My project name is "TOLAZO" which derives from two layer zones. It will help cool the donors' organs while carrying. Also, special bacteria producing He-based materials will be used.
My inspiration comes from the temperature of soda. I went the market to buy a soda in a sunny day. "Drink cold" notation is written on the soda bottle; however, it was not cold. Why is not the soda cold enough to drink pleasurably? Then, interesting idea came to my mind about soda. My major was biofilm engineering and my group and I could solve the problem at molecular level.
Our plan was to create genetically engineering bacteria that eats helium based food as reactants and produces substances like liquid helium. As you know, liquid helium provides much cooling. After that, we observed that our resultant substance could create layers, in other words biofilm.
I thought that it should be two layers for cooling the soda; first layer for bacterial cooling system and other including airless area to protect bacteria from heating. When I considered the costs of the system, there was no need to fridge and vehicles.
If I compared normal and „TOLAZO‟ bottles, latter one was preferable in the long run because it would diminish the cost of electricity for cooling. Yet, costs for only one soda were very prohibitive and anyone desired to purchase it.
My group members said that "TOLAZO" project can be used for covering boxes of organ transplantation. I agreed this idea because it made sense. People needing the organs could afford the process and did not want to jeopardize. Nothing is more important than human health.
Finally, we created special transplantation boxes with bacteria keeping organs cold long time. Then, we turned the corner with my group.
