GCC Domestic Wastewater Treatment and Microbial Fuel Cells
(2014-07-22)Water resources are scarce across the gulf region, however water consumption is very high compared to other countries across the world. Also, waste-water production rate is increasing with the increasing water consumption ... -
Green and Smart Buildings
(2014-01-19)The project talks about ways that can be implemented in buildings to make them green and smart. The climate of the UAE is the climate that the project bases its research on. The solutions provided were chosen to be up to ... -
Green Ships
(2014-01-19)Our EMPD topic discusses how wind turbines and solar panels can both be installed on ships, in order to conserve the fuel consumed and reduce the subsequent harmful emissions. The implantation of this solution leads to ... -
Grey: A New Shade of Green
(2015-02-01)In this project, we have designed and created a system that can re-use grey water that is being wasted in buildings, which will be effective in countries such as United Arab Emirates due to their high water consumption. ... -
Harvesting Energy From Footsteps
(2014-07-22)The UAE is currently undergoing industrialization which increases demand for energy and thus increases the usage of fossil fuels to cover this increasing demand for energy. Fossil fuels are limited and gradually depleting, ... -
Harvesting Wind and Solar Energy for Off-Grid Applications in the UAE
(2014-01-05)There is a shortage of electricity in remote areas in the UAE which are away from the grid. Many people in remote locations are relying on diesel generators to meet their power demands. Extending the national electricity ... -
Hybrid Car Efficiency Improvement
(2014-01-19)Our project is about increasing the efficiency of hybrid cars. Hybrid cars operate using two systems, the Internal Combustion System (ICS) and the Electric System (ES) and since they depend more on the ICS, more polluting ... -
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
(2014-01-19)The problems related to the generation of electricity to fuel vehicles are three-fold. Firstly, conventional vehicles are major contributors to pollution due to the combustion of petroleum which is leading to the depletion ... -
Hydrogen Fueled Vehicles
(2014-01-19)The future of energy once fossil fuels run out is in the hands of renewable sources. Our project is about Hydrogen powered vehicles and how hydrogen can be used viably as a fuel in cars. The project focuses on the problems ... -
Improved Sewage Treatment
(2014-07-22)The increasing population of recent decades and the development of industry has generated significant waste materials. Sewage is mainly a liquid waste containing some solids, produced by humans: feces, urine, laundry waste ... -
Independent Sustainable City
(2015-02-01)Nowadays, cities are mostly relying on non-renewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency estimates that in 2011, 81.2% of the world’s primary sources of energy came from fossil fuels. -
Integrating Wind Turbines in Skyscrapers
(2014-07-22)It is no secret that the world is suffering from an energy crisis as fossil fuels and natural resources are near depletion. Renewable source of energy have been receiving increased attention over recent years. -
Light Emitting Concrete (LEC)
(2014-07-22)Currently, the world recognizes concrete as just a dull, grey building material. However, concrete has the potential to cater to different functions as well. -
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)
(2015-02-01)Depletion of fossil fuels and gasoline, and their effect on the global climate, necessitate the need for an alternative source of energy. Approximately 170,000 TW of solar radiation fall on the earth’s surface and is not ... -
Optimization of Hybrid Electric Vehicle Performance and Range Through Battery Enhancements
(2015-02-01)Due to rising fuel costs and increasing environmental awareness, there is currently an increasing trend of using hybrid electric cars instead of regular internal combustion engine vehicles. Widespread adoption of hybrid ... -
Photovoltaic Nano-Crystal Energy Generation
(2014-01-19)Since larger, more ecofriendly energy accumulation is needed to sustain the world’s current energy outflow, the objective of this report is to examine the efficiency and ecological healthiness of photovoltaic nanotechnology ... -
Piezoelectric Systems for Sheikh Zayed Road
(2014-07-22)UAE was ranked as 37 worldwide according to the amount of electricity consumption with an annual consumption of 70.58 billion KWh .The total cost of producing that amount of electricity has been estimated to be 11.33 billion ... -
Power with Every Step
(2014-07-22)Satisfying the needs for clean energy by utilizing human footsteps. -
Public Transportation Buses Powered By Cooking Oil
(2014-07-22)Greenhouse gases are in a continuous rise and are destroying the environment and public transportation buses contribute dramatically and are in an interrupted increase. Moreover, the world trend has been moving towards a ... -
