Congratulations for the winning colleagues.

May the prizes help you cover all your bills and push your hard work forward.

So updates: Unfortunately I am forced to drop the pollution reduction project for Citizen Scientist round.

Somehow the faith shaped my path that starting from this moment, I am no longer able to rent the access to the required equipment in order to perform the automobile exhaust gases analysis in a scientific way.

This is again becoming true: "there is no way another small victory from that place will ever be allowed."

In other words, I will no longer be successful in getting access to the following equipment:

- 1 x MTI M200 Gas Chromatograph:

- 1 x Agilent Gas Chromatograph:

- 1 x Total Hydrocarbons Gas Detector

- Carrier and Calibration Gases: Helium (carrier gas for chromatographs), Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, various nitrate-based and hydrocarbon-based gases;

- 1 x ANAX-500 Well Drilling Site Mud Logging Server - in order to perform the required calculations and graph everything into professional charts using industry-certified equipment.

This picture shows the interior of a Well Site Mud Logging Cabin which performs - among other functions - the gas analysis. From top to bottom: Anax-500 server, Agilent Gas Cromatograph, Depth controller, Total Gas Detector and backup Total Gas Detector.

Citizen Scientist will probably be covered with vibration processing only.

Probably.

I have a promise for access to an ancient, 40 years old Chromatography Station which is heavy and fits inside a truck. That's what I could get so far. And I will have to fix it first. So back to trash dump.

Later edit [at round finish]: the work for Citizen Scientist round was not acknowledged. Not as published blog article, not as a win acknowledgement. Just as predicted on the title.

No further comments.
