Government across the world is encouraging the research and usage of alternate fuels but there is no testing facility easily available and even very hard one with a jet engine.
To Provide
Portable and easily accessible alternate fuel testing laboratory for engineering colleges and universities,
Our design addresses the challenge of efficiently handling rings that are either stacked or randomly spread on the floor. Manual handling of such small items can be labor-intensive, error-prone, and time-consuming, especially in industrial and logistical settings where precision and efficiency are critical.
The windshields, windows, and covers of aircrafts, cars, vehicles, and cameras must endure harsh environments. Snow and ice buildup pose significant risks in cold weather, while fogging can obscure the pilot’s or driver’s view, compromising safety. Icing and fogging on cameras also impact their operational effectiveness.
Wood has long been a cornerstone material in construction and design, yet traditional subtractive manufacturing methods often result in significant wood waste and elevated production costs. In contrast, additive manufacturing reduces material waste and production costs significantly, as it builds structures layer by layer,
The SM-920 is a revolutionary twin engine single aisle commercial airliner that will set a new standard for efficiency, performance, eloquence and style. It is the first airliner to benefit from an all new configuration in the last 50 years. With its distinguished style,
This project aims to enhance the efficiency and performance of rugged boards, essential for industrial, military, and aerospace applications. Key improvements focus on thermal management, power efficiency, structural integrity, and component reliability. Advanced cooling techniques, energy-efficient components, and robust materials will be employed to optimize thermal dissipation,
In the event of a vehicle crash, a series of SMS warnings are dispatched to nearby hospitals, ambulance services, and neighbors to ensure swift response and assistance. These messages are designed to convey critical information effectively, alerting hospitals and ambulances to prepare for potential casualties and incoming patients.
