【看CP學英文】馬來西亞九歲發明家 Zyson Kang Zy Shun從將近900名參賽者中脫穎而出，奪得「NASA月球廁所挑戰」比賽少年組冠軍。

Young Malaysian inventor Zyson Kang Zy Shun, nine, has made the country proud by bagging first place in NASA’s prestigious Lunar Loo Challenge Junior Category, beating out almost 900 participants from across the globe.

這位男童發明「太空衣月球廁所」，擊敗來自85國897名參賽者，贏得國際比賽冠軍。

Impressing a panel of judges from NASA, the pupil from SJK (C) Pin Hwa 1, Setia Alam, Klang, stood out among 897 participants from 85 countries, winning the international competition with his “Spacesuit Lunar Toilet“.

Zyson的發明裝置可完美裝在太空衣上，且完全不需要電能、電池，僅靠機械動能即能運作。

Zyson’s invention, which can fit snugly into an astronaut’s spacesuit, does not need electricity or batteries, only requiring mechanical kinetic power.

Zyson也大方分享「太空衣月球廁所」設計理念，此裝置以方便性為出發點。「利用手動機械動能的概念，產生真空抽吸，將尿液、排遺結晶化並安全棄置。」

The “Spacesuit Lunar Toilet” design concept, said the pupil, revolved around convenience.

“It works by applying a manual mechanical kinetic concept to produce a vacuum suction power to crystalize the urine and fecal matter for safe disposal,” he explained.

「當你移動你的腿，尿液就會順勢流到放在太空人靴子內的容器裡。」

“When you move your legs, the urine will flow down into a container in the astronaut’s boots.

「這裝置不須用到任何電力，降低在太空出錯壞掉的可能。」 Zyson向馬國媒體The Star分享道。

“The design does not require any electrical components, hence, minimizing the potential of a malfunction in space, ” Zyson told The Star.

10月28日， Zyson向NASA評審團隊透過線上會議分享自己的作品，簡單又好用的排遺裝置設計驚艷在座所有人。

Invited to present his design with the NASA team on Oct. 28 via a webinar, Zyson wowed the judges with his simple yet effective idea for “number two’s” in space.
