The 18th Moscow Russia Archimedes International Invention Exhibition and Invention Contest took place from April 2nd to 5th and attracted more than 700 entries from 17 countries. The 2 entries from YunTech were granted 1 gold and 1 silver medal respectively. The gold medal invention, “Applications of Poly (3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) Derivatives-Based Cathodic Polymers in High-Contrast and High-Efficiency Electrochromic Devices,” won another special award, thus showing the creativeness of YunTech.

 

“Applications of Poly (3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) Derivatives-Based Cathodic Polymers in High-Contrast and High-Efficiency Electrochromic Devices” was invented by student Huang Chen-yu under the instruction of Assistant Professor Wu Tzi-yi from the Department of Chemical Engineering. With this device, you only need to click a switch to adjust the color and change the light permeability of your home windows, making your house seem to have window films of different colors which in fact block light and heat from entering your house. The change helps a family save energy by decreasing reliance on air-conditioners. Furthermore, you don’t need to use a lot of electrical power to operate the device. Due to the advantages of light power and high-contrast in optics which help save energy, the invention won another special award at the contest.

 

The silver medal invention, “Tree of Glory —Digital Art Space Light,” was invented by student Liao Pei-yu under the instruction of Assistant Professor Liu Chen-yuan from the Department of Visual Communication. Depending on distance and the speed of pedestrians, the colors and brightness of the light changes and pedestrians receive audio feedback at the same time. With changing colors, this interactive light allows pedestrians to enjoy different emotions in a quiet and lonely space.
