Functionalities

If you search for oil spill damages on google, you will certainly get anxious knowing the horrible harm it is doing to our environment. The situation gets worse when the oil spill occurs due to explosion on oil fields situated in sea surfaces where removing the oils become almost impossible. System for effectively combating oil slick has been designed to reinforce maritime emergency fighters to face massive oil spill situations. Several units of this system are envisioned to be stored in airports near the seashore that can be dropped in the desired spot through aircrafts. As soon as the system hits the oil surface, a symmetric system of tubes gets radically inflated under water through a gas cartridge. A finely woven net gets stretched up by the tubes and bonds oil without any chemicals. Finally, these systems can be retrieved by boats by hitching the ring like binding. Each system can cover up to 2000 square meter area under any weather condition. To make it even more functional, radar reflectors and GPS have been incorporated with the system for easy locating and ultrasonic sounds to keep seabirds away.

Traffic lights are one of the most overlooked things in our everyday life which I guess would left behind forever unless Cheng Tsung envisioned this energy efficient and eco-friendly traffic light concept that features innovative color-changing LED technology instead of existing incandescent bulbs. This will enable even the visually impaired or color blind people to read the traffic lights through strong visual sense created by only one light. Rather than taking electricity from the power grid, this concept features solar panel on the surface through which it accumulates solar energy which will save around 1 billion degrees of electricity every year.
