For this purpose, there is a need for not only an efficient coolant but also an efficient
coolant system through which the liquid coolant is to be sprayed. The present work
gives the design and layout of an electro-mechanical setup with intelligent control
for the aforementioned purpose while also looking into the broad field of coolant
technology, particularly Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). The setup consisting
of a thermocouple feeds temperature as an input to the microcontroller which then
signals a system of servomotors, position sensors, end switches, and pressure
regulators which then control the nozzle setup (nozzle stand and nozzle) for effective
cooling.
This project aims to create an intuitive and robust deployment process that seamlessly
responds to user needs. The project incorporates an Arduino board and stepper
motor, leveraging its programming capabilities to control and optimize the
deployment process. Furthermore, the project integrates a rain sensor into the device
which acts as an early detection system, triggering either by setting off a visual signal
using a light indicator or an audible signal, enabling users to proactively prepare for
changing weather conditions. Through the fusion of these elements, the project
envisions a canopy that combines innovative technology with practical user benefits,
elevating the standards of modern weather protection solutions
In the ever-evolving field of maritime technology, the need for advanced propulsion
systems capable of enhancing vessel performance has become essential. This project
deals with the design and fabrication of a Stealth Propulsion System for Marine
Vessels, specifically focusing on the Magneto Hydrodynamic (MHD) thruster which
uses the principle of Lorentz force.
Key elements of the project include the design and optimization of the MHD
thruster's magnetic field configuration, the development of a robust power supply
system, and the fabrication of a compact and efficient thruster unit. This innovative
propulsion system has the potential to revolutionize the maritime industry by
significantly reducing the noise footprint of vessels, making them less detectable by
both adversaries and marine life, thereby contributing to environmental conservation
efforts.
This project is created in a way that minimizes the dangerous situations for the rescue
team and maximizes the search operations for locating survivors under the rubble. In
this project we use a Hexapod robot for the disaster response team, the robot is
remote-controlled by the disaster response team to detect the presence of any
survivors under a collapsed structure, and it uses c02 gas sensors to detect the c02
concentration present in the disaster zone. It also uses a non-contact thermal sensor to
detect the temperature of the survivors under the rubbles. It gathers all the
information from the sensors and sends it to the disaster team. Hexapod has six legs
which help the robot to climb the rocks and move quickly in the disaster zone, these
six legs move in co-ordination according to the code written in the Arduino board,
and the legs are moved with the help of servo motors which are connected to the
Arduino board. The hexapod is remotely controlled by the response team. The
project is divided into two stages, in stage 1 we design the hexapod base and legs in
3D modeling software and develop the code required to run the hexapod. In project
stage 2, we Fabricated the hexapod by 3D printing assembled the robot with an
electronics part, and installed the communication with the remote-controlled app.
In previous Hexapods or Disaster management areas, they used UGVs to collect the
data and assist the am in difficult operations. The major difference is that we are
using a Hexapod, which can travel quickly and climb better than other robots in
disaster response teams. The benefits of using this First responder hexapod are to
decrease the saving time in rescue operations, sensing the survivors under the rubbles,
and sending the information quickly to the response team, so that the team can rescue
the survivors. It aims at enhancing its effectiveness and contribution to disaster
response efforts.
Electric vehicles have now hit the road worldwide and are slowly growing in
numbers. Apart from environmental benefits electric vehicles have also proven
helpful in reducing the cost of travel by replacing fuel with way cheaper electricity.
However electric vehicles have 2 major disadvantages:
Well, here we develop an EV charging system that solves both these problems with a
unique innovative solution. This EV charging system delivers the following benefits:
The system makes use of a solar panel, battery, transformer, regulator circuitry,
copper coils, AC to DC converter, ‘AT-mega controller’ and LCD display to develop
the system. This system demonstrates how electric vehicles can be charged while
moving on road, eliminating the need to stop for charging. The solar panel is used to
power the battery through an ‘MPPT solar charge controller’. The battery is charged
and stores DC power. The DC power now needs to be converted to AC for
transmission. For this purpose, we use a transformer. Then again, the power
generated through the solar charge controller regulates the power from it into the
battery. Thus, the system demonstrates a solar-powered wireless charging system for
electric vehicles that can be integrated into the road.
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has paved the way for innovative
technologies, including internet-controlled transport cars. This is a transport car to
deploy and transport important materials such as food to flood-affected citizens or
arms to military personnel or transport medicine during times like pandemics when
people cannot easily go. Here we can use internet-controlled robot vehicles to
transport the required materials or goods to the destination from anywhere in the world
as long as there is an internet connection between the robot and the controller which
may be a computer or a mobile phone. The transport car houses a cabinet that is
servo controlled opens and closes on command and has a sufficient storage area. The
car is a robust minivan that can go over small obstacles with ease and has a camera
feedback system through which we can see what the robot is seeing and control the
robot through it.
The basic components required for building the robot are a Robust Robot chassis,
Raspberry PL 4, Wi-Fi module, Raspberry PL camera module, Motor Driver Board,
4 wheels, 4 DC Servo motors, and a smartphone or a computer to control the car. In
the first step, we design and simulate the working Of the components in Tinker CAD,
Blynk, or Sketch. Then build a prototype to test the working of the concept.
