Features of design:
It requires small space.
Provide protection from animals, insects etc.
Low cooling load.
Fast and efficient response.
Design statement:
The instrument has following parts,
This innovation has been developed to make more efficient floor wiping by overcoming the problem of manual floor wiping.
The wiper is driven by electric motor instead of human effort to clean the floor more easily, fast and without uneven stops.
Water wave energy and wind energy are types of sustainable energy resources.
To use these enormous energy resources this turbine design has been developed.
The world will remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal for the rest of this century for the purpose of power production. But if we don’t think about this then the day is not far where they all will be depleted. That’
The exhaust of condenser machine in air conditioning machine delivers air current with considerable velocity. It is used to drive the wind turbine coupled to a generator to produce electrical energy.
We have tried this in bike exhaust and the results are positive.
We have designed a revolutionary new “Connected Vehicles” system which monitors every vehicle and connects them with each other. This multi-purpose system checks vehicle pollution, detect over-speed and traffic-signal violations, an anti-theft feature, automatic toll-amount collection. In case an unfortunate accident does occur,
My design idea relates to energy engineering and more particularly to the alternative energy technology of getting power from the fundamental forces of nature such as gravity, elasticity and magnetism.
The potential benefits of this design idea is getting renewable energy along with using sunlight, wind, tides, plant growth, and geothermal heat as sources of energy.
The Conductive adhesive has found their scope in various applications. To enlarge the scope and reduce the price of conductive adhesive and Conductive Ink, the synthesis of conductive adhesive in this product is made through Copper and Graphite.
The conductive adhesive is a replacement to the soldering for attaching electronic components to the circuit board.

PROBLEM:
Salt and other chemicals rust undercarriage components. Car-bottom rust is dangerous and expensive.
The undercarriage is vulnerable to damage due to lack of care. Salt and mud damage is a safety issue -- many undercarriage components cannot be rustproofed. The greatest need for non-collision car repair results from preventable undercarriage rust.
