Category 2
Multifunctional cardboard storage system invented by Balogh, András:
It is based on two patented
inventions: a special holder for CDs and furniture.
The storage systems are made
of cardboard elements. The basic elements of furniture are fixed by clips. So
it can be installed, disassembled and built up again without special tools or
being an expert. The elements are defining the type of use of the storage
system. These functional elements such as shelves, hangers, boxes etc. can be
changed, replaced, combined later without any change of the outer construction.
Category 1
Fuel Consumption Quantifier,
invented by Berta, Ferenc:
The Invention, called ÖKOLINE™ is
dedicated for general use in Internal Combustion Engines. The fuel flowing trough
two specially modified chambers. In the first one there are an optimal
arrangement of neodymium-iron-boron magnets. Inside the second chamber there
are metal modifiers, which directly affects the characteristics of the fuel.
The right type of ÖKOLINE™ is selected to fit the type of engine, i.e.
petrol, diesel or gas. It has to be installed into the fuel system. This device
decreases fuel consumption and it reduces the pollutants in emission. The power
and the torque of engine will not change.

Construction game invented by Fuchsné
TolnaY, Judit
This (Boyongolo ™) is
a new and exciting construction game. The player can build an endless variety
of tracks with ramps, bridges, jumpers, etc. to carry the fast or slow moving
balls on their way. A skilful selection of slopes and curves will allow the
balls to speed along. This well designed game is safe, non-toxic, attractive
and entertaining for everyone. It develops creative thinking, coordination
skills, a sense of direction, color and form. It is an excellent stimulating
therapy for the players' mind. Learn the rules of physics through play, and
have a lot of fun.
Category 5
Salt mixture of low sodium
content, invented by Gyarmathyné, Nemes Erzsébet dr.
This is a
preparation (VIVEGA™) of
common salt having sodium of 17 % only The salt in the product is supplemented
by different potassium and magnesium compounds, in nearly equal quantities furthermore
by vegetables and spices.
Category 7
Multi purpose wooden tower,
invented by Hegedüs, János:
The tower is built with
laminated wooden elements. It is engeenred with structural integrity and
strenght. It could be built up to 50 meters high. This tower is self
stabilizing without any external support. It is used as communication relay
and/or observation tower. This structure is attractive in its appearance and it
blends into any environmet.
Category 7
Silicate granules from glass
waste (Geofil bubbles™), invented by Hoffmann, László et al.
Geofil bubbles™ are
manufactured via proprietary recycling technique of solid wastes with high
glass contents. Wastes can contain different organic and inorganic components,
other than glass too. Products are lightweight granules of 5-25 mm, primarily
dedicated for heat and sound insulation structures with a special feature of
strongly adhering to gypsum and concrete matrices.
Category 5
Tick removing spoon invented
by KAPILLER, Zoltán dr.:
The ticks spread serious
diseases (tick-encephalitis, tularaemia, Q-fever etc.) The methods for removing
of tick cause these iatrogenic infections. During the removal out the tick
spits saliva-containing microorganisms into the sting-channel due to the
trauma. The ticks can be removed from human and animal skin with the invented
tick removal spoon unhurt, without any trauma. The tick-removing spoon must be
destroyed together with the tick (burned). Advantages: This method of removal
is free from infections, tick-removing spoon is cheap and whoever can use it.
Category 7
Mobilization of soil-bound phosphorous for plants invented by KÁLMÁN, Dániel:
The process applies a special preparation of
microorganisms (bacteria), which shall be mixed into the soil. The result is
that the soil-bound Phosphorus is digested and converted into soluble form, which
can be taken up by the plants.
Category 3
Variable angle drive,
invented by Nádas, Béla dr.:
The variable angle drive is suitable
for the coupling of two shafts with variable drive angel. The velocity of the
driving shafts remains equal. Its construction assures the balancing of the
longitudinal and angle errors.
Advantages of the new procedure are
no cremating coffin needed, the ashes are not mixed with any foreign material
and environmentally safe.
Category 5
Universal ear plug,
invented by Szentiványi, István:
The
universal earplugs are made in five sorts according to the anatomy of ear. The
sizes are being taken into consideration of the proportions of distribution of
the population. The material of earplugs is tissue-friend, elastic
silicone-gum.
They protect the ear from physical effects (for example noise, water).
It is possible to connect hearing aids, phones etc. It is suitable to filter
out noise effects of individual demands, with selective filters of noise
straying.
Category 7
Purification of drinking water, invented by TÖRŐCSIK, Mihály dr.:
This method is based on the use of a new adsorbent. It
is consisting of a synthetic compound and a natural mineral. The drinking water
can be purified from arsenic, lead, cadmium, caesium, strontium, and cerium.
The greatest advantage of this method is that it also eliminates bacteria in
the drinking water.
Category 3
Universal joining module
invented by VÁRNAI, Nándor:
The tube joining mechanism is
placed between the two tubes to be joined, inside their ends. Rotating the joining
piece, that can be found between the tube ends, the two tubes can firmly be
joined and fixed in the required position with later release facility. Using
this joining mechanism nodal elements, T branches, fittings can quickly and
precisely be fitted on the tube ends and fastened without the use of protruding
external components.
All
items are patented in Hungary and patents are applied worldwide by PCT system.
All inventions are prototypes or commercial samples.
