Interesting modern Ukrainian inventions and developments

Ukrainians gave the world many outstanding inventions — that's a fact! And what about the last decade? Can we boast of interesting Ukrainian developments?

Of course, yes! In this article, we will tell you in detail about the TOP-5 modern achievements.

So, let's get started!

Liquid jet scalpel

Scientists of the Kharkiv Aerospace Institute and the National Aviation University used the technology of the aviation industry and in 2014 presented their invention - a liquid jet scalpel. Thanks to this tool, it is now possible to perform extremely complex operations on the internal organs of a person more successfully. After all, everything is done with a jet of water, which is released under high pressure, leaving the vessels of the organ intact. At the same time, the whole process takes place twice as fast, blood loss is minimized, and the patient undergoes postoperative recovery more easily.

Fresh water from the air

The problem of the lack of drinking water on Earth, unfortunately, is becoming more and more noticeable due to climate change and man-made pollution. So the Ukrainian designer Oleksiy Prykhodko created a device for obtaining fresh water from the air — SmartOasis, which works on solar batteries and generates up to 200 liters of clean water per day. Since 2019, the system has been operating in the Al Mamzar Smart Park in Dubai.

Use of solar energy

This trend is mega relevant, especially for Ukraine in conditions of forced power outages. So the team of startups from Odesa "Solar Plex" proposed a hardware development that hybridizes any solar panel into an electrothermal solar station. With the help of a polymer collector, the circulation of the coolant is ensured, which cools the panel, increases its efficiency and allows you to get hot water. In the future, it can be used for heating the room. The technology is suitable for both existing and new panels.

As for the 2 latest inventions of our TOP, their appearance was caused, unfortunately, by the realities of the war in Ukraine.

Electric bicycle

In May 2022, the Ukrainian company "Eleek" created the "Elik Atom" electric bikes. The idea of ​​its development and adaptation for the needs of the Armed Forces came from the founder of the company, Pavlo Rudakevich, when he saw a self-made electric bicycle on the street. The color of the bike was changed, wings were installed, as in cross-country motorcycles, extra parts were removed: pedal drive, mirrors, turning lights. One charge of an electric bicycle is enough for 100 km.

Quadrocopter minesweeper

Igor Klymenko - a student of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute on September 20, 2022, for his innovative invention, received the title of the best student in the world according to the prestigious Global Student Prize. He combined a drone with a minesweeper. The copter remotely detects explosive objects thanks to electromagnetic and optical surface research. It can find different types of mines, and most importantly - transmit the exact coordinates of the found objects to the sappers. Now the guy is cooperating with investors to apply it in real conditions.

Of course, the list of modern developments can be continued. After all, Ukrainians are a talented nation. This once again confirms our confidence that Ukrainians can overcome any difficulties thanks to ingenuity and intelligence.
