Real Time Instrument Cluster On Mobile
Innovation in the field of smart cars is rampant given the current advancement in technologies. Digitizing the instrument cluster is gaining popularity with new feature added in every release of a newer version.
While we drive the vehicle in hilly areas and during driving due to any reason we are forced to stop the car and then we apply the hand brakes to hold the vehicle. But the problem is that it locks the vehicle in both directions, so we have to operate accelerator,
The revolutionary and yet simple design of the Gemini Electric Motor promises to become the worlds most energy efficient electric motor and generator.
The Gemini produces optimum rotational power and torque by using Both sides of the energised coils, and it does so without consuming any additional energy. The Gemini achieves its outstanding performance by providing in its ingenious design,
The device will consist of following things:-
-Erasing arm slides left to right and vice-versa on the black board erasing the written things on it.
-It has water spray mechanism which will spray a little water on the black board while erasing the black board.
-It also has a special function called as ‘skip’
Nowadays there are many devices and machines are used to sow seed in the farmlands. They are too big, and have high operating and maintenance cost. in order to reduce the operating and maintenance cost we proposed this project.
We as a team got an idea to make an innovative product for agroindustry in Indian. Indian farmers are nowadays changing from old farm techniques to modern age techniques and tools. The modern tools and machinery used for harvesting makes manual work simple and less time consuming,
Abstract— In PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), by modulating the relative time intervals corresponding to conduction and non-conduction periods, it is possible to spread the voltage during the period in such a way as to make the conduction time of the switching device practically proportional to the instantaneous value of the fundamental.
Abstract—Providing street lighting is one the most important and expensive responsibilities of a city. Street lighting is a particularly critical concern for public authorities in developing countries because of its strategic importance for economic and social stability. Continuous efforts are being made for alternative and sustainable power generation techniques. A well-designed,
The present work highlights the design and development of a prototype for automating plastering work in construction industry. The building construction is one of the most unfamiliar R&D activities in the robotics and automation community. Machines are capable of giving higher output with accuracy, precision and quality over a longer period of time than skilled manpower.
