Following recent missile threats in Israel, bedridden individuals under home hospitalization remain unprotected, as they are unable to reach shelters independently. This population is growing due to hospital overcrowding, and studies show that home care is often more effective than hospital treatment. However, no protective solutions currently exist for these vulnerable individuals. The goal of this project is to develop a dedicated fragmentation protection system for home-hospitalized patients. After evaluating several design alternatives, a motorized, user-friendly solution was selected. Our system includes adjustable stabilizing legs, support rods, and a fragment-resistant fabric that automatically deploys along the bed during a missile alert. The system offers a lightweight, practical, and lifesaving response tailored to the needs of immobile patients in emergency scenarios.

The temperature inside parked vehicles can reach levels (up to 80°C) in hot climates like Israel, posing discomfort and health risks. This project develops an autonomous, solar-powered ‘thermoelectric cooling’ (TEC) system to mitigate the excessive rise in temperature inside parked vehicles. Designed for window mounting, the system uses ten TEC1-12703 modules, optimized heatsinks, and dual-fan ventilation. Analysis indicates that our prototype achieves approximately a 10°C temperature reduction (672W heat dissipation). The goal is not full air conditioning but reducing extreme heat peaks for a more comfortable vehicle entry. Powered by two 200W solar panels charging a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery via an MPPT controller, it offers ~3 hours of autonomous operation, enhancing user safety and comfort.
