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 ... -
Health Monitoring Through Smart Wheelchairs
(2015-02-01)Technology can help doctors provide a more efficient medical care to their patients which can often mean the difference between life and death, and give modern medicine control over factors that were previously hard or ... -
How to Avoid Structural, Corrosion, and Deterioration Disasters in Water Dams
(2014-01-19)Water dams are systems with large destructive forces that can lead to a substantial amount of destruction. The poster describes the situation of the problem. In addition, it summarizes the major problems that cause dam ... -
Human and Robot Interaction in High Rise Construction
(2016-11)All accidents that happened during roof, ladder, and scaffolding works accounted for 55% of all the construction industry accidents. Human behavior is a contributing factor in approximately 80% of the accidents in construction ... -
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 ... -
Hybrid Tractors
(2014-01-19)Our team performed an in depth research on this topic to identify the existing problems of the diesel fuel tractors. Manufacturing companies did not think of changing the conventional tractors as they have neglected the ... -
Hydroelectric Dams
(2015-02-01)Energy consumption has increased exponentially since the advent of electricity. To satisfy consumer needs, there needs to come an increase in production of energy. Seeing as the earth is covered in approximately 70% water ... -
Hydrogen Fueled Home Generators
(2016-11)Burning fossil fuel, such as coal, oil and natural gases contribute to pollution and global warming due to the emission of carbon dioxide. 33% of green house emissions are due to electricity generation, which is the highest ... -
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 ... -
Hydrogen fusion for sustainable energy
(2016-11)The universal demand for energy is increasing in modern society. We rely on energy for almost in everything in our lives.This energy may be generated from fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels are insufficient and harmful ... -
Hydrogen: The Future Fuel
(2016-11)The world consumes a total of 94 million barrels of oil per day. The global demand for oil is increasing exponentially while the remaining supply has been decreasing at a faster rate as shown in Figure 1. Burning of fossil ... -
Hyperloops: The Future of Transport
(2019-05)Hyperloops are floating pods enclosed within vacuum tubes. Current modes of transportation need to be optimized due to transit time, environmental issues, and safety concerns. Advantages of hyperloops: can revolutionize ... -
Ideal Safe Building
(2015-02-01)Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, and excessive winds are increasing worldwide. Areas on the north coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) such as Ras alKhaimah and Fujairah, in addition to some parts ... -
Implementation of the Hyperloop in the U.A.E. Eilin
(2016-11)The rapid increase in the UAE population has increased the need of transportation which results in Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions . Therefore, this may lead to devastating results if there was no transportation system that ... -
Implemting the maglev train among the UAE, KSA and Qatar
(2014-01-19)Implementing a maglev train among the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia involves tackling engineering problems of various disciplines. Since our team consists of members with chemical, mechanical ... -
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 ... -
Improvements on Kidney Dialysis Treatment
(2014-01-19)The percentage of people suffering from kidney related diseases is alarmingly increasing. The current treatment for such diseases is the kidney dialysis that is proven to be an impractical solution for the problem. Thus, ... -
Improving the Efficiency of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
(2014-07-22)Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are robotic vehicles that function without direct human monitoring. Their main purpose is to collect data, record 3D maps of surrounding underwater environment and conduct survey ...
