Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood High School Chemistry/Physic Teacher Lillian Labowsky, the RHS InvenTeam, and their mentors co-authored a paper that was published in the ACS Journal of Chemical Education. The article highlights their Lemelson-MIT invention journey. Mr. Edwin Marreno, the Lemelson-MIT Officer, will visit the Applied Engineering Club this February.
The RHS Solar Aqua Tech Team of 2021 was selected as one of thirteen 2021 LMIT InvenTeams grant recipients. As a result, the Applied Engineering Club has been piloting the LMIT program for the past four years.
Ridgewood High School was awarded a Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam grant in the amount of $8500.00 to create a “Solar Aqua Tech” portable reusable water-sanitizing bottle. Ridgewood High School was one of 13 high schools nationwide to be selected as an InvenTeam that year.
Dr. Hsuan Lillian Labowsky, science teacher and Mr. John Wohner, engineering teacher at Ridgewood High School initiated the InvenTeam application process last spring and worked with the students over the summer to prepare the final proposal. A prestigious panel of judges composed of educators, researchers, staff and alumni from MIT, as well as representatives from industry and former Lemelson-MIT Award winners, assembled virtually and selected Ridgewood High School as one of this year’s InvenTeam grantees.
In the Solar Aqua Tech bottle, water and oxygen will generate hydrogen peroxide on-demand to sanitize water when energized by solar power. The heart of the invention is to design a system around a unique catalyst-coated electrode to produce hydrogen peroxide, known to eliminate waterborne pathogens. This bottle will benefit hiker/campers and anyone in need of clean water. The Solar Aqua technology can potentially be scaled up for use in large water treatment facilities to benefit entire communities.
