In light of the spread of the Corona virus in Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank, and the recording of dozens of infections, the two brothers, Moufid and Yazid Alawneh, from the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank, who recently graduated from the College of Engineering Sciences at Khadouri University, took it upon themselves to find an innovative solution to protect Palestinian citizens from the virus outbreak, With personal efforts.

Within the engineering group workshop, which is run by the two brothers in the village of Jaba, south of Jenin, the engineers spent three continuous days devising and developing the Turbo sterilization device, to shorten the time, effort, and material costs to relief the citizens of Jenin and the neighboring towns.

Self-innovation

Engineer Yazid Alawneh said to “Emirates Today”: “We got the idea after the outbreak of the virus in the villages of the West Bank, and we watched the suffering of citizens in the village of Jaba to take the necessary sterilization and prevention measures, in light of the weak capabilities available,” and he adds: “My brother and I were determined to invest in a field Our study and work to provide assistance to citizens. ”

Pointing out that the innovative turbo device distributes sterilization material, and provides it with impetus by means of a pneumatic propulsion system, to spray it on the surfaces in a uniform and complete manner, and obtain a high degree of sterilization. The costs of innovation and development of the turbo sterilizer amounted to 5,000 shekels (equivalent to approximately 5,000 dirhams), with which the two brothers provided for their personal expenses, with the support of the Municipal Emergency Committee of Jaba.

Daily sterilization rounds

The two brothers, Alawneh, after completing the Turbo device innovation last week, are conducting daily field trips in the village of Jaba and the neighboring towns, voluntarily, to sterilize roads, homes and citizens, to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Mofid notes that the developed turbo device contains two tanks for sterilizers, capacity of 300 liters, which is enough to sterilize the distance of four kilometers, in each of the three daily rounds, and is installed on a vehicle that roams the streets of the town.

Patrol system

Engineer Moufid Alawneh says: “Since last Thursday, we have been roaming the streets of the village of Jaba, where we operate the device by car, to spray sterilizers on the roads and inside the houses, where we work according to the patrol system, which was divided into three periods: morning and afternoon, and the third after seven Evening with the start of the timing to prevent citizens from wandering the streets. ”

He pointed out that the sterilization system was not limited to the village of Jaba, but rather extended to the town of Qabatiya, and several villages in Jenin, to protect citizens from the outbreak of Corona.

Increased bonus:

"The innovative device is a 360-degree mechanical steering system, a water spray system, as well as a pneumatic propulsion system."

Useful Alawneh:

“(The Turbo) developed contains two tanks of 300 liters, which is enough to sterilize four kilometers.”
