This project aims at providing a new method of Regenerative Braking, by deactivating fuel supply and ignition during periods of braking and providing a valve to divert the outlet air from the cylinder to a storage tank, acting as a reciprocating compressor.
Aim:
The main aim of developing this device is to provide drug free therapy for insomnia without any side effects and in cost effective manner.
Objective:
1. To develop a device to generate sleep inducing stimuli such as audio, visual and acupressure.
The objective of the project is to develop cost effective, light weight and user friendly manually operated wheel chair with stair climbing and steep slope climbing facility for elderly people/physically challenged persons.
Smart Solar geyser:- Present day Solar water heaters are bulky and needs strong roof and pipe line from area of utility till the roof top. The major problems faced are:
1. Limited usage, like individual houses.
This project aims to provide an effective and easier way to access history of medical prescriptions by patients with minimum effort. It has the following advantages:
– Ease of viewing the history of medical prescription.
– Very reliable (can receive messages even if the app is not on).

Two-stroke engines have two important advantages over four-stroke engines: They are simpler and lighter, and they produce about twice as much power. So why do cars and trucks use four-stroke engines? There are four main reasons:
•
My idea to Create the Future of transportation, is to link urban centers and help eliminate traffic and pollution by employing renewable energy and one of the most powerful forces in nature, falling water, to operate a Hyperloop.
The major problem nowadays faced by the countries is oil spill in the ocean through by which oil is transported which leads to loss in biodiversity of marine species as well as for humans.
This project is focused on the design and aerodynamic improvement of a light sport aircraft (LSA).
At the start of the project a market research and analysis study has been made, based on the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) study,
