24 Gold medals for Romania at Geneva Exhibition for Inventions- 24 de medale din aur pt Romania la Expozitia de Inventii de la Geneva

The Romanian delegation won 24 gold, 18 silver and 7 bronze me­dals, plus 20 special awards at the 39th edition of the Interna­tional Exhi­bition of Inventions of Geneva, the National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS) an­nounces, quoted by HotNews.

Romania a obtinut 24 de medalii de aur, 18 medalii de argint si 7 de bronz la Salonul de Inventii de la Geneva. Toate cele 49 de inventii romanesti au fost medaliate la Geneva.

Printre inventiile romanilor se regaseste un dispozitiv de reducere a consumului de combustibil la automobile, un procedeu inovativ de tratare a acneei, patul rabatabil prevazut cu un sistem ce permite o utilizare indelungata, precum si un echipament de drenaj in cazul hemoragiilor ventriculelor.

Ro­mania attended the Geneva exhibition on April 6-10, with 49 inventions, of which 40were financed and displayed under the aegis of ANCS, while the other 9 were financed by inventors themsel­ves, or by various R&D units. One of the special awards, with applicability in medicine, was granted to Teodora Tihan, Ingrid Ionescu, Aurelia Meghea and Ioana Deme­trescu for their “Method of obtaining polymeric films for medicine.”

Medal for engine which saves fuel in heat
The car engineer Corneliu Birtok-Baneasa won the bronze medal in the 2011 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions, for inventing a device which boosts the power of a car engine, while reducing fuel consumption, on hot days, Realitatea.net reports. The Romanian’s invention is called “integrated deflector for thermal radiation issued by internal combustion engines”. The device forces the air current which goes through a car radiator to adopt a descending trajectory, thus preventing its access to the engine compartment. Thus, the car’s intake manifold and air filter are protected from overheating, particularly on hot summer days. “The de­flector comes in handy in summer, as it maintains a high air density, preventing overheating and power losses. The use of the deflector boosts the engine’s power and reduces fuel consumption,” Birtok-Baneasa stated.
