Now they should use their expertise to figure out a way to get the government to properly enforce the motor vehicle laws and rid the highways of fume belching decrepit trucks and cars. I find it ironic that expat car imports are so restricted when I see what's actually on the DR roads. Then again, it's all about taxes, not the environmental impact.

Such good news of a Dominican accomplishment and hardly anyone says anything.

Had it been about some Dominican lowlife commiting some crime, this thread would had been three pages long by now.

Just saying...

It's in the DR1 News today:
INTEC gets first university patent
INTEC mechatronics student Francarlos Bencosme and UASD electrical engineering student Keyron Figueroa, two 21-year old high school friends, are the inventors of a vehicle engine catalytic converter that has become the first patent to be registered by a Dominican university. This catalytic converter is innovative in that it enters into operation as soon as the vehicle is turned on. It can also be used by industries that use combustion engines.
Intec University has registered the catalytic converter that reduces direct pollution by 90%. As reported in Diario Libre, the two friends had the idea for the system when they were in junior year in high school. It took them three years to build the prototype with the help of a RD$150,000 from an entrepreneurship fund at INTEC.
INTEC took on the task of registering the patent at the National Industrial Property Office (Onapi) thus becoming the country’s first university to be awarded an invention patent.
They now want to obtain an international patent and take the invention abroad.
Bencosme is thinking big. “Toyota Motors would be a great option,” he stated.
