Qatari inventor Mohsen Hussein Al Sheikh expressed his happiness at winning the gold medal and the shield of the World Cup 2022 for Invention and Scientific Research, which was held in the Republic of Tunisia on the sidelines of the activities of the summit of the Eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 8) held early September, for his invention of the "Oxy" - a cooler for a water tank. His total achievements in the field of innovation amounted to six gold medals, five of which were for Oxy and one for his invention of a check printer device.
Mohsen Al Sheikh said in an exclusive statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), that he dedicated this achievement to the Qatari people, affirming the continuation of efforts to produce an Oxy, with the support of Qatar Development Bank (QDP), Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), and Qatar Business Incubation Center (QBIC), explaining that work is underway to obtain quotations for devices and equipment from local and foreign companies to produce the device in Qatar.
He pointed out that a number of local companies have submitted requests for interest to buy and distribute the product. Al Sheikh called on official authorities, the public, and private sectors to support the project, as it aims to contribute to the preservation of the environment and community service.
The Oxy - a cooler for a water tank, operates with a high-pressure system in the cooling process, and contains sensors that automatically measure the temperature and turn off and operate the device that preserves electricity consumption, with the distinction of being environmentally friendly.
Al Sheikh indicated in his statement to QNA, that his participation in the World Cup 2022 for Invention and Scientific Research in Tunisia came to confirm the presence of the Qatari innovator and inventor in international scientific forums, and his confidence in his invention's ability to compete with the innovations and inventions of thousands of inventors from all over the world.
He added that he was hoping to compete with two projects in this competition, the Oxy device and the Mahalat electronic platform, which is a pioneering project that aims to preserve the environment and reduce waste in homes and contribute to achieve quality in waste recycling, but could not present the project in the official competition, pointing out that the Mahalat platform provides innovative solutions to reduce the health risks of waste, by alerting the seller and the consumer of the expiry date of the products to be consumed in a timely manner, in addition to organizing and facilitating the sorting of household waste. Mahalat platform also provides a service to shop owners and their customers by registering the contents of the shops of goods in the store and enabling consumers to easily identify their needs, in addition to innovative solutions for delivery services. They are seeking in cooperation with local companies to launch this platform early next year, he said.
