It's a very unique project, the idea for which came from a disc spinning on string, with which almost all of us have played in our childhood. In this project a combination of three gears are used, arranged so that they can be rotated at very high RPM with very high torque.
During construction so much laborious work is done to transfer bricks, cement, soil etc to higher floors. And this process requires so many workers at every site and even present elevators used for this purpose are very costly and are very time consuming to install.
A FRESH IDEA
The current method of extraction of material from a flexible tube (be it toothpaste, cosmetic products, food products, etc.) is to apply pressure to the flexible tube so at to push the material towards the opening in the tube. This pressure also results in some of the material inevitably going in the opposite direction,
Many consumer products are generating vibrations during their operation. For example a bean to cup coffee machine, a kitchen hood, a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner or a DVD projector. Often these vibrations cause noise emissions, e.g. if sound-emitting panels are excited.
Extreme advances in science and technology have opened up unlimited possibilities for development and creation of new products.
Enthusiasts and Hobbyists generally while working with electronics face a common problem to test their circuit designs, which is getting a right power source which could power their system.
And we try to get batteries and try to combine them to get the right supply,
Our idea is to invent a device which can utilise the large amount of wind energy which is otherwise wasted. As today the fossil fuel is decreasing rampantly, and if another alternative will not be found in a few years then it will put great stress on the fossil fuels and as a result on the future generation.
The main goal of our invention was to heal burns more effectively than those treatment in the market. It has many potential benefits; first it reduces the healing duration compared to famous treatments, and it has no side effects being made from 100% natural materials, and it leaves no scars,
One of the most distraction of a driver during night driving in main roads are the heavy intensity of the head lamp of the opposite vehicle.
It may cause heavy casuality if the get distracted with the lamp of the vehicle coming from the opposite direction.

The use of valves in internal combustion engine is mandatory since the conception of four stroke engine. There are many different types of valves but the ones used in I.C engines are the poppet type.
The valve shall be split into two, Solenoid actuators could be used for the opening and closing of the valves.
