The system is developed for the need of watering plants in the absence of people or less manpower .Also the system helps maintaining the appropriate amount of water required for the plants irrespective of the individuals. The system is based on Programmable logic Controllers commonly know as PLC. Along with PLC,
Multi-Purpose Desalination (MPD) is proposed to perform sea water desalination, while generates electricity and produces salt/minerals as a by-product using wave power.
MPD uses 100% ocean wave power, requires no electricity (Fig. 1).
Main facilities are located in the tidal area, that minimizes under water construction, and also operational and maintenance costs.
This proposes the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to aid in the detection and location of downed aircraft in a search and rescue scenario. Developments and innovations in the utilization of autonomous,
Electric cars have been around for quite some time now. Despite a few limitations such as the cap on top speed and the clumsy electric wires that are needed to charge the vehicle after use, it still has received a lukewarm response. With the increased clamour towards sustainable energy,

This is an attempt to lift water by using a piston cylinder assembly beneath a speed breaker on road. The ‘IN’ line of the cylinder will be connected to a reservoir on ground and ‘OUT’ line will be connected to a reservoir at a particular height with respect to the ground. The piston head will receive the vehicle tire.
This entry follows a similar one from my participation to the First Edition of CreateTheFutureContest.
