Manufacturing & Materials
This project focuses on developing a simple and cost-effective impact testing rig using basic sensors and electronics to evaluate materials under low-energy impacts. Commercial testing machines like Charpy and Izod are commonly used, but they are often expensive (₹5–10 lakh commercial systems) and not easily accessible for small institutions or student-level research.
EcoSia® Inorganic Silicate Coating – Key Features & Advantages
EcoSia is a next-generation mineral paint engineered from potassium silicate, nanoscale ceramic fillers and functional additives. Unlike conventional acrylic or epoxy systems that form a plastic film, EcoSia reacts chemically with mineral or metal substrates to create a glass-ceramic network that is physically anchored (micro-silicification).
The Next-Gen Smart Wheelchair is an advanced mobility solution designed to empower individuals with physical disabilities, including visually impaired users. It integrates Braille-script controls for seamless navigation, ensuring inclusivity and ease of use. A GPS module with voice assistance enhances real-time location tracking, helping users navigate safely while allowing caregivers to monitor movement remotely.
As a lifelong reader, I was inspired by the book, “The Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson. In the book, a very advanced AI embedded into an indestructible book helps a little girl overcome her circumstances. This is my conception of a similar idea using extrapolations of current technology in the fields of material science and very advanced manufacturing.

XTB™ expected benefits are light weight, superior strength, and ease of fabrication for products requiring a frame or support structure.
The XTB™ is a fabricated or extruded X section of carbon fiber crisscross wrapped in a high tensile Kevlar thread.
Plastics extrusion die design is a challenging and complex task, especially for products with irregular cross-sectional shapes. The profile (shape and dimensions) of the die exit plate plays a crucial role in determining the final extrudate cross-section.
Plastic waste from single-use water bottles is a major environmental problem, polluting landfills and oceans worldwide. Despite recycling efforts, much plastic remains improperly disposed of. Meanwhile, 3D printing’s rapid growth demands affordable, sustainable filament materials. Converting waste bottles into 3D printing filament offers an eco-friendly solution, reducing pollution and providing a cost-effective resource.
INSPIRATION
The inspiration for this instrument comes from the teachings of Rumi. Rumi frequently spoke of love as a boundless force that dissolves all religious, ethnic, and national differences. This instrument incorporates symbols of peace and love, such as a dove with an olive branch, a candle, and a lotus.
The sintering method for diamond grains was first reported by Bundy et al. in 19631). This technique bonds diamond grains together to form bulk diamond. However, residual cobalt within the diamond structure can degrade its properties. As an alternative,
Uplift Drones is a pioneering company dedicated to transforming disposable plastic bottles into high-performance drones. Our mission is to reduce environmental impact while delivering cutting-edge drone technology for various industries.
This project focuses on repurposing waste plastic bottles into lightweight, durable drone frames. The process begins with collecting and cleaning used plastic bottles.
