SPARK-enough to ignite

This project uses a particular band of frequency, which is being transmit from end and is received at another end than this frequency is used to generate DC.

The setup can be used for transmission of electricity in future from space stations to meet the growing demand of electricity.

Work is still going on it to improve the efficiency

Spirit

This project aims to fulfill static touch-screen applications such as ATM’s and railway reservation in a very cost effective way.
Matrix arrangement of lasers and light dependent resistors(LDR) is used over monitor screen. When finger is placed over screen, the change in resistance is sensed by the LDR. The LDR’s resistance is given as an input to comparator circuit, which generates appropriate voltage to be given to the microcontroller. Microcontroller is interfaced with the computer with serial/parallel port with appropriate cable.
We have prepared a simple GUI environment with C++ programming. There are at most 8 icons on screen, so we have assigned them a predefined value in form of array, each consisting of 8 unique digits in form of 0’s and 1’s. We used instructions inport and outport at appropriate place to fetch stream of 8-bits from the controller. This is then compared with the value in the array. Accordingly the icon selected by user gets explored.


Application of the project ranges from static touch screen such as ATM’s, Reservation systems, inquiry systems etc where a common person can access information merely by a touch!
We aim to provide a cost-efficient touch screen application on every existing CRT system. Here as students, we have implemented the concept at about RS 700/-(Touch Screen overlays available today in market costs about 12000 Rs.)
We can also make it dynamic by implementing the concept on any type of panel like LCD’s just by modifying some aspects of alignment of LDR’s and Lasers.

Dementors

The eruption of low intensity conflicts and terrorism waves at the beginning of the 21st century caused further development in the techniques and methods of Bomb Disposal. Since explosives pose great risk to the public and especially to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Operator, trying to render them safe. Therefore, new methods like greater reliance on remote techniques, such as advanced remotely operated vehicles (EOD robots) evolved.


This model is microcontroller based semi automatic legged robot. It can diffuse live bomb with the help of an automated arm. It can be guided by a base station. The robot is equipped with a unique walking mechanism which make it different from other wheeled robots thus making it quite capable of reaching tuff locations.

Delta

The project is a delta wing aircraft of 50*50 sq.cm. dimensions. The challenge of the project was to make a small aircraft and also make it light enough which has sufficient strength to sustain the aerodynamic forces while flying.


A delta wing generates more lift in comparison to a normal wing and the stalling angle increases. So this plane can fly at a higher angle of attack.

Flapping of wings

This is a project with very basic ideas implemented in an efficient manner.It’s a working model of a bird with flapping wings.The main attaraction is that it runs on battery.

The same principles can be used in the making of MAV(micro aero vehicles)that can have applications like for research or for spying when fitted with cameras or so.
