COLLEGE OF ENGNEERING,
DESIGN, ART AND TECHNOLOGY
A LIST OF NOTABLE INNOVATIONS
The Kayoola Solar Bus
The Kayoola bus concept represents the next
generation of public transport for cities within the
region. The first of its kind on the African continent,
the Kayoola Solar bus relies on lithium-ion batteries
to power an electric motor that is coupled to a 2-
speed pneumatic shift transmission. This technology
serves to conserve the environment and public
health. The telltale signatures of traditional diesel
engine buses – plumes of dark smoke blowing out
of the tailpipe and a grumbling engine sound — are
replaced by a soft whine as soon as the electric bus
accelerates.
Maka pads
The MakaPads project arose out of a research that
revealed that academic performance of most girls
dropped at puberty level and a high rate of absenteeism
from school by poor schoolgirls. This was due to failure
to access affordable sanitary towels during
menstruation. For those who dared to go to school used
unhygienic provisions and faced humiliation from boys.
For many girls in the rural areas, menstruation means
no school. The innovation and products from MakaPads
have come in to meet this need by providing an
effective low cost protection to the girls. The pads are
made out of papyrus and paper waste.
Improved water pumps
Makerere University in partnersship with Perdue
University in Indiana USA has developed a solar-
powered Irigation pump as a cheap and reliable
solution for small scale farmers that form the bulk of
farmers in the world. The entire system can be
assembled at a cost of shs. 6.5 million .
The irrigation pump was demonstrated and launched on
Thursday 5th January, 2017 by the Prime Minister of
the Republic of Uganda the Rt. Hon. Dr. Ruhakana
Rugunda at his office near Parliament of Uganda. The
function was attended by officials from Uganda
Prisons, Operation Wealth Creation and the Chancellor
Makerere University Prof. Ezra Suruma among others
Hybrid FRUIT DRYER
This dryer uses both biomass (usually dry rubbish or firewood) and
solar power as its sources of energy, which can be used concurrently or
singularly to dry fruits faster. I was inspired to go for biomass and solar
power because they are renewable energy sources that Uganda is
blessed with. They are also efficient even in the rural/remote areas. I’ve
been to Kayunga to see established dryers; my effort is an improvement
on what is currently in use and responds to concerns by users whose
main complaint is inconsistent sunshine. What is left for me is to
design a temperature control system (he is working on it with a
classmate). When I graduate, I hope to establish a workshop that would
build dryers on demand.

A list-of-notable-innovations-at-makerere-university BY KALYOWA MUSITAFA

  • 1. MAKERERE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGNEERING, DESIGN, ART AND TECHNOLOGY A LIST OF NOTABLE INNOVATIONS
  • 2. The Kayoola Solar Bus The Kayoola bus concept represents the next generation of public transport for cities within the region. The first of its kind on the African continent, the Kayoola Solar bus relies on lithium-ion batteries to power an electric motor that is coupled to a 2- speed pneumatic shift transmission. This technology serves to conserve the environment and public health. The telltale signatures of traditional diesel engine buses – plumes of dark smoke blowing out of the tailpipe and a grumbling engine sound — are replaced by a soft whine as soon as the electric bus accelerates.
  • 3. Maka pads The MakaPads project arose out of a research that revealed that academic performance of most girls dropped at puberty level and a high rate of absenteeism from school by poor schoolgirls. This was due to failure to access affordable sanitary towels during menstruation. For those who dared to go to school used unhygienic provisions and faced humiliation from boys. For many girls in the rural areas, menstruation means no school. The innovation and products from MakaPads have come in to meet this need by providing an effective low cost protection to the girls. The pads are made out of papyrus and paper waste.

  • 5. Hybrid FRUIT DRYER This dryer uses both biomass (usually dry rubbish or firewood) and solar power as its sources of energy, which can be used concurrently or singularly to dry fruits faster. I was inspired to go for biomass and solar power because they are renewable energy sources that Uganda is blessed with. They are also efficient even in the rural/remote areas. I’ve been to Kayunga to see established dryers; my effort is an improvement on what is currently in use and responds to concerns by users whose main complaint is inconsistent sunshine. What is left for me is to design a temperature control system (he is working on it with a classmate). When I graduate, I hope to establish a workshop that would build dryers on demand.
