pillion belt

This design is made with the intent of improving the safety of pillion riders on two wheelers. In the event of accident (front on collision) or sudden braking at high speed, the pillion rider is the first one to get thrown off due to sufficient/improper holding on the bike's supports and is in the highest danger of fatally wounded.

PRT Project

I have a proposal for a new transportation that would REPLACE the automobile. It involves merging an older concept called PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) with the newer innovations in automation demonstrated by the DARPA challenges and the Google driverless cars. The plan is to basically retrofit our current transportation infrastructure with a rail-based, shared,

Quad-Bike

We can build a QUAD-BIKE, and also we can design and fabricate it for an extremely low budget. It provides a platform for the undergraduate students to apply the principles of engineering science to expose their proficiency in the automotive world.The first main design goal is to keep the bike to maximum strength as possible. So,

Reduction of Parasitic Engine Power Loss

Description

Internal combustion engines with reciprocating pistons (1), connecting

rods (2), crank (3), block (4), and crankshaft (5) suffer parasitic power loss

from drag on parts moving as much as 180 mph in air ambient the crankcase.

Piston displacement flow crosses connecting rod and crank motion, each at

Reduction of Wind/Air Energy Transferred to High Speed Trains

Reduction of Air/Wind Energy Transfer to High Speed Trains

Vehicle designs have traditionally incorporated linear shapes to reduce aerodynamic forces. I.e. base region pressure drag, parasite drag, wake vortex shedding and pressure rise at underpasses and tunnels. However, wind is a non-linear force that increases vehicle instabilities, adding greater rolling resistance, fuel consumption and damage/wear to wheels or tires.

REFWD - Clutch mechanism

REFWD-CLUTCH MECHANISM

The flywheel and clutch disc are in contact to transmit the engine power to the wheels. Rotational motion is transmitted from the engine-flywheel to the gearbox by using a clutch-system which is based on frictional properties.

ACTIVATION OF CLUTCH

When the clutch pedal is loaded,

Regenerative (Magnetic) Braking

It is common knowledge that tapping all the feasible sources of energy and systems which prevent losses is the need of the hour. Currently, many such systems have been developed including “REGENERATIVE BRAKING.” The usual method for regenerative braking includes using a dynamo attached to the crankshaft which gets charged when the wheel rotates during idling. However,

Relief Vehicles

Our aim is to create Relief Vehicles for developing countries like India. Most of the cities in India have very narrow roads or lanes that cannot be easily accessed in times of emergency. We want to create a modification that is much cheaper, sustainable and available at a local level.

Remotely Driven Vehicles

India has more traffic congestion than any other nation in the world.Traffic congestion is a serious problem in most Indian metros. The scorching pace of economic growth and the growing incomes of India’s burgeoning middle class are only likely to make the situation worse. Public transport systems are overloaded,
