The project called „Crayfish on Guard“ advanced to the final of the Parádní nápad 2021 competition, which takes place on April 27th, 2021. The essence of the competition is above all the opportunity to present and defend your "good idea" in front of an interesting and non-negotiable auditorium. At the same time, it is possible to gain new contacts, experience and skills. The project of Mr. Regenda Wastewater Treatment Plant was also entered in the competition on behalf of the FFPW USB, but unfortunately it was not shortlisted. We can still support Pavel Kozák and Petr Císař, who will defend their project „Crayfish on Guard“ in the final.

Thanks to the patented TORATOM tomograph, it was possible to take over 60 images per second from two perpendicular directions at the same time. The measurement, which was carried out in collaboration with the NATIONAL LABORATORY FOR ADDITIVE AND DIGITAL MANUFACTURING (MADiT) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, will allow a more accurate characterization of the function of the esophageal model.
