Research Projects / Patents

Investigations to develop thermo magnetic based heat transport device for cooling of high heat flux electronic devices

MNF exhibits some unique characteristics under the influence of external magnetic fields such as magneto-viscous effect which makes it as a promising option in the field of electronic systems cooling.

Mini tiller

As in a rapid developing era the farming industry is in need of the equipment’s which can perform multiple tasks at a time with less effort. The smaller power tiller can perform to remove weed from field and easily handling the equipment. .Main objective of this project is to design and fabricate a mini power tiller with cultivator which is suitable for one acre to three acres of land at low cost and high efficient.

Project
Double Hollow Nozzle for a 3D Printing Device

Objective of the present invention is to provide a double hollow nozzle to extrude feedstock and spray nanoparticle coating at the same time.

Project
Multi Nozzle Agricultural Apparatus

Multi Nozzle agricultural sprayer is designed for spraying of both insecticide and herbicide simultaneously. Insecticide is sprayed on the plants where as herbicide will be sprayed on the weed grown in between the plantation. Multi Nozzle agricultural sprayer is provided with height adjustment system which is used to change the height of the nozzle setup as per the requirement.

Project
System for Planting Seeds in Agricultural Field

The idea of Seed planter is for planting of cotton and groundnut seeds. Seed hopper is designed to distribute seeds uniformly at the desired application rates. Two rows seeding can be done. Crank rocker mechanism is incorporated in the planter which would act like a seed Dibbler and sow the seed deep into the soil.

Project
Quad Machine with Bevel Gear Mechanism

Quad machine is a multi-purpose machine which operates on single power and transmits power to many tools. The existing multi-purpose machine which operates on single power and transmits power to many tools is complicated in design and heavy weight and also it requires more space. The idea of Quad machine is to reduce space and make it as simple and concise in operation.
