Our idea is to invent a device which can utilise the large amount of wind energy which is otherwise wasted. As today the fossil fuel is decreasing rampantly, and if another alternative will not be found in a few years then it will put great stress on the fossil fuels and as a result on the future generation.
The main goal of our invention was to heal burns more effectively than those treatment in the market. It has many potential benefits; first it reduces the healing duration compared to famous treatments, and it has no side effects being made from 100% natural materials, and it leaves no scars,
One of the most distraction of a driver during night driving in main roads are the heavy intensity of the head lamp of the opposite vehicle.
It may cause heavy casuality if the get distracted with the lamp of the vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
If a light proximity sensor is installed in front of the car,
The use of valves in internal combustion engine is mandatory since the conception of four stroke engine. There are many different types of valves but the ones used in I.C engines are the poppet type.
The valve shall be split into two, Solenoid actuators could be used for the opening and closing of the valves.
Parenting is not an easy task. Good parenting requires the parent to quickly respond to the needs of their child.

There are certain areas within a city which require better safety systems when it comes to driving. Residential areas and schools for example feature a high pedestrian activity which increases the risk of accidents. In order to do that, speed limiters have been installed on the road,
ABSTRACT:
The use of sensors has proved to be beneficiary in the design of adaptive and safety measures for automobiles. Traffic squares and crossovers are amongst the major accident prone areas;
My concept proposes the use of drones to grab fruit from trees. Drone flies up and park on the air near the fruit in such a manner that the fruit enters the mouth of the drone, then using a 360 degree razor blade it separates the fruit from the branch.
A NOVEL METHOD FOR SELF REGULATED COIL WINDING MACHINE
The conventional coil winding machine winds copper wire onto a former (winding fixture). The number of slots in the former depends upon the design class of the motor. Mechanical counters are used to count the number of turns wound up on the former.
To overcome the difficulties pertaining to painting the exterior walls, herewith we propose a fully automated wall painting system powered by a micro controller. The system has an movable overhead machine consisting of paint storage tank, air compressor to spray the paint, a display and keyboard interface to control the input operations.
