In total, the Taiwan delegation snagged three bronze, 14 silver, 19 gold, and three special award medals, giving Taiwan the second most medals of any delegation at the competition after the host country Poland. One Taiwanese inventor that received lots of attention at the show was Professor Hsu Tzu-kuei (徐子圭) from the Air Force Institute of Technology, whose invention was dubbed the “Noah’s Ark of green energy technology.”
According to Liberty Times, Hsu, along with Professor Tai Chang-hsien (戴昌賢) from National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, created a system to convert water, sunlight, and air into a burnable fuel source.
