After a meticulous process, the winner of this year’s Chiang Chen Industrial Charity Foundation Student Project Competition went to the Department of Engineering, IVE (Chai Wan). Yeung Man-tai, the champion of the competition, aimed to introduce a floating ball mechanism by using an axial fan. By applying the theory of airflow mechanics, it could control the airflow to lift up and change the direction of a floating ball. The use of a micro-controller in programming also allows a more flexible control of airflow.
The flowing mechanism can be applied to shooting games and baseball training devices. Mr Yeung’s project has received positive comments from the judges, which makes him a deserved champion.
