Segway Personal Transport
The Segway was a project executed by Dean Kamen in 2001, which is a self-balancing human transporter. It works on the principle of a gyroscope. The developing of Segway PT is a project as it was temporary, took about 2 years to develop the production version. It was unique as it was a new mode of transport. It had a tangible product that is the vehicle. -
RepRap Darwin – 3D Printer
Darwin was the first 3D printer designed by Adrian Bowyer as a part of the RepRap project studying about self-replicating manufacturing machine. It utilized artificial intelligence combined with mechanical engineering to print 3D components. It was a project as it was temporary which started in 2005 and developed the first product Darwin in March 2007. It was the first 3D printer developed which made it a unique project. -
Large Hadron Collider
It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The main objective of LHC to be built was to test the theories of particle physics in a controlled environment to see whether it holds true.
LHC is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider and the largest machine in the world. It was built between 1998 and 2008. The outcome is that now scientists are rigorously testing the standard model which explains how the particles of an atom interact with each other. -
Andasol Solar Plant
Flagsol, a subsidiary of Solar Millennium executed the project.
The purpose of the solar plant was to provide electricity to Spanish homes.
It is the largest solar power project in the world. The construction began in July 2006 and ended in March 2009. The project outcome is that the plant is able to supply electricity to a Spanish energy supplier. -
International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS) was jointly executed by various agencies such as NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), European Space Agency, Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and Canadian Space Agency.
The main purpose of this project is research for human health. This is to study whether there is any change to the human body after prolonged exposure to the atmosphere of space. This will help determine whether settlement of moon or mars is possible. -
Conversion of firing system in the boiler of a captive power.
The Captive power plant traditionally used Naphtha as fuel, With the coming of LNG terminal in Cochin, it was feasible to procure LNG at a low price.The burner of the boiler was redesigned and conversion of fuel and feed from Naphtha mode to LNG mode was the intended project. It is a project since it had a specific start date and end date, and it was the first time where conventional boilers were converted into LNG Burners which made it unique. -
Semi-Automatic Filling and Weighing Machine
The semi-automatic filling and weighing machine is designed for precision manufacturing requirements. It is suitable for filling capsules of all sizes such as powders, granules, pellets. Its outstanding features both functional and mechanical provide a high level of automation with precision in filling weight accuracy. Semi-automatic filling and sealing machines are of center sealing types and feature servo pull system that allows effective and highly accurate packing of the products. -
Alcohol Sensing Display With Alarm Project.
By this project we can obtain the percentage of alcohol consumed by the driver which is displayed on the LCD display. The alarm will be beeping if the percentage of alcohol is over the limits. This is designed for the safety of the people sitting inside the car, hence reducing accidents. It has a special feature to which if the person is drunk the ignition does not turn on. This can be inbuilt in all vehicles to prevent major causes of accidents. . -
Automatic Tollgate and Car Theft Monitoring System.
In the design of the proposed Electronic toll collection (ETC) system, live toll collection and the anti-theft solution have been introduced. This minimizes the manual labor and delays that often occur on roads. Also, an anti-theft system module which avoids passing of any random vehicle is introduced, thus assuring security on roads. Toll collection system is a time-saving measure to reduce management costs and fees and can greatly minimize noise and pollutant emission of toll station.
