The latest version of the Aqualizer is version 1.1. This version has been available since 24 December 2008. We recommend that you use this version. You can easily see whether you've got this version installed. Version 1.0 doesn't include version information and all later versions do.
We cannot refrain from telling you why we thought the Aqualizer was worth making a website about. It is mainly because we won the first prize at a research-contest at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (RUG). Here you can find some information about the contest and a little movie of the day when all the presentations were given. It is in Dutch, though.

An article about this contest appeared in the Dutch beta magazine Explore:

Because we won this prize, we were allowed to participate in the International Conference for Young Scientists (ICYS) in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. This was an international research-contest, were High School students from all over the world had to present the research they had done. At this conference we won a first prize again in the category Engineering. On the following website, you can read more about ICYS 2008.
Furthermore, a press report appeared at the website of the RUG, in Dutch:
