Agriculture is the main revenue resource for many states in India. But labor community is more attracted towards new opportunities and higher pay hence the strength of the labor community is reduced. This is affecting the small scale industries such as coconut powder making industries. Today’

As the population is increasing gradually the sanitary problems, problems related to supplying basic needs, is increasing fiercely. In supply chains for supplying basic needs contains large number of and large distances of pipe lines circuit.
The most basic and biggest problems faced in this pipeline circuits are blockages. Even a small blockage can create bigger problems.
Abstract:
Evacuation slides in airplanes are only used for evacuating people during an emergency situation. My idea is to use these slides to save people from an airplane crash as well as to identify the spot where the plane has crash landed.
Contamination of soil and water seriously threatens the environment and human health, our habitats are vulnerable and, with the growing population, in great danger. Ecological Space Engineering (E.S.E.) is conducting research to find solutions to this environmental threat and with pride we present the “mycoremediating biodegradable closed ecological system”,
This entry presents the idea of design and manufacturing of an automatic corrugating machine. This machine is used for automatic develop and creation of helical formed slits on heat transfer tubes. In other way, the presenting machine transform a simple tube into corrugated ones by the use of plastic roll forming strategy.
This machine has two strategic stations,
This project is to fabricate a coconut husk remover with shell cutter. At
present coconut husk is being removed manually which employs more time and
more man power. This coconut husk remover peels off the coconut husk from
coconut fruit to obtain de-husked coconut fruit via pneumatic controlled dehusking
device. An operator is required to handle the machine during the dehusking
This 'Expander' enables a major improvement in Compressed Air Energy Systems ("CAES") used for storage and recovery of Grid-Scale energy. It eliminates the present burning of fuel during energy recovery. Instead, it relies on thermodynamic principles to transform heat (from the air compression ) stored at ~85C into >10MW electrical power.
A computational analysis is conducted to evaluate the effect of geometric features on crush behaviour. The objective of this project to modify existing frame for sports unity vehicle based on safety aspects. Reducing vehicle weight is critical to improving fuel economy, performance, size, and cost challenges associated based above requirement to full fill new frame design.
This is very simple.
An eductor is a very simple design, that in this case the "liquid impulsor" is a solution of Calcium Chloride (that is liquid at least under -50°C) to "disolve" CH4 Clathrates releasing the gas that will pump up a column of mud and gas. Gas is separated from mud. Mud is filtered,
3D Printing technology is expected to revolutionize each and every manufacturing industry within the next 2 decades. With this 3D Printer specializing in 3D printing of Braille characters on any kind of plastic packaging of common consumer products regardless the extent of existing surface curvature,
