صَنَعَ خَمْسَةُ طُلَّابٍ مِنْ جَامِعَةِ الْمَلِكِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَوَّامَةً لِلْبَحْثِ فِي الْبَحْرِ. تَغُوصُ الْعَوَّامَةُ وَتَصْعَدُ، وَتُسَجِّلُ الْعُمْقَ وَالضَّغْطَ وَدَرَجَةَ الْحَرَارَةِ.

تَسْتَخْدِمُ الْعَوَّامَةُ حَقْنَةً وَمُحَرِّكًا لِتَغْيِيرِ كَمِّيَّةِ الْمَاءِ فِي نِظَامِهَا. وَهٰكَذَا تَتَحَرَّكُ إِلَى أَعْلَى وَإِلَى أَسْفَلَ مِنْ دُونِ مَرَاوِحَ تَعْمَلُ دَائِمًا. وَعَمِلَ الطُّلَّابُ عَلَى الْمَشْرُوعِ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ أَوْ سَبْعَةً.

قَدْ تُسَاعِدُ الْعَوَّامَةُ الْعُلَمَاءَ عَلَى جَمْعِ مَعْلُومَاتٍ مِنْ أَعْمَاقٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ. وَلٰكِنْ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَخْتَبِرَ الْفَرِيقُ دِقَّتَهَا وَاسْتِخْدَامَهَا لِلطَّاقَةِ. وَعَرَضَ الطُّلَّابُ الْجِهَازَ فِي بُطُولَةٍ عَالَمِيَّةٍ لِلرُّوبُوتَاتِ تَحْتَ الْمَاءِ، وَجَاءَ فَرِيقُهُمْ فِي الْمَرْتَبَةِ السَّابِعَةِ. وَنَشَرَتْ صَحِيفَةُ «عَرَبْ نِيُوز» هٰذَا الْخَبَرَ فِي ٢٧ أُكْتُوبَرَ ٢٠٢٦.

Saudi Students Build a Float to Collect Sea Data

Five students from King Abdulaziz University built a float for research in the sea. It dives and rises, and records depth, pressure, and temperature.

The float uses a syringe and a motor to change the amount of water in its system. This way, it moves up and down without propellers running all the time. The students worked on the project for six or seven months.

The float may help scientists collect information from different depths. But the team needs to test its accuracy and energy use. The students presented the device at an international underwater robotics championship, and their team placed seventh. Arab News published this report on October 27, 2026.
