The ‘ATOM H2’ project by undergraduate engineering students wins national James Dyson Award
The James Dyson National Design Award 2024 has been awarded this year to a group of students from Elisava, who have developed ATOM H2, a solution that converts excess renewable energy into hydrogen and stores it safely in a solid state, thus guaranteeing a reliable subsequent supply.
ATOM is a startup that solves energy storage problems. Our technology converts excess energy into hydrogen and stores it safely in a solid state using metal hydrides.
In addition, the international James Dyson Awards have nominated one more year other projects of Elisava students. Four of them are projects of the Master in Product Design and Development, which propose new medical devices in collaboration with the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. They are the following:
An innovative device designed to provide easy, comfortable and safe cleaning and sterilization of menstrual cups, regardless of the situation or context in which the person is.
The world’s first tubeless CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device to treat people with sleep apnea. Because it is designed and integrated into the mask, it eliminates the current bulky machinery to offer greater comfort and freedom.
Specially designed for patients in vulnerable situations to facilitate their mobility. The new design ensures stability, improves safety, promotes patient mobilization and reduces the risk of falls.
Tukit humanizes the process and the patient’s environment with, providing an improved and more sustainable experience during the home dialysis process.
Among the other nominees are numerous projects from the Bachelor in Industrial Design Engineering. They are as follows:
ATOM is a startup that solves energy storage problems. Our technology converts excess energy into hydrogen and stores it safely in solid state using metal hydrides.
Modular running shoes designed to adapt to various terrains and intensity. These shoes allow users to replace components according to their needs, ensuring optimal performance and customization.
Design and development of a modular and customizable paddle racket that is committed to sustainability, thanks to the properties of reticular structures and additive manufacturing technologies.
Innovative and sustainable design with efficient production using recyclable materials. These lamps offer a contemporary and environmentally friendly solution that meets current market demands.
Transtibial prosthesis with dynamic adaptation system using functional geometric structures, sensory technology and parameterization algorithm to prevent the formation of ulcers on the residual limb.
Neonatal incubator that improves care technology, alleviating economic and emotional burdens. Reduces the duration of medical care, allowing parents to focus on the newborn’s well-being.
We designed and developed the interior of a capsule for this high-speed transport. The result is a practical and intuitive, innovative and comfortable travel experience.
Two intelligent lamps for bedside tables that connect people at a distance. Using presence sensors, they exchange data that translates into light patterns.
