Lecturers and students of the Club of Electricity & Electronics under the Faculty of Electricity & Electronics, Nha Trang University has just created automatic hand sanitizer dispensers for use in the campus to help curb the spread of the COVID-19.
The project on automatic hand sanitizer dispensers was initiated by Dr. Nguyen Van Hoa, Director of the Center for Experiments & Practices and developed by Dr. Bui Thuc Minh, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Electricity & Electronics with the participation of 2 students named Vo Tai Loc and Dinh Quyet Thanh.

The touchless dispenser is 40cm high, 20cm long and 15cm wide. To dispense soap automatically, just place our hands in front of the sensor, which helps to prevent the spread of germs and thus minimize cross contamination.
Reportedly, the idea of the automatic hand sanitizer dispenser came across in late March in order to cope with the unprecedented outbreak. With VND500,000 on materials, the researchers spent only one week creating the hand sanitizer dispenser which is installed at the school gate at present.
Vo Tai Loc says, “During the research, we should study more to improve the product. The most advantage of the product is that it runs on battery so it can be conveniently moved to where we want. It can be charged using a mobile charger. When the outbreak is over, the device can be put in public restrooms for use."
Dr. Bui Thuc Minh says his group will create more automatic hand sanitizer dispensers for high schools in Khanh Hoa and neighboring provinces. Besides, they are going to create body temperature meters in order to help monitor body temperature in an effort to detect COVID-19. The activity is an opportunity for students of electricity and electronics in particular and engineering students in general to research and create useful products for the community.
Besides automatic hand sanitizer dispensers, the Club of Electricity & Electronics has developed many practical models such as smart home control, computer-controlled CNC craving machine, solar energy, etc.
The club has provided an environment for students to meet, learn, share ideas and develop vocational skills.
