GraFX Cipher is a cipher in which text can be encrypted. We use the basic idea that all transformations made to a point on the Cartesian plane can be reversed in order to revert back to the…
Systems Software
The project is a tool for simulating a simplified version of an 8-bit computer processor and how data moves inside one. This open source tool is built with Processing 3 and can be compiled i…
Biochemistry
We asked ourselves what the influence of citric acid on bacterial growth would be and at which concentration the solution would be lethal to a certain bacterium. We assumed that Escherichia…

This research project is a study into measures to reduce the transmission of bacteria from person-to-person. This has become an important policy goal due to the rise in bacteria that are res…
Our project is the development of a low-cost human-following car, as we are interested in drones. We decided not to use GPS, as it is already implemented as ‘following technique’ in many com…
The purpose of this work is to make a dye-sensitized solar cell with natural and synthetic dyes. The cell is usually made out of a platinum-covered cathode, which we intend to replace by a c…
Purpose of the experiment ? The overall aim of our project was to find an alternative to a car’s windshield wipers. Our system is powered by high-speed air and is based on the following prin…
