solar-Thermoelectric with Magneto-Hydrodynamic Propulsion (HSTM) system that provides an innovative solution for sustainable energy production and eco-friendly transportation in maritime environments, is proposed. The hybrid energy harvesting system features a monocrystalline solar panel and a...
An application for the prevention of road accidents
The object of the Project is the construction of an Android mobile application, where traffic accidents will be recorded easily by the police via GPS to inform the citizens in real time. The purpose is to mark the dangerous...
Modelling of a population during climate change
Climate change constitutes a selective pressure on populations because increasing temperatures result in a selective advantage or disadvantage for certain individuals depending on their genetic predisposition.We wrote a program to simulate such developments using the example of the reproductive...
Thermally triggered motion of pyrolytic graphite on a magnet array
When hydrocarbon is heated to its decomposition temperature pyrolytic graphite can be crystalized in ordered layers. This material has an unusual characteristic. It can levitate above a chequerboard arrangement of magnets due to its diamagnetic property. We delved into...
Rekari – the intuitive platform for diverse drone operations
- September 1, 2023
- Engineering, Germany
The areas of application for drones seem almost unlimited. However, when it comes to using such systems in specific use cases, there are often problems in terms of practical application. Use of the systems may be some-what less appealing...
