The primary school boy from the Khmer made an automatic poisonous quail egg peeling machine

The device was successfully invented after only 30 days of testing. In particular, the price of the device is only about 300,000 - 400,000 VND.

Thach Huynh Vinh Nghi, an ethnic Khmer student who invented the "automatic quail egg peeling machine", has just won the first prize in the Vinh Long Children and Young People Creative Contest 2019.

Ms. Lam Thi Nghiep, Principal of Tan My B Primary School, Tan My Commune, Tra On District, Vinh Long Province could not hide her joy and pride when talking about Thach Huynh Vinh Nghi, a student of ethnic Khmer. The school excelled over 8,766 heavy competitors to win the first prize in Vinh Long Province Youth and Young People Creative Contest 2019, with an " automatic quail egg peeler" .

Mr. Pham Van Hong, Deputy Director of Vinh Long Department of Education and Training, presented the first prize to students at the Vinh Long Province Youth and Young People Creative Contest 2019 on October 5, 2019.Thạch Huỳnh Vĩnh Nghi stood at the far right (the first row).

Ms. Nghiep said: 'Thach Huynh Vinh Nghi is a 5th grader (in the school year 2018-2019, now I am in the 6th grade of Tan My Secondary School). She is continuously a good student of the school for 5 consecutive years; very passionate about creating models of science and technology (science and technology); study all subjects well; fully participate in the literary - physical - fine movements of the school; obedient and respectful to teachers; wholeheartedly help you in your studies'.

We went to Vinh Nghi's house on the countryside road of Tra Mon hamlet, Tan My commune to learn more about the pupil in the remote area where more than 90% of the households are ethnic Khmer.

In his small, pretty neat study corner. Vinh Nghi is very shy, shy, shy and often smiles. She shared: 'When I was young, I enjoyed watching science programs to invent scientific equipment to help farmers reduce their hardships'.

She said: "Once I went to my hometown to play (in Cho Gao district, Tien Giang province), I saw many people here quite wasting time peeling quail eggs and chicken eggs when selling and eating. Manual peeling does not clean the thin outer shell of the egg's intestines, which is a health risk, so I 'researched' this machine. '

Thach Huynh Vinh Nghi in his study corner.

From a very simple thought, close to daily life, Vinh Nghi's 'automatic quail egg peeler' was born after 30 days of testing.

Thach Nhieu, three of Vinh Nghi's children said: 'Nghi has a passion for inventing very strange tools. Seeing that, my family always supports and encourages my children. Regarding this machine, Nghi has lost sleep and sleep because of it. At midnight, Nghi woke up to think and tried and tried again and again. When the model won the first prize at the provincial level in 2019 and was participating in the national competition, his grandchildren cried forever for happiness'.

Automatic quail egg peeling machine invented by Vinh Nghi runs on electricity. Above is a tray of hard-boiled quail eggs, a clean tap of water flowing continuously. Underneath are 2 hard plastic injection molding rods that can adjust the pressing distance on a sieve. Under the sieve is a slide to catch the molted eggs and eggshell. When put each egg in the tray, quail eggs will go down to the bottom dock and crushed outer shell; water flowing from the tray helps to remove the eggshell and thin film surrounding the egg's intestines, then the eggs will slide down the trough to the clean egg container; The split shell also goes out to the outer basket.

This machine has the capacity of peeling 80 eggs / 1 minute and the efficiency is over 95%. According to Vinh Nghi, the remaining 5% is due to the egg being too mature, hard shell will follow the trough to slide out to be eliminated. revoke. Vinh Nghi estimates the cost of each device is only about 300 to 400,000 VND / machine.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Y, teacher of Tan My B Elementary School, a good partner of Vinh Nghi commented: 'Vinh Nghi has a very unique and creative creativity, the product that I invented has brought high efficiency, very close to people's daily life, low cost, easy to implement. Especially my model is directed towards the lives of the Khmer people, to the remote and rural areas'.

Talking about her dream in the future, Thach Huynh Vinh Nghi confided: 'I will study well to pursue business administration. Besides, if possible, I will 'build' an automatic water supply machine for chicken farms; upgrade quail eggshell machine to a multi-purpose shell machine that can peel chicken, duck and other eggs; Automatic paper cutting scissors to reduce mother and daughter's effort (my mother is now a school librarian) .
