WSU Researchers Take ‘Swiss Roll’ Innovation to National Competition
| July 27, 2007 |  View for printing |
A prototype plastic Swiss Roll developed by a Washington State University researcher and colleagues may some day allow cell phones and other portable electronics to be powered for hundreds of hours instead of just a few.
Sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the competition features prototypes of innovative products from universities throughout the country. The finalists are judged on feasibility and possible impact on the marketplace. The winning team will receive seed funding for their project. The event will take place November 9 in Seattle, before the 2007 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition.
