GO-KART EVENT

TEAM EXCALIBUR

A Four day BFKC Final event was held at Kari Motor speedway, Coimbatore from 10.09.2019 to 13.09.2019. Bharat Formula Karting Championship started with Registration on 10.09.2019 morning followed by Technical Inspection (I Round) on the same day they gave some suggestion to alter ate the vehicle followed by Report Presentation, Business plan and we were evaluated by Design evaluation team. In design evaluation we got some valuable inputs from industrial experts and some appreciations. On the next day Technical Inspection final round was conducted.

After successful completion of Technical Inspection and our Karts has been tested by Vehicle Dynamic Evaluation team. Dynamic Evaluation are categorized into four tests namely acceleration test, brake test, skid pad test, and auto cross test.

TEAM TROJANS

After successful completion of the dynamic test, we got some practical inputs about the Kart performance under various conditions. On the final day, the event started with Qualification round of racing, we completed successfully and selected for the final endurance. We are completed successfully and we got overall rank 6th position out of 96 colleges (for 130CC category) and 9th position out of 24 colleges (for 160CC category). And we got first place for business plan event. Our students learn many things from this event.

Electric Two Wheeler Design Competition


A Four day ETWDC Final event was held at Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Erode from 26.09.2019 to 29.09.2019. Electric Two wheeler design Challenge event started with Registration on 26.09.2019 morning followed by vehicle assembly and reporting. The second day started with Technical Inspection on the same day we are attended weight checking, vehicle stability inspection, Build quality Inspection and aesthetics categories. On the next day we were attended Design log presentation and followed by dynamics events like Manoeuvrability test, Vehicle range test. After that the vehicle battery BMS problem was found so that we can’t able to attend the break test. We got battery from nearest participants and we attend the remaining tests like Grad ability Test, Bump test and Innovation category. After successful completion of all category tests except Break test, we got overall rank 36th position out of 89 colleges. Our students learnt many things from this event.

3D Priniting

3D PRINT_2.mp4
3d print.mp4

3D Printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital design. There are different 3D printing technologies and materials you can print with, but all are based on the same principle: a digital model is turned into a solid three-dimensional physical object by adding material layer by layer.

HOW DO THE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES WORK?

  • Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

  • Stereolithography and Digital Light Processing (SLA & DLP)

  • Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

  • Material Jetting (PolyJet and MultiJet Modeling)

  • Binder Jetting

All 3D printing technologies create physical objects from digital designs layer by layer, but each using its own proprietary method. To shed the confusion, we’ve created an infographic highlighting all the main technologies starting from the high level grouping, guiding through the printing process, exact technology titles, material options and ending with the key industry players.

Small scale sugarcane harvester

Sugarcane is the major component for the production of sugar and ethanol. Ethanol is the predominant fuel in certain countries like Brazil. Hence production of sugarcane stands the most important and competing. Sugarcane grows between the regions 22⁰N and 22⁰S. The moderate temperature with adequate rainfall improves the cultivation of sugarcane. As far as India is concerned, India is the second leading producer of sugarcane. The tropic temperature in India well suits the sugarcane cultivation In populous country as India, there could not be alone mass production and small scale farming plays a vital role. The technology has leaped far ahead in a century. Meanwhile it imposes a major threat of high cost for implementation. This hinders the small scale intensive farmers from implementing and hiring the agricultural machineries. Sugarcane harvesting is a bit difficult and complicated task. It is mostly performed manually or at least in India where small scale cropping lies dominant. Manual harvesting of canes is less efficient and more time consuming on taking into account the fatigue factors of the manual workers. The existing sugarcane harvester comes in the robust structures of tractor and trucks, which prove efficient, though is not affordable by most farmers. The main motive of the project is to reduce the structure to the most compact structure as possible and to minimize the cost of the existing machine to the great extent as possible. In the first attempt, complete automation at the minimal cost is cumbersome. But the manual efforts could be reduced to the possible extent.
