Global Nominee
The Challenge | Dust Yourself Off
The Apollo missions showed us that lunar dust not only clung to everything and was impossible to fully remove, but it was also dangerous to humans and damaging to spacecraft systems. Your challenge is to develop a way to detect, map, and mitigate lunar dust to reduce the effects on astronauts or spacecraft interior systems.
Dust busting device
The Dust busting device is a device made to measure the amount and hardness of the dust inside the spaceship while absorbing it into a semi batch reactor where it reacts with a weak acid to power a fuel cell.
Our system is a detector and a electricity generator in the same time.
first the detectror will attract the dust particles using magnetic field the a cylinder will compress the particles and a cathode with anode plates will conduct current through the particle so we can know the conductivity of the material then we can know the amount.In addition the system have diiferent types of anodes to detect the hardness of the dust.
After the detection process we will react "Reaction" the attracted dust with acid to generate hydrogen which will give the fuel for our fuel cell which will generate for us electricity.
