Duo’s RM2 device gets global recognition
By DERRICK VINESH – The STAR – Nation, Tuesday April 13, 2010
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Two Malaysian students have won international recognition for inventing a simple device that removes spilled oil from water — using modified banana trunk fibre.
And the device, that cost them just RM2, could come in handy during multi-million dollar oil spills.
Nurein Ardini Samsuri, 16, and Mas Adil Mas Rosemal Hakim, 18, bagged the first prize (visitor’s category) and a special award at the Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition 2010 held in the Tongzhou district in Beijing, China, between March 17 and 23.
The SM Sains Tun Syed Sheh Shahabudin students received two gold medals, certificates and a Lego set courtesy of Semia, China for their effort.
Their project, called MoBanT Fibre (Green Composite), beat 29 other projects submitted by visiting schools from 10 countries outside China.
There were 1,268 entries from schools within Beijing alone for the China schools category. | |
