In Search of Reduced Simulation Times The EcoPot project aims to identify more efficient container geometries for cooking food on open fires with gathered wood, as one billion people on earth still cook. To achieve this, certain assumptions are made to generate geometric models in CAD format. We hope to explore heat transfer fins, pot […]

En busca de reducción de tiempos de simulación El proyecto EcoPot tiene como objetivo encontrar geometrías de recipientes más eficientes para cocinar con fuego de leña, previamente recolectada, al aire libre, como aún lo hacen mil millones de personas en el mundo. Para ello, se parte de ciertas suposiciones que permiten generar modelos geométricos en

July 20, 2025 When first beginning their positions with Public Invention, volunteers are advised that the original commitment is five to six hours per week for a period of six months. This allows for volunteers to truly engage with a project, learn new skills, and immerse themselves in the organization without making a long term
Oxygen is a miracle drug for many conditions, and is absolutely essential for serious surgeries. Kids Operating Room (KidsOR) (https://www.kidsor.org/) installs pediatric surgical theaters in the poorest countries of the world. Recently, they installed their 101st operating room, and have now performed 722,401 pediatric surgeries. Generally, these operating rooms use either bottled oxygen or pressure-swing
The Development of a Wi-fi Enabled, Wireless Medical Alarm Device One of Public Invention’s most prominent projects, the General Purpose Alarm Device, or GPAD, which was recently published in HardwareX, has developed into a wireless version called the Krake. Both versions aim to be used in a medical setting as a peripheral annunciator, connecting to
You Don’t Have to be an Engineer to be a Public Inventor Engineering skills are useful in many invention projects, but many of the people already working on Public Invention teams do not have an engineering background. Part of the rationale for Public Invention is that technical developments in the last couple of decades (including
