Rice University parlays sun's saving grace into autoclaveHouston TX (SPX) May 04, 2011 Rice University senior engineering students are using the sun to power an autoclave that sterilizes medical instruments and help solve a long-standing health issue for developing countries. The student's used Capteur Soleil, a device created decades ago by French inventor Jean Boubour to capture the energy of the sun in places where electricity - or fuel of any kind - is hard to get. In attaching an insulated box containing the autoclave, the students transform the device into a potential lifesave ... read more |
