I conceived the idea of the system when working on my master's degree project in electric engineering. It is a portable system that has a size of a shoe's box.With the help of a flexible solar panel, the system generates electricity at low tension [12V] and stocks it in rechargeable batteries. The produced energy is used to make the electronic devices function.For instance, when you visit a beach, you display the panel solar to the sun, connect your radio to the system and the power is on. This system is not commercial yet.

HYBRID COMBUSTIBLE BATTERY SYSTEM FOR THE ELECTRICAL CARS

I conceived the hybrid system when undergoing my sciences degree program in Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Thomas Stuart. The way it works is that once this system is integrated to electrical car, the gaseous hydrogen used in combustible battery provides the energy to the car. This system does not pollute the environment because the only crap here is water. We integrated a station that uses solar energy / photovoltaic [6kw] solar panels to supply necessary energy and transform water into hydrogen and oxygen. The supplied hydrogen is stocked in a gaseous tank and then distributed through hydrogen pump.

FOUR REASONS EXPLAIN THIS SUCCESS:

- The support from my husband, kids and my christian faith.

-My intellectual abilities.

-Perseverance and motivation; when I work on something or project, I invest 150% of my energy in it. Also, I am a naturally competitive person and my goal is to always excel in whatever I do...If I don't understand something, I don't surrender; I search through libraries, internet, speak with the experts until I get it.

-And finally, the severity of my dissertation's Director and the easy access to many resources [books, internet...] helped a lot...And I can't forget my father-a pillar of support- who had always encourage me to cultivate intellectual abilities and search for knowledge.
