Projects

Mechanical Engineering department gives special emphasis and attention in bringing out the new idea and concept through different kinds of projects by the students. Some of the notable projects done are: Portable Drain Cleaner, Hands-Free Water Dispenser, Stair Climbing RC Robot, Geneva Conveyor Belt, Regenerative Braking System, Mechanical Arm, Vapour Compression Refrigerator, Fork Lift Controlled by Remote Sensing Technology, Go-Kart, Power Generation from Railway Track, Solar Greenhouse Dryer, Solar Pump, Solar Powered Air Compressor, Portable Vacuum Cleaner, Pelton Wheel, Segway, Automated Conveyor, Ram Pump, Hydraulic Robotics Arm, etc.

Portable Drain Cleaner:

A machine that segregates solid waste from a sewage or a flowing drain and prevents clogging. It is operated by a chain drive mechanism with a number of rakes attached to the drive. The moving rakes catch solid wastes from the sewage and trash them in the catcher. It can run on AC and Battery as well.

Hands-Free Water Dispenser:

A water dispenser model that limits the wastage of water in a wash basin. The system is a hygienic one as the opening and closing of the tap is entirely hands-free and is operated by tapping a pedal provided below the basin, with the feet.

Stair Climbing RC Robot:

A six-wheel Remote Controlled Robotic Car that can climb stairs, with loads on it. The front two pairs of rotating arms enable the robot to climb up steps without toppling. It can be used in search-and-rescue operations.

Geneva Conveyor Belt:

A working conveyor belt drive model, based on Geneva mechanism that generates an intermittent rotary motion from continuous rotation. It is use in Automation industry as cutting tool charger of CNC machine, Screw machine, Turret Lathe and drill.

Regenerative Braking System:

A working model of a braking system that explains the conversion of braking torque (energy) to electricity, which otherwise would have lost as heat energy.

Mechanical Arm:

This is a prototype of industrial robotic arm. It helps in material handling specially ‘pick and place’ in modern automotive industries, heavy steel manufacturing industries, etc.

Vapour Compression Refrigerator:

A low-cost small-scale refrigerator based on vapour compression system has been developed for domestic application. The refrigerator is capable of maintaining sub-zero temperature in the refrigerated space.

Fork Lift Controlled by Remote Sensing Technology:

It is one kind of Automated Guided Vehicle used for material handling in workshop, warehouse, railway station, airport etc.

Go-Kart:

A simplified prototype of four-wheeler capable of carrying approximately 200 kg load has been developed using a single cylinder four stroke 220 cc petrol engine with simplified driving mechanism and chassis.

Power Generation from Railway Track:

This project aims at generating electricity from the motion of train coaches on railway track. The power generated and stored can be utilised for signalling system, illuminating platforms, water purification etc.

Solar Greenhouse Dryer:

A small-scale experimental setup of solar greenhouse dryer operated on forced convection mode has been developed. It is used to dry various high value perishable products by the application of solar energy. It enhances the rate of drying as well as increases the quality of the product. It has considerable potential of CO2 mitigation.

Solar Pump:

Solar pump is a portable DC pump that draws power from a 12V 1A battery which is charged by a solar panel set at a suitable angle to catch the optimum solar insolation. The pump developed a discharge head of 10m.

Solar powered Air Compressor:

The prime mover of a solar compressor machine is an electric motor deriving energy from battery which is powered by a solar panel. It can be used to pressurize carbon dioxide to generate carbonated water.

Portable Vacuum Cleaner:

A portable vacuum cleaner has been developed by the students of Mechanical Engineering Department which is very handy to move about for domestic cleaning purpose. It can clear dust, dirt, sand particles from nooks and crannies of domestic furniture and household items.

Pelton Wheel:

It is a small head water turbine that generates enough energy to charge a 12V 1A battery by drawing water from a level of 10m.

Segway:

The Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery – powered electric vehicle used to move across distances in open space. Generally, it is used in shopping mall, airport etc. Our student built such a vehicle with a load capacity of 50 Kg.

Automated Conveyor:

The concept of this conveyer system is to run the conveyor belt at loaded condition only. It will automatically stop when the load is withdrawn, thus minimizing the power consumption. Our students used photo sensor and the master controller to actuate the movement of the belt.

Hydraulic Ram Pump:

Hydraulic ram pump is a device with which small quantities of water can be lift to higher level from the available large quantity of water at low head without the consumption of any electrical energy. Our students were successful to lift water at a height of 2.5 m.

Hydraulic Robotic Arm:

A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, operated by hydraulic power generally used in material handling equipment. Our students made a prototype of the same by using water as the driving fluid.
