Peyton Robertson
By: Peter Horsfield
Peyton Robertson began inventing at only eight years old. He was brought up by his parents to find solutions to problems rather than complain about them. By the time he turned twelve, he had won first place in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge for inventing the "Sandless Operational Sandbag" (SOS). His invention is much lighter than conventional sandbags, more intuitively-designed to avoid seawater and floodwater from seeping in, and 100% reusable. Once dried after use, the SOS can then be stored for future flood emergencies.

Why Peyton Robertson is Extraordinary
Peyton Robertson, at 12 years old, was the youngest-ever winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2013, taking home 25,000 dollars in prize money. He is the proud inventor of the "Sandless Operation Sandbag," or the SOS. But before you conclude that this boy is going to be a one-time wonder, please note that he has been inventing since he was eight years old! The SOS was his third invention, after the golf ball canister and retractable trainer wheels.
Trained to be a Problem-Solver
When he first discovered his love for math and science, Peyton was encouraged by his parents to think differently. Instead of seeing problems only as just causes of trouble, he was made to search for solutions; it sure helped that Peyton was a genius from birth.
After seeing how poorly the sandbags performed as flood deterrents, he set out to revolutionize their design and components. The first thing to go was the sand; instead of heavy sandbag content, he replaced it with light polymers, which expand when wet and absorb the liquid. He then added salt to make the contents denser than the saltwater it needed to keep out. To optimize blocking efficiency, he also fashioned his sandbags with plaster to keep them interlocked and ensure no salt water would find its way into the gaps.
Peyton was named the overall winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge for his invention. He is now seeking to have SOS patented openly so that others can replicate his design and perhaps even improve it.
Two years prior to winning the 3M Young Scientists Challenge, Peyton also received the National Kids' Science Challenge Grand Prize. He now attends Pine Crest School and IMACS. A professor at the University of Florida has expressed his amazement and willingness to have Peyton enroll at his university.
Right now, Peyton is busy with other problems that await solutions; he tells young inventors:
"Failure is progress and a normal part of the process. Whether it's science or life, you have to start, fail and just keep pushing. In a football game, time runs out, and a golf match ends after the last hole. But when you are working on something and it doesn't work, you just extend the game – and give your experiment or your prototype another go." (SOURCE: TED Blog)

Biography of Peyton RobertsonDate of Birth: | Born in: 2001 / Nationality: United States of America
Peyton has never been an ordinary kid. He was already solving math problems at only three years old, and his parents were also quick to spot his inclination towards science and math. They encouraged the boy to think outside the box and taught him that when problems arise, the solutions are always out there waiting for someone's discovery.
With such supportive parents, Peyton's creativity flourished. When the 2005 storm named "Wilma" devastated his neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, the boy noticed how inefficient the traditional sandbags were, as they were unable to keep floodwater out while gaps still allowed water to seep in. The sandbags were also quite heavy, weighing about 40lbs each; transporting them and moving them around was quite a task, and after only one use, the sandbags weighed twice as much soaked and would have to be disposed.
Peyton refused to stand by and look on after identifying the problem, and he sought ways to mitigate the flooding. Wilma left them with an incredible 43 billion dollars' worth of damage, about 80% of which was caused by flooding. His answer to the problem was the "Sandless Operational Sandbag," which weighs one-tenth of a traditional sandbag at only 4lbs. How is it possible? Well, Peyton is a whiz kid: he used his scientific knowledge to concoct a formula that will expand the sandbag when it becomes soaked with water, and "interlock" to prevent floodwater from seeping through gaps. He also added salt to make the contents denser than seawater.
Interesting, eh? If only more people focused on finding a solution rather than dwelling on the problem, we would have less to worry about now. We can learn from Peyton. This boy is going to do much more, considering what he has already done before even becoming a teenager.
"Hurricane Wilma"
In 2005, the United States was battered by a Category 5 storm named "Wilma." A toddler at the time, Peyton remembers waiting out the storm inside a closet in their Fort Lauderdale [Florida] home. As it turned out, Florida was of the most-ravished areas; of the estimated 43 billion dollars of damages, 80% was caused by seawater flooding. The sandbags did little to keep the water out of residential areas.
As young as he was, Peyton realized that many were unprepared for such a disaster. A son of supportive parents, Peyton was told to always look for solutions to the problems around him. He was even doing math problems at three years old! His parents decided it would be best to enroll him in the Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, or IMACS, to supplement his education.
A Young Inventor
Being mentally and physically active, Peyton enjoys solving math problems and also spending time outdoors playing golf. One cold day, he noticed that his golf ball was not bouncing as much as usual. He thought that the ball's temperature might have something to do with its ability to bounce, so he conducted experiments and determined that a ball that isn't left in the cold keeps its normal bouncing capacity compared to a cold one.
What did this whiz kid do about this discovery? He invented. Peyton came up with a golf ball container that keeps the ball at room temperature, even on cold days. He is still seeking to have it patented, but has been contacted by manufacturers for a potential business deal.
Another of Peyton's inventions was the "retractable trainer wheel." When his twin sisters were first learning how to ride a bicycle, they used trainer wheels, which did not allow them to practice balancing and learning the real way to ride. They had to take off the trainer wheels and risk falling when they failed to keep their balance.
Rather than let his sisters suffer the consequences of learning how to ride without trainer wheels, he set out to help them by finding a way to make the trainer wheels easier to manage. He soon fashioned a bicycle with retractable trainer wheels; when the rider feels ready to try biking without them, all he/she has to do is pull the lever connected to the trainer wheels, and they will lift off the ground. When the rider may be close to falling, he/she can let go of the lever and the trainer wheels will drop again for support.
The patent for the retractable trainer wheels is now being pursued; bike manufacturers have also contacted him for a potential deal using this ingenious creation.
First Place in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge
The invention that catapulted Peyton to worldwide fame was his "Sandless Operational Sandbag," which was his entry for the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2013. The event was open to young inventors from fifth to eighth grade.
After Hurricane Wilma devastated Florida in 2005, Peyton saw that traditional sandbags did little to prevent their community from being flooded with seawater. The "Category 5" storm caused 43 billion dollars' worth of damage, 80% of which was caused by flooding. Another storm in 2012, a Category 3 storm named "Sandy," reminded the young boy of the inefficiency of traditional sandbags.
So, he wondered if there was any way to solve the problem by reinventing the first line of defense against the flood. He realized that polymers [a material that expands when soaked in water] are much lighter than sand. Conducting tests then led him to conclude that polymers can be used as absorbent materials in place of sand.
But, saltwater is denser than tap water. In order to leverage the polymers' absorption capacity, Peyton added salt to the contents of the bag to make sure the polymer sandbags, when soaked in saltwater, would not be overpowered by water from the sea. The amount of salt each sandbag held was enough for the polymers to reach their maximum absorption capacity while increasing the sandbag's density. To address the gaps, Peyton designed the bags to "interlock" when stacked to keep the floodwater out.
The "Sandless Operational Sandbag" earned Peyton first place in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2013. He also made history by becoming the youngest-ever winner of the competition, at age 12. Peyton will be using his 25,000 dollars in prize money to fund his college studies and, perhaps, solve more problems in the future.
This boy is certainly geared to do more:
"In Florida, citrus canker causes trees to drop their fruit early. I've been wondering whether it might be possible to reduce citrus canker with something similar to a preventative immunization for trees. I've also been thinking about whether it might be possible to combine underwater speaker technology, echolocation and an algorithm to help lead whales like those recently trapped here in the Everglades back to open waters."

I haven't posted to much in the past little while, but now I have lots to post about. I recently went to a friends cottage and got to go out riding, it was a lot of fun. Most of the trails were fairly easy not to muddy or rocky, easy hills not to challenging but when we ended up at my friends farm that was a different story. It was two buddies & (brother) and myself on a dirt bike, ATV and a side by side ( golf cart on steroids) we decided to go through a creek about 1-2 feet deep by 5-7 feet wide.
I didn't quite make it across the first time I had to get winched out, the second time across I thought if I got a run at it I would make it through the creek, well going faster just made it worse. I ended up stopping dead in the creek and almost flipping over the handle bars, it wasn't very fun. I was stuck again, my buddy pulled me out of the mud, and as they were all laughing at me, the side by side also got stuck. It took us a good 10-15 minutes to get it unstuck as it was up to the floor boards in mud and water.
It was a fun cottage weekend and hopefully we can go up again so I can get some more great videos and pictures.
I still can not post pictures for some reason on wordpress, otherwise I would post a few pictures of the quading we did.
Keep posted for some videos and pictures in the next few days.

This wooden 'flower train' is in front of the Heritage Square entrance to the grounds. Heritage Square's nostalgia seems to be spilling out of it's borders.
Fair ground. The typical filthy ground people at the fair walk on all day. Most grass is dead, and some areas are worn down to dirt and dust.
This is a vintage seed bag from a display in the Agriculture/Horticulture building.
Creature illustrating an old circus car, Heritage Square.
Inside the small and dingy transportation and racing museum for the fair at Heritage Square. There was a large display of primitive paintings featuring transportation devices of fairs past. I was drawn to the dirigible!
Wagons made of steel. I once owned an album named that. This photo features an old pioneer wagon in Heritage Square with its modern equivalent in the nearby parking lot.
This wall is near the entrance on Liggett ave. It is a WPA project made from local limestone that is rarely used as a masonry material today.
Jacuzzi Falls. This is one of many Jacuzzi stands at the fair. This one is in the Grandstand (which has merchandise in its bowels). A cheesy wonderland!
A random CBS eye logo painted on the floor of the Grandstand. It still functions as seating for pay concerts and events at the fair. I know it only as a strange mercantile.
An oldies band playing, as seen from the Grandstand ramp. Note the skyride to the upper right. Oddly enough, as I shot this photo there was a drum solo.
Spin art stand. It is a relatively cheap aesthetic pleasure (3$ or 2 for 5$). Recently Frisbees were added.
A candid back-side shot of one of the famous french fry stands at the fair. Those sacks at the left are potatoes.
My favorite ride at the fair is Ye Old Mill, a boat ride through a pitch black tunnel with occasional dioramas. It was built in 1913. This wheel powers the whole ride.
A view of the meticulously organized Republican Party building. Note the odd red vests of the volunteers---Wal-Martian?
Located on a secluded alley (relatively speaking) near the Horse barns, Steichen's is an old fashioned convenience store that caters to fair workers and participators, not fair goers. It looks so old I felt like the food would all be spoiled. That stuffed animal is a mangy version of 'Fairchild' the gopher, the fair mascot.
This is a street scene on Liggett ave. looking down the alley that Steichen's is located in. At the end is a Barn.

Cattle entering the Hippodrome from the cattle barn way. Yes, this is bad photography, but is captures the excitement of the animals and people as their paths cross on the Hippodrome walkway.
Cattle waiting judging, midway between the cattle barn and Hippodrome. This picture reminds me of a Rembrandt scene.
In an alley, behind an unfriendly fence lies this private parkland with the serpentine shape of Ye Old Mill. Note the extra boat.
A 'Snozzle' firetruck with the DES Dinning Hall in the background. For the faint of stomach there are several church-style dinning halls at the fair.
Live demos of products are in many buildings at the fair. This is one of at least three Sham Wow! stands.
A display of arts and crafts at the educational building. As a child my dream was to have work displayed here.
A giant cigarette butt outside of the health building. One year they made paper 'butt out' hats available featuring a large cigarette butt above the forehead.
A rare lone eater inside the beer garden building.
The Minnesota State Fair is a tradition in my family, like it is for many others. It is all about fun, but mostly what the fair consists of is walking around as a family through shuffling crowds looking at food stands and schlocky merchandise. Over many years there is a lot of change at the fair, but from year to year or even five years to five years things are the same down to the last inch. Many merchandise stands have been in the same location for over 20 years (and it seems like they never leave the fairgrounds, just sitting there year round). Things that were novel in the late 70's or 80's thrive--spin art, personality analysis 'computers', computer portrait art (dot matrix!) airbrush art. A stand or booth changing locations can get quite disconcerting!
With all this baseless repetition, the fair can seem like a forced march through a collective memory. My family has to look at a day's worth of certain things, just because. There is no logic to most of is. The stands seem random, because almost any stand could turn a profit at the fair, but many are not particularly swell ideas. Here is capitalism mixed with monarchism on display--if you get a stand into the fair, your family gets grandfathered into a profitable buisness, almost regardless of what you sell. It can be a very odd and trying sensation at times to walk through this same landscape of shilling over and over.
It certainly seems like America incarnate and in microcosim. But there is one big difference I notice between the real America and fair America. Tradition, no matter how cheesey or empty-headed is valued greatly at the fair. The real America is always on to the next thing, racing to erase evidence of a potentially embarassing past. Nostalgia is ok, but chest-beating patriotism that is part of America doesn't rely on pride in the past, excepting milestones. But at the fair, even a change of venue or a disappearing stand is a slight outrage. Nostagia is everywhere--of all kinds, from all eras of Minnesota. A whole section of the fair is called Heritage Square and has a pioneer/historical theme. It features an creepily old-fashioned (and simply old) State Fair museum housed in a train car.
All that is old fashioned Minnesota is celebrated at the fair. Pioneers, family farms, unique Minnesota products (and totally non-unique ones), free-moving livestock, old cars, old buildings old benches, old rides (Ye Ole Mill was built in 1913)--things done right, done the old-fashioned way. Tradition is paramount. Here history isn't relegated to empty county history museums, it is a living, valued aspect of the fair itself. Because the fair is all about Minnesota pride, in a way people at the fair are collectively saying, 'the past is great and our history matters,' as they stuff their faces.
This photo essay is not a planned hunt for certain sites. It features things I snapped a shot of as I randomly wandered around a landscape of American exess, burned into my memory. This hardly represnts a comprehensive cross-section of the fair, but rather is colored by my family's own history and tendencies and what I spotaneously came across and enjoyed at the moment.

Security is a concern for most people in the world that we live in. This does not mean that a secure home has to an unattractive home. In more recent times security screen door designs have continued to develop. More options and more designs are readily available and security screen doors do not just resemble metal bars that remind you of a prison.
When looking for security screen doors there are a number of essential features to look for. Security screen doors can be used for a number of reasons:
- Provide security and peace of mind for your home
- To allow the breeze to flow through in summer without having your home open to the public
- To create a barrier that allows that breeze in but helps stop the free reign of pets and children in and out of the house.
Whatever your reasoning you can usually find a design that will blend in with the surrounding décor of your home.
We offer a number of security door and security screen door options. These consist of:
- Tubular Steel Frames
- Roll Form Steel Frames
- Aluminium Security Doors
- Galvanised Steel Frames
Within these categories there are plenty of colours and designs to choose from. All doors come standard with:
- Single point whitco snib lock and two keys. The exception to this is for a sliding aluminium screen door, where a basic latch is used.
- Mesh of your choice (more info below)
- Door closer
- Black handle.
Additional items that can be considered are:
- Frame Upgrade – Steel outer frames can be used for added security
- Kick plate – some doors come standard with a kick plate, if not we can easily add one for you.
- Half Panels – for added protection against weather and pets.
- Pet Entrance – available any size.
When choosing your door you should carefully consider what mesh you place on your doors. Mesh choices are below:
A light weight mesh suitable for aluminium doors and flyscreens. Black only. A budget option.
Aluminium Mesh
A slightly stronger than fibreglass. Suitable for aluminium doors and flyscreens. Black only.
Tuff Mesh
Heavy duty aluminium mesh. Recommended option for steel doors. Black only.
Limited Vision Mesh (DVA)
Allows you to look out clearly but restricts others looking in. Recommended option for steel doors, particularly front entrance doors. Can be colour matched to your door frame.
Galvanised Steel Mesh
Perforated. For maximum security. Offers full vision both ways. Can be used on any steel or aluminium door. Black only. Recommended for security screen doors with no bars.
Stainless Steel Mesh – Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel Mesh.
For maximum security. Offers full vision both ways. Can be used on any steel door or aluminium door. Black only. Recommended for security screen doors with no bars.
Remember, even when you are at home, it is advisable that your security doors and screens be kept locked at all times.


text: Need some professional advice guys! I've heard that some benchrest shooters only resize the the first 1/8" of the neck for better bullet to bore alignment. I've tried this by pulling the expander ball assembly out of my full length die and gauging 1/8" by feel in the press stroke. I've measured a .002" tighter neck than I normally get by leaving the expander ball in. Has anyone tried this and what were your results??

Whimsy and warmth meet for outdoor adventures in the form of Veyo Mittyz, thumbless mittens for kids, which are waterproof and easy-to-don.
Veyo Mittyz Free Fingers and Thumbs
Who needs dexterity when it's 20 degrees? Not us. At least not for most of our wintry fun! These thumbless mittens made to simplify life outdoors in the cold for kids are JUST what you need if you've been thumb-wrestling too often this winter! With sizes spanning the ages of childhood, these neat mittens use this newer concept to keep little digits toasty AND give bigger kids independence when gearing up for adventures.
Thumbless Mittens Make Outdoor Adventure Easy
Reviewing the thumbless Veyo mittyz mittens this season the kids first and foremost (for them) loved the apprearance and feel of the mitts.
The buckles on the mittyz secure at the base of the hand and at the upper forearm area — this makes it difficult for toddlers to protest and chuck them off. It also makes a barrier to prevent snow from entering and freezing wrists.
We LOVE not having a thumb for the toddler size mittyz. I hate to guess how much of my life I've lost trying to get little fingers to go into little finger tubes in gloves. Or how often I've had to "pop out the thumb" of all of our winter hand coverings! It's NICE to not have a thumb sometimes!
Children's Cold Weather Mittens
A beefed up polar level cold covering would be fantastic. These work for our kids for sled rides and snowmobile rides down to around the goose egg — anything colder (subzero) and we start planning for more protection. This of course will depend on what you're adventures for the day are and your individual children's ability to withstand cold.
The kids aren't able to grasp trekking poles real securely or huck snowballs with expertise, BUT they're able to hold on for winter sleigh rides, snowshoe sans poles, and in general, play and roll around in the snow. Activities when dexterity is not a main element are perfectly executed with little paws (or pirates) on hands.
Veyo Mittyz Raise the Bar on Kids Mittens
The Utah-based company designed these fun and functional mittens to solve common problems in covering kids cold little hands.
You know how kids squeeze their fingers together like they're taking a Girl Scout pledge when all you want them to
do is spread their damn fingers apart? THAT. Problem solved! Not even little thumbkin gets away with Mittyz!
The price point ($39.95) is a little high for kids mittens (the standard kind) but they are great quality, made from an interesting lightweight yet warm material, and stay on well. Adding up the worth of my time and all that has been lost to getting ready to tromp through snow makes the price more than fair! They dry fast and you can clip them together, keeping them from ending up like the mystery of the left sock disappearance saga.
Thumbs Up for Kids Winter Warmth
If you could see my kids thumbs, they'd be giving Veyo Mittyz a double thumbs-up. The ability to easily slide over bulky coats, the cute designs (including a hot pink tiger paw and skully design, both new) and of course the ease of putting them on, thanks to the no-thumb design make Veyo Mittyz a fun and super functional choice in outdoor cold-weather kids gear for us!

Finished up David Carradine's Kill Bill Diary. This is a book that I started a couple of months ago but put aside after I'd read about half of it. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the book, but it was slow and kind of meandering, so I found it easier to read in two sittings. Basically Carradine (Caine on the old TV series Kung-Fu) kept a diary while he was involved in the making of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill parts one and two. If you've ever wanted an inside look at the making of a film this is the book for you since Carradine gives an almost overwhelming amount of detail, including the days he wasn't even on the set and the follow up trips to Cannes, the premier, and the long, drawn out process of promoting the films. On the way you get much autobiographical information about an actor who while never quite making it to actual stardom, has become an icon in his own right.
Then I switched to Tarzan and the City of Gold. This was brought about by receiving DVDs of the 1970s Filmation Tarzan cartoon series. The pilot episode was a fairly faithful adaptation of the novel, right down to some of the dialogue. More about the cartoon later, but watching it made me want to re-read the book.
In this one, Tarzan rescues a strangely garbed man from a group of Shiftas (Arab slavers). The man turns out to be from a lost city called Athne, The City of Ivory. He has become lost in the jungle and can't get home. Tarzan, always curious, decides to help the man get back to his home. However, Athne is located on the far side of a valley, on the opposite side of the city of Cathne The City of Gold, the ancestral enemies of the Athneians.
Tarzan and his companion attempt to slip past Cathne at night during a storm, but Tarzan is caught in the currents of a storm swollen river and washed right into Cathne where he is captured. He ends up fighting for his life in an arena of course. All these lost cities have arenas. And the queen of the city falls for the ape man of course. All the queens of these lost cities fall for Tarzan. This one is a little different though because the queen, Nemone, is actually sort of a tragic character, and Tarzan does find himself attracted to her.
Where's Jane during all this? Never mentioned. There was a period during the middle range Tarzan novels where Tarzan's wife and son aren't mentioned, almost as if they didn't exist. Reportedly Edgar Rice Burroughs had considered killing Jane off, but instead he just ignored her for a while. She's in some books and she isn't in others. I think this is one of the better 'lost city' Tarzan adventures. Burroughs excelled at portraying strange races and exotic cultures. It's what made his John Carter of Mars books so fascinating and I think it works well in Tarzan's adventures as well.
Also read a couple more of the essays in Michael Chabon's Maps and Legends. Only got a couple left now. Last night before bed time I began Jack Vance's The Dying Earth, a fantasy classic that I never got around to reading. I've read some of Vance's later Dying Earth short stories in various anthologies, but reportedly the original is the best. I'll let you know.

The hotel was better than we expected. Room was a good size , comfortable, clean. Great location, friendly staff, money well spent.
- Great!
Great Experiecne, everything was so close, the disney parks, restaurants, outlets. Will defenitely be back
- Excellent hotel and service
I am from out of state and booked the hotel for a week. I was very happy when I arrived at the hotel. The hotel is in an excellent location. It is a block away from International Drive so you avoid all the traffic. The hotel was very clean and the staff is courteous and helpful. A full hot breakfast is included each morning and the wifi is free. The grounds and pool were taken care of everyday. I really enjoyed my stay there and if I go back to Orlando I would stay there again. I would recommend this hotel as a good place to stay for the price, location, and the decent breakfast.
- Great value hotel
Staff was incredibly friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful, but a little cold. Only one ice machine, located on the fifth floor. Overall a great hotel for the price.
- Good place to stay and receive good service
Confortable room for 5 or 6. Good breakfast to obtain energy to run in Orlando Downtown and Parks. Next to the most popular restaurants and main avenues to reach anywhere.
- Excellent location
Nice room with two beds and a sofabed for five people. They served hot breakfast everyday, a bonus to save money. This hotel is near supermarkets, gift shops and to the attractions. I will stay there again.
- Great Location
it was really good. great location good parking everything is near the hotel.
- Very pleasantly surprised by the 2-room suite for such a low price.
One exciting add on was a fire alarm going about 11pm. But it soon settled down into a false alarm. The room was exceptionally nice with a small fridge and microwave and 2nd TV in the Suite with its own sink like a little kitchen. I could live here.
- Good location - Good Value
My family and i were looking for an inexpensive hotel that was close to universal studios. This hotel was great for its location and breakfast. It was clean and definitely affordable.
- Orlando Getaway
Very Good, no problems nor noise, hotel is centrally located and near to International Drive. The only minor problem was that overflow parking lot is located outside of hotel perimeter and is somewhat dark. This happened only once, probably due to overbooking, other times was OK. Like I indicated: minor interference.

The invention describes a galvanic oxygen sensor.
Galvanic oxygen sensors are widely applied in high volumes in industrial, environmental and medical measurements because of their high reliability, small size, low power consumption and good price performance relation. Starting with their development in the 1950's many instruments to measure oxygen partial pressure were designed, some of them still being used today. In modem instruments like ventilators, emission monitoring devices and automotive emission testers such sensors are still preferred for oxygen measurements.
Typically, the sensors comprise a housing, a cathode, an anode having a bigger surface than the cathode, a diffusion barrier, an electrolyte and contact wires to connect the cathode and the anode electrically. The anode generates the required electrochemical potential for the reduction of oxygen at the cathode. Such galvanic sensors are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,767,552 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,429,796.
GB 1255353 describes a galvanic oxygen sensor with an anode material being made of lead, tin, cooper and their alloys. The electrolyte of this sensor contains sulfides. This design leads to very stable sensor signals that can be amplified electronically very well. On the other hand it is a considerable drawback of this design that the sensor can not be used in acid gas atmospheres containing e.g. carbon dioxide. In this case poisonous sulfur dioxide is can be released. Therefore the sensor can not be used for medical applications.
GB 1391168 describes a device for the measurement of oxygen. This device has two oxygen permeable membranes, one of them being porous, a silver cathode, and a tubular tin anode. This configuration allows the device to measure in condensing media or atmospheres that contain water droplets like in humidifiers for breath. The porous membrane prevents, due to its hydrophobic properties, the formation of a closed water film on the surface which could cause a signal reduction. The composition of the electrolyte is not described in the application. The principle to use a combination of two membranes, one of them being porous and thus preventing water condensation is state of the art for oxygen sensors today.
EP 1 593 962 describes a lead free galvanic oxygen sensor with an anode being made of zinc or aluminum. The inventors of this '962 patent document admit that these materials corrode and thus are only stable within a narrow pH-range of the electrolyte. Such sensors have a very limited lifetime when they are used at elevated temperatures because the corrosion is very temperature dependent. Additionally, the corrosion process generates water that has to be removed from the sensor. This can lead to a complex design of the sensor housing.
For a galvanic oxygen sensor with electrolyte and anode, the equations for the electro-chemical reactions are as follows.
Equation for the electrochemical process at the cathode with an alkaline electrolyte:
O2+2H2O+4e −→4OH− (Eq. 1a)
In an acid electrolyte the reduction of oxygen consumes protons:
O2+4H++4e −→2H2O (Eq. 1b)
Equations for possible electrochemical processes at the anode depending on the actual pH at the anode surface:
Me+4OH−→MeO2+4e −+2H2O (Eq. 2a)
2Me→2Me2++4e − (Eq. 2b)
Me stands for any metal that may exist at bivalent or tetravalent oxidation stage after the oxidation. According to equation 2a, the oxidation of the anode material leads to an oxide. According to equation 2b, the oxidation of the anode material leads to a soluble salt.
In EP 0305961, buffered weak acid electrolytes are described that consist of organic acids and their salts leading to oxygen sensors with increased lifetime.
The diffusion membrane in a sensor is a barrier for the gas so that a diffusion limiting current is generated at the cathode that can be measured. The diffusion limited current is proportional to the gas partial pressure at the diffusion barrier by the first approximation.
Instead of a membrane, a metal or plastic disc with a very small central hole can also be used. Given the appropriate dimension of the hole, the diffusion of the oxygen happens according to the Knudsen principle. This also leads to a diffusion limited current as long as all oxygen molecules reaching the cathode are being reduced. In this case, the sensor signal is proportional to the oxygen concentration at the sensor head. A device based on this principle is described in EP 0763730.
The electrical current flowing through the galvanic cell depends linearly on the oxygen partial pressure or the oxygen concentration. The electrochemically active surface of the anode should be bigger than the surface of the cathode to ensure an adequate motive force for the reaction and to avoid a concentration polarization at the surface of the anode.
In practice, lead is the state of the art anode material. It has a high hydrogen overvoltage and is thus corrosion resistant in alkaline and weak acid electrolytes over a wide temperature range. The relative high density of the lead permits small designs of the anode. In addition, it can be shaped easily due to its softness and is available in high purity at a relatively low price.
However, for some years lead has been disliked as a construction material. It is known that relatively low chronic doses are harmful to the human nervous system, the hematopoietic system and the kidneys. Thus, the limits for lead and lead containing substances in the environment have been repeatedly lowered in the past years. New legislation in various countries and states prohibits the use of lead in solders and electronic components. Also other heavy metals like cadmium and mercury are banned by the European Union's RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), and as such they are not viable alternatives to be used in electrochemical oxygen sensors.
As such, there is an need for a lead free, galvanic oxygen sensor.
The present invention relates to a new and improved oxygen sensor.
One aspect of the present invention is a galvanic oxygen sensor with a lead free anode which is electronically and mechanically compatible with existing lead containing sensors. By this way, existing instruments can further rely on the advantages of this technology as well as new instruments can be fitted to it.
One exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a galvanic oxygen sensor comprising: a housing, a cathode, an anode, a diffusion barrier, contact wires and an electrolyte, wherein said anode is made from a tin containing alloy and wherein the anode is substantially free of lead. The galvanic oxygen sensor of the present invention is advantageous for providing an effective oxygen gas sensor without utilizing a lead containing anode. These and additional advantages will be apparent in view of the detailed description.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing and distinctly claiming the present invention, it is believed that the same will be better understood from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
The embodiments set forth in the drawings are illustrative in nature and not intended to be limiting of the invention defined by the claims. Moreover, individual features of the drawings and the invention will be more fully apparent and understood in view of the detailed description.
Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are on a weight basis unless otherwise indicated. Except as otherwise noted, all amounts including quantities, percentages, portions, and proportions, are understood to be modified by the word "about", and amounts are not intended to indicate significant digits. Except as otherwise noted, the articles "a", "an", and "the" mean "one or more".
As used herein, "comprising" means that other steps and other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added. This term encompasses the terms "consisting of" and "consisting essentially of". The apparatuses of the present invention can comprise, consist of, and consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well as any of the additional or optional components or limitations described herein.
A pre-condition for the functioning of an electrochemical sensor is that all oxygen molecules diffusing to the cathode are reduced electrochemically. This can only be achieved when the anode is electro positive enough, thus enough electrons for the oxygen reduction are available. On the other hand the anode material shall not be too electro positive, because this would lead to hydrogen generation at the cathode. In this case, the sensor could consume itself quickly. In addition there could be a base current interfering with the sensor signal. The generation of hydrogen can be influenced by the composition of the electrolyte and the composition or coating of the cathode, but only to a minor extent.
The temperature dependency of the electrochemical potentials can make the conditions even more complex. Typically, the working range or allowed range for the sensors is between −20� C. and 60� C., meaning a range of 80 Kelvin, in which the working point of the anode must be stable. Otherwise, hydrogen could be generated or the oxygen could be reduced at the cathode only partially leading to a non linear sensor signal.
Another risk is the corrosion resistivity of the anode material within the specified operating temperature range. The typical lifetime of conventional sensors is between 2 to 3 years and the new sensors have to last at least as equally long. Such a lifetime can only be achieved when the metal is either protected by an oxide layer or the generation of a salt with low solubility on its surface. It is important that this layer stays conductive throughout the whole lifetime of the sensor otherwise, the electrochemical reaction would be limited or even stopped.
The idea of an adjustable electrochemical potential by the composition of the alloy involves some risks as alloys tend to form inter metallic phases and eutectic. These have often different properties compared to the homogeneous mixed phases. Unfortunately, such information is typically not available in the literature. Thus electrochemical properties can typically only be calculated by approximation and thus must be determined experimentally.
Surprisingly binary alloys made of tin and silver or copper and especially tertiary alloys made of tin, silver and copper have excellent properties in phosphoric acid electrolytes. Tin as pure metal leads to hydrogen generation at the cathode in acid electrolytes and thus can not be used for this purpose. Already small percentages of silver or copper in the tin alloy reduces the electro positive properties of the tin. It has been shown that even an amount of 0.1 to 3% of silver and/or copper are sufficient to cut down the hydrogen formation over the whole operating temperature range to an acceptable extent. Also higher amounts of silver or copper in the alloy are possible but with regard to the yield of the material and in view of the manufacturing cost, they are less attractive.
The alloys are largely corrosion resistant over the relevant temperature range and generate a sufficient electrochemical potential to reduce the oxygen at the cathode. This works especially well when silver or gold plated etched parts are used as cathode material, their basic material being a copper alloy with a part of iron or phosphor. These are characterized by good mechanical properties, good electrical conductivity and can be coated galvanic with gold or silver layers that are dense and adhere very well.
In case low sensor currents are desirable, a fine wire or a small band made of silver, gold or silver plated copper are adequate cathodes. It should be placed directly behind the diffusion membrane, in contact with the electrolyte and have a contact wire that is threaded through the housing to the outside. The contact wire can be glued to the housing, welded ultrasonic or thermal with the plastic to avoid any leaking of the electrolyte from the housing. The passageway of the contact wire should be configured such that a minimum amount of its surface is in contact with the electrolyte. As small amounts of oxygen are solved in the electrolyte, this area would contribute to the base current of the sensor and impair the sensor behavior in atmospheres with low oxygen content.
The composition of the electrolyte influences the function of the sensor as well. In combination with the described anode materials, the best results can be obtained with strong phosphoric acid solutions. These solutions have weak hygroscopic properties beside their good electrochemical properties. The hygroscopic properties counteract a drying out of the electrolyte when the sensor is exposed to dry working conditions, thus contributing to a long lifetime of the sensor even at tough ambient conditions.
Solutions with higher pH can be used as well in case a long sensor lifetime is of less importance. In this case, phosphoric acid solutions buffered with their salts can be used as electrolyte. It has been shown that solutions with a pH up to 7 gave good results.
With a pH above 7, pure tin can be used as an anode material, but then the hydrogen formation starts at lower temperatures than with doped tin. Very good results can be obtained with aqueous solutions of cesium salts, especially with cesium hydroxide, cesium carbonate, cesium hydrogen carbonate and cesium acetate, or a mixture of them. These salts have very good solubility in water, are partially hygroscopic and contribute to a long lifetime of the sensor. At higher concentrations, the amount of oxygen dissolved in the electrolyte can be reduced due to the good solubility of the cesium salts. This leads to short response times and a low base current of the sensor.
It has been found that the addition of anionic or cationic tensides to the electrolyte is beneficial. These secure good wetting of all surfaces in the sensor and thus leads to a very repeatable sensor behavior. Amongst others, Triton X-100 and QS-44 can be used as tensides.
Sensors manufactured in this way show a stable and linear signal to the partial pressure of oxygen over a wide temperature range. The sensor current can be controlled by the configuration of the cathode surface in such a way that it is compatible to the sensors with lead anodes that exist on the market today. This guarantees the backwards compatibility that is required for instruments which are already on the market.
The design geometry of the anode can be as described in DE 199 02 509. This ensures a steady consumption of the anode.
On exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a galvanic, electrochemical sensor, illustrated in
The oxygen that diffuses through the membrane (3) reaches the cathode where it is reduced. At the anode (2), metal ions get dissolved according to Faradays law or the metal is turned into its metal phosphate.
As can be seen from
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.
