Mobile App For Pump Status
|
Development of
a Mobile application to know the operational status of a pump / electrical
gadget installed at a distant. In ajce, pumps in remote wells are operated
locally. Due to power failure / other problems, sometimes, pumps stop.
Operator (security Guards) need to know the pump status through a mobile
application. Another requirement is to know the water level in overhead
tanks.

Adulterant Detector
|
Adulterated
petrol is sometimes used in petrol bunks. The task here is to develop a
detector to find the adulterant, if any while pouring the petrol inside the
tank of the vehicle from the petrol bunk.
A sensor like equipment may give the idea of presence of adulterant
but it will be good if the detector
can identify the adulterant and its composition too.

Device To Clean Mud From Water Tank
|
To develop a
system by which bottom of the water tanks can be cleaned without removing the
water frequently. Usually as time passes the bottom part of the open or
closed tanks layered up with mud which is removed by throwing the water
completely from the tank. It is wastage of water. Recycling by the method of
filtering is also time consuming process and requires water removing,
filtering and refilling by external units.So the challenge is to device a
unit that can clean the mud from the bottom.

Knowledge Kiosk
|
Nowadays we
use a lot educational contents in the form of Video Tutorials(Coursera ,
NPTEL, edX Videos, Spoken Tutorials-IITB), Animations and also Software
Packages to enhance the academic knowledge, technical/non technical skills, .
Sharing these contents to the students is always a challenge. Since these
contents occupy large size, downloading/uploading over the internet is not a
practical solution always and it takes a lot of time.Sharing it via USB
drives will actually share Viruses also, if windows based systems are used.So
here I propose to use a high memory capacity Linux based Local Server System
with interfaces for USB Connectivity, LAN Connectivity, which is modeled like
an ATM with easy to navigate GUI with proper security mechanisms. Once the
system is in place(in an accessible place), Teachers will be able to
upload/download to/from the system and the students will be able to download
the contents offline. This is a general solution to internet connectivity
issues faced in rural parts of India ieA student is always provided with the
required contents to enhance his/her knowledge & skills irrespective of
whether he/she has internet connectivity and importantly without spreading
viruses.

Sprayer For Agriculture
|
Trees like
Areca nut and coconut does not have branches on the trunk. The crops are at
the top of the tree which grows to 30-35 meters length. Both the crops are
very prone to different types of germ attack and the farmers lose their
crops. It is very difficult to apply the pesticides effectively due to the
height. It will be very helpful for the farmers if one can make a suitable
object that can crawl the trees, spray the pesticides on the crop effectively
and pluck the crop and so (multipurpose) by controlling it from the ground
itself integrating it with a visual media.

A Prosthetic Hand Design And Fabrication
|
A lot of
people gets amputated of their hands due to various reasons. This project
aims at making a prosthetic hand which can do various operations needed in
our daily lives. The present prosthetic hands are simple structures which are
not capable of having such motions.

Indirect Crack Length Measurement
|
In a cracked body, as the length of the crack
increases, the electrical resistance of the material also increases. If we
apply a constant voltage across the crack faces, the potential drop also
increases due to the change in the crack length as it grows. A crack length
monitoring device can be thought of. Such a device can monitor any
engineering structures and can warn when the crack growth rate is alarmingly
fast.

Amal Jyothi Messenger
|
I challenge
the Amal Jyothi community to develop a unique mobile application named
"Amal Jyothi Messenger" (Similar to Watsapp, or line) through which
the Amal Jyothi Staff and Faculties may be able to be connected with each
other through a WIFI or other connectivity options. The application should be designed in such
a way that the faculty or staff may be able to talk to each other or send
message free of charge (Without spending their mobile balance or data balance) possibly by using the WIFI connectivity. This will reduce the money spend by faculty
in communication with each other. i
presume that the challenge can be
fulfilled by the theories of computer applications and mobile technology.

Tapioca Harvesting Machine
|
Tapioca is
harvested by hand by raising the lower part of the stem and pulling the roots
out of the ground, then removing them from the base of the plant. The upper
parts of the stems with the leaves are plucked off before harvest. Harvesting
should be done in dry season, as tapioca will have high percentage of starch
content. So a large amount of effort is required for harvesting the tapioca.
The purpose of the project is to develop a portable tapioca harvesting
machine which enables the farmer to harvest tapioca more easily.

Portable drainage cleaning machine
|
A drainage system in urban and industrial areas is a
facility to dispose of liquid waste. It is beneficial to have an underground
drainage system since any water on top of the roof will be discarded through
it into the street. This will help to retain the house's foundation in a
better condition. However, inadvertently dust, debris and other residue will
flow with the rainwater, and this may cause blockages in the system from time
to time. As a result an underground
drainage system will require cleaning and maintenance from time to time

Extraction of
wild honey from bee hives on tall buildings
|
Beehives on
tall building pose a risk as the bees can attack people even causing death. A
safe mechanism to dislodge the beehives and extract honey without killing the
bees need to be developed
