P2E: Plastic-to-Electricity via Plastic-Fed Microbial Fuel Cells (P-MFCs)

Plastic waste and non-renewable energy production represent two of the most pressing global challenges. This project introduces P2E (Plastic-to-Electricity), a novel system that utilizes plastic-fed microbial fuel cells (P-MFCs) to simultaneously degrade plastic waste and generate carbon-neutral electrical energy.

Unlike conventional waste-to-energy technologies that rely on high-temperature thermochemical processes,

Eco Green Ball

The Eco Green Ball initiative is inspired by the need to bridge the gap between environmental waste and public recreation. It addresses the issue of ; outdoor foosball tables in UAE parks—rendered useless when equipment is lost (BALL)—by turning fallen leaves into a resource. Inspired by the resilience of local trees like the Ghaf,

AutoPrint: An Intelligent Automated Additive Manufacturing System

Automation has become the driving force behind modern manufacturing by improving productivity, consistency, and operational efficiency. While additive manufacturing has revolutionized rapid prototyping and customized production, the printing process still depends heavily on manual decision-making. Users are required to prepare the model, optimize printing parameters, monitor the print continuously, and respond to failures.

PHOENIX-UAV: Self-Healing Composite Airframe for Multi-Impact Survivability

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become indispensable tools in defense, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, logistics, and environmental monitoring. Despite their growing adoption, one of the major limitations of current UAV systems is their vulnerability to crash-induced structural damage. Hard landings, collisions with obstacles, and repeated operational impacts can cause cracks, delamination, fiber breakage,

STV™ Platform for Hydrogen-Ready Advanced Combustion and Modular Propulsion

The complexity, cost, and material temperature limits of turbine hot-section hardware constrain modern aircraft propulsion. The Short-Stroke Valve (STV™) platform proposes a different architecture from conventional turbine engines. Modular high-boost internal-combustion units generate high-temperature, high-pressure gas that expands directly through a propulsive nozzle to produce thrust. By bypassing high-temperature turbine conversion,

Lepa Wiran AI: Satellite-Powered Predictive Risk Forecasting for Electric Power Distribution Networks

Electric utility companies in developing regions lose millions of dollars due to unplanned power outages. Particularly, in Honduras only, energy losses reach 38%, which are among the highest in Central America, with unscheduled outages accounting for nearly 30% of the total offline time. Currently, in Honduras and neighboring regions the outages are addressed in a reactive manner,

SATOK: Low-Speed Electric Generator for Direct Energy Conversion

The SATOK low-speed electric generator addresses a fundamental limitation of conventional power generation: the need for high rotational speeds and complex mechanical transmissions (gearboxes, multipliers) to produce electricity efficiently. This requirement increases system complexity, cost, energy losses, and maintenance, especially in renewable and distributed energy systems.

SATOK introduces a different approach.
