Freshwater scarcity is a global crisis due to limited accessible freshwater resources and rising demand. Seawater desalination is a key solution but is energy-intensive and reliant on fossil fuels, leading to high costs and environmental impacts. This study aims to investigate the use of solar thermal energy from an evacuated tube collector for freshwater production via evaporation and condensation. The focus is on analyzing system efficiency by comparing freshwater yield with energy input. The findings may contribute to the development of sustainable desalination technologies suitable for freshwater-scarce regions.
ปัจจุบันโลกปกคลุมด้วยน้ำถึง 70% ของพื้นที่ทั้งหมด แต่มีทรัพยากรน้ำที่เป็นน้ำจืด (fresh water) ที่สามารถใช้อุปโภค บริโภคได้เพียง 3% ประกอบกับจำนวนประชากรที่เพิ่มสูงขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่อง จึงเกิดวิกฤตการขาดแคลนน้ำ การแยกเกลือออกจากน้ำทะเลเป็นแนวทางสำคัญในการแก้ไขปัญหานี้ โดยงานวิจัยของเรามุ่งพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีแยกเกลือออกจากน้ำทะเลโดยใช้พลังงานแสงอาทิตย์ ผ่านระบบท่อสุญญากาศ (ETSC) เพื่อลดต้นทุน พึ่งพาพลังงานสะอาด และเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพการผลิตน้ำจืด โดยเฉพาะในพื้นที่แห้งแล้งที่ขาดแคลนน้ำ

The design of a 50-rai public park in the Lat Krabang district of Bangkok aims to provide a recreational space for urban residents in Lat Krabang and nearby areas. The focus is on user groups such as students, university students, and working individuals, incorporating the concept of Universal Design to ensure that everyone in society can use the space equally. However, there is still an emphasis on creating active recreational areas to meet the sports and exercise needs of students, university students, and working individuals. The design of the Lat Krabang area, which is a low-lying region resembling a basin, includes features for water retention, water management, and water treatment for use within the park. The area will focus on exercise, sports, running, walking, relaxation, and educational garden spaces.

This project aims to develop a conceptual prototype of a weapon aiming system that simulates an anti-aircraft gun. Utilizing an optical camera, the system detects moving objects and calculates their trajectories in real time. The results are then used to control a motorized laser pointer with two degrees of freedom (DoF) of rotation, enabling it to aim at the predicted position of the target. Our system is built on the Raspberry Pi platform, employing machine vision software. The object motion tracking functionality was developed using the OpenCV library, based on color detection algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the system successfully detects the movement of a tennis ball at a rate of 30 frames per second (fps). The current phase involves designing and integratively testing the mechanical system for precise laser pointer position control. This project exemplifies the integration of knowledge in electronics (computer programming) and mechanical engineering (motor control).
