In this project, the concept of autonomous technologies was adopted. This concept used an Arduino microcontroller (Arduino, Turin IT) and Arduino IDE software to build and program a model vehicle, Tassi Dynamics, equipped with sensors, motors and other electronic parts. The project compared the braking distance of this modeled autonomous vehicle to a manually controlled one. The effect of speed on the braking distance was also investigated.

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that involves alternating periods of fasting and eating, focusing on when you eat rather than what you eat. The focus of the project includes the function and effects of intermittent fasting on the human body and a hypothetical study to understand whether the fasting period helps to prevent disorders and diseases.

The ability to predict the future pH levels, total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, and soil moisture levels is essential to activities that affect or rely on water pollution and soil hydration. Machine learning models that predict water and soil quality already exist; however, a compact device that can both retrieve data and provide real-time predictions of water quality and soil hydration is yet to be made.

The Archimedes Death ray is seen as one of the earliest forms of harnessing the sun’s energy and using it as a weapon. The Death Ray is made up of a series of large concave mirrors which are positioned to focus the sun’s rays onto a single focal point. The goal of this project was to evaluate if the principle behind the Archimedes Death ray was plausible using a miniaturized experimental setup.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of vaping juice and cigarette butts on the chemical composition of lake water and the potential hazards imposed on lake water ecosystems. In doing this, this study seeks to determine the effects on humans through the extrapolation of collected data. This is important as drinking water tainted with chemicals and heavy metals can result in disastrous public health consequences.

There are several devices aimed to assist dementia patients with adhering to medication, yet they can still cause the risk of non-adherence to medication or incorrect doses being taken. While some lack user-friendly designs, others are not designed with any safety guards. Many of the products on the market have complex and unsafe designs for patients to use and can be a challenge for loved ones to assist with often busy schedules. In solution to this, the Pill Smart is an automatic pill dispenser designed with several adaptive safety features which aim to increase adherence to medication and remove stress from a caregiver.
