A high-pressure gas storage tank made from composite materials, including carbon fiber, resin, and plastic, is designed for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) or hydrogen. This type of tank is classified as a Type IV high-pressure vessel. In this research, it is designed to operate at a pressure of 250 bar for the transportation of compressed natural gas.
การบรรจุก๊าซที่ความดันสูงต้องใช้บรรจุภัณฑ์ที่มีความแข็งแรง การใช้ถังที่ผลิตจากโลหะถูกนำมาใช้ในช่วงแรกๆ แต่ปัญหาที่ตามมาคือน้ำหนักมากทำให้สิ้นเปลืองเชื้อเพลิงในกรณีที่นำไปติดตั้งบนยานพาหนะ จึงเกิดการพัฒนาถังความดันที่พัฒนาจากวัสดุประกอบขึ้นซึ่งจะช่วยลดน้ำหนักของบรรจุภัณฑ์และการกัดกร่อนเกิดขึ้นน้อย

Koh Tao, a picturesque island in Thailand, is famous for its breathtaking coral reefs and vibrant marine life, attracting diving enthusiasts from all over the world. Despite its natural beauty, the island currently lacks innovative accommodations that enhance the visitor experience and promote environmental sustainability. This project proposes the development of a unique four-star floating resort with underwater villas, designed to offer an extraordinary lodging experience that fosters a deeper connection with the marine environment. By incorporating sustainable practices into the resort's design and operations, the project addresses the growing demand for eco-friendly tourism in the region. The floating resort concept aims not only to provide guests with an immersive experience but also to raise awareness about marine conservation. Through eco-friendly design and operations, the resort seeks to set a benchmark for sustainable tourism in Koh Tao, showcasing how accommodations can align with environmental stewardship, benefiting both the local ecosystem and tourism.

Soil is home to a diverse array of living organisms that interact within a complex food web, facilitating energy and nutrient cycling essential for sustaining life above ground. Among these organisms, soil microbes play a crucial role in supporting plant growth. Beneficial microorganisms enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure by increasing porosity, and strengthen plant resistance to diseases. Conversely, harmful microorganisms, such as plant pathogens, can hinder plant growth and reduce crop yields when present in high concentrations. Neutral microorganisms, which naturally inhabit the soil, contribute to the soil ecosystem without directly impacting plants. A single teaspoon of soil contains over a billion microorganisms, yet only about 1% of them can be cultured in laboratory conditions. This highlights soil as one of the richest reservoirs of microbial diversity on Earth.

Stirling engine is the external heated engine that heat is sup-plied externally to the heater part of the engine. Thus, Stirling cycle engine can be employed with various sources of renewable energy such as biomass, biofuel, solar energy, geothermal energy, recovery heat, and waste. The integration of gasifier, burner, and heat engine as a power system offers more fuel choices of each local area with potential resources resulting independent from shortage and cost fluctuation of fossil fuel. This research aims to investigate the integration of the Stirling engine with a wood pellet gasifier for electric power generation. Biomass can be controlled to have continuously combustion with ultra-low toxic emission. Stirling engine, therefore, is a promising alternative in small-scale-electricity production. Even though many biomass-powered Stirling engines were successfully constructed and marketed but these engines and the use of biomass resources as fuel for power generation are quite new concepts in some developing countries. Especially, the capital cost of this engine is high and unaffordable for installation compared to other power systems. Therefore, this research aims to the study attractive and feasibility of the compact Stirling engine with green energy.
