The Department of Mechanical Engineering, OmDayal Group of Institutions, had showcased three Projects in the Technical Fest (Voyage 2025), organized by IIC and IQAC, ODGI, on 11th and 12th of April, 2025.

The theme of the projects was “Micro Marvels: Engineering the Future in Miniature”. The details of the projects are as follows:

The Modular Miniature Lathe

The Modular Miniature Lathe Img
The Modular Miniature Lathe is an innovative creation in the field of manufacturing and mechanical machining systems. Targeting the Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering sector, the machine may serve the small-scale industries, vocational training institutes, engineering colleges, cottage and rural industrial units, home-based manufacturing startups, that aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives. Its advantages include affordability and scalability for MSMEs and educational use, lightweight portability for remote and rural applications, support for hands-on technical training, reduced entry barriers for small-scale machining, and facilitation of rapid prototyping and product design education. The lathe is applicable in mechanical workshops, skill development centers, portable repair stations, STEM and DIY education, and artisan tool development. The novelty of this first-of-its-kind modular miniature lathe lies in its unique integration of a modular architecture tailored for educational, industrial, and low-resource settings, addressing the limitations of conventional lathe systems in terms of portability, affordability, and adaptability, thus distinguishing it from standard lathe designs currently available in the market.

Compact Wind Power Generator

Compact Wind Power Generator Img
Compact wind power generators for two/four-wheelers are innovative, small-scale turbines designed to harness wind energy and generate electricity for vehicles. The concept involves mounting lightweight, aerodynamic turbines on the vehicle to capture airflow during motion, converting kinetic energy into electrical power via a generator. This power can charge batteries or directly support onboard systems. Applications focus on electric scooters, motorcycles, or small cars, particularly for extending range in hybrid or electric vehicles (EVs). They’re ideal for eco-conscious commuters, delivery services, or off-road enthusiasts needing portable energy in remote areas. Advantages include sustainability, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and supplementing battery life without external charging. Their compact size ensures minimal added weight, and they can integrate with solar panels for hybrid charging. However, limitations include dependency on vehicle speed and wind conditions. Efficiency drops in urban stop-and-go traffic, and installation may increase the drag. Future scope lies in advanced materials like carbon composites for durability, smarter turbines with variable blade angles, and integration with regenerative braking systems. As EV adoption grows, compact wind generators could become a standard range-extending feature, especially for long-distance travel, enhancing energy autonomy and sustainability. The novelty of the present work lies in using an Archimedes Spiral Turbine (AST) in place of traditional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) or Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). Its spiral design offers a unique approach to capturing wind energy, potentially revolutionizing vehicle-mounted systems.

Instant Cooling Sipper

Instant Cooling Sipper Img
An Instant Cooling Sipper powered by a Peltier module offers a cutting-edge solution for chilling beverages on demand. The Peltier module operates on the thermoelectric principle, where an electric current flows through two dissimilar materials, creating a temperature difference. This phenomenon, known as the Peltier effect, causes one side of the module to absorb heat while the other releases it. In the sipper, the cold side is positioned to cool the liquid inside the container, rapidly lowering its temperature, while the hot side dissipates heat into the surrounding air, often aided by a small fan or heatsink for efficiency. This design is compact, portable, and eliminates the need for traditional refrigerants or bulky cooling systems, making it ideal for personal use. The sipper can be powered by a rechargeable battery or USB, enhancing its convenience for outdoor activities, travel, or daily commutes. Unlike conventional cooling methods that require pre-chilling or ice, the Peltier-based sipper provides instant results, transforming a warm drink into a refreshing one in minutes. While energy consumption and cooling capacity depend on the module’s size and power, advancements in thermoelectric materials continue to improve its performance, promising an eco-friendly, efficient way to enjoy cold beverages anytime, anywhere.
