The US Embassy has granted visas to Nghe An students to attend the International Science and Technology Competition.

This information has just been reported by teacher Mai Van Quyen - teacher and direct instructor of the project "System of distilling salt water into fresh water with vacuum technique using hydraulic pump by wave energy" from Hanoi.

Accordingly, this morning (May 8), after the third interview appointment, the US Embassy agreed to grant visas to student Mai Nhat Anh and teacher Mai Van Quyen to attend the International Science and Technology Competition in the US.

Over the phone, teacher Mai Van Quyen expressed his gratitude to the authorities and the press agencies for actively supporting teachers and students of the school in the past time to facilitate visa application.

Previously, after being awarded First Prize and selected to attend the International Science and Technology Competition in the US, the Nghe An student group, including the direct instructor and 1 student participating in the project, were denied a visa to the US.

Currently, right after the interview results and visa approval, the teachers and students have returned to Nghe An to prepare the necessary conditions to continue tomorrow morning (May 9) to Hanoi. According to the plan, on May 11, the delegation will fly to the US and on May 13, the competition will be officially opened.

US Embassy schedules 3rd visa interview for Nghe An student

(Baonghean.vn) - After many efforts, today (May 4), the US Embassy has issued a third interview appointment for the delegation of teachers and students from Nghe An participating in the International Science and Technology Competition in the US.

Ministry of Education requests US Embassy to support visas for Nghe An students

The Ministry emailed the US Embassy to support the third interview of the student; emailed the contest organizers to ask for intervention.

Project“Saltwater distillation system into fresh water with vacuum technology using hydraulic pump by ocean wave energy”is an idea that comes from the reality of the lack of fresh water on some islands and archipelagos. Right in Nghe An, many fishermen who go to sea to exploit seafood for a long time also have to bring fresh water from the mainland, and have to return when the water reserve runs out.

Mai Nhat Anh and Phung Van Long's project is based on the method of evaporation and condensation of liquids. Using the energy of ocean waves to operate the pressure reduction pump system, thereby reducing the boiling temperature of seawater, helping to create a larger amount of steam, increasing the productivity of the machine.
