Design Challenge is The Tech's signature pedagogy where students engage in the design process to solve a relevant, authentic, real-world problem. Students apply and reinforce their Science content knowledge, as well as Social Studies and Language Arts through an open-ended design process that results in an original solution. Students take responsibility for assessing their own progress and incorporate peer feedback

Ø Coconut tree climber.

Flood-drought management:

Ø Water supply through innovative canals to any distance.

Electrical:
Ø Electricity generating techniques from ocean.

Ø Electricity generating techniques from wind energy.

Ø Electricity generating techniques from solar energy.

Chemical:

Ø Filters to remove hazardous pesticide residues from water.

Medical engineering:

Ø Advanced Intra Uterine Devices.

Ø Equipment to remove kidney stones.

Ø Relaxing glasses.

INNOVATIVE SEMINAR PRESENTED:

Ø Heat transfer through liquids by conduction.

AWARDS AND APPLAUSE:
Ø Obtained third prize for the mechanical project presentation at the national level technical symposium “IBM Techsplash ’03 Reliance” held at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal for the innovative project, The Pipeline Cleaner.

Ø Selected as the best innovative project by the ISTE students chapter, NITKS, in the mechanical section.

Ø Submitted the project report of flood –drought management -water supply through innovative canals, to the govt. of Karnataka and they intern to the drought-monitoring cell and I have received the letter of appreciation.

Ø Received invitation from the govt. of Tamil Nadu for the presentation of the same.

CORE SUBJECTS:

Design, Invention, Pollution control, Environmental protection, Organic farming, Music, Working for social causes.

MECHANICAL:
Ø New turbo engine design:

It can be thought as the hybrid of a conventional piston engine and a turbine. It eliminates the disadvantages of both the units. Meant primarily for high-speed automobiles.

Ø Advanced automobile gear box:

Its an advanced version of epicyclical gearbox. The gear changing is made easy and the new class of material is used.

Ø Multidirectional gear drive:

Here the driven shaft is expected to operate in a solid angle of about 120 degrees, with respect to the driver shaft without changing the direction of rotation.

Ø The pipeline cleaner:

Its analogous to the automatic guided vehicle. It can move inside the pipeline and perform different tasks such as inspection, repair, cleaning, blockage removal etc. it can work both in dry as well as wet conditions. Here the motion is governed by friction, but it is possible to achieve it without physical contact. Its primarily meant to use for situations where the manual entry is not feasible. The unit can be remote controlled.

Ø The spatial floating link:

It operates in a half circle space while being a floating link. It is unidirectional in rotation.

Ø Advanced quenching technology:

It promises to eliminate the embrittlement of the metallic components during the quenching process and thus eliminates or reduces the need for tempering process.

Ø Automobile designs and safety aspects:

A number of revolutionary aesthetic shapes are developed keeping mind various customer requirements.

A number of economically feasible safety measures are developed, which can be successfully adopted for ordinary vehicles, especially safety measures during sudden braking.

Ø Revolutionary concepts in automobile field:

As regards with the overall design and performance, some revolutionary concepts are under consideration.

AGRICULTURAL:
Ø Paddy harvesting machine:

The cost of this design is expected to be about 10-to20 % of the existing engine driven models. And is having higher grain recovery rate.

Both manual and bullock driven designs are at the disposal that suits an average farmer.

Ø Paddy thrashing machine:

A more productive design is at the disposal.

Ø Coconut tree climber:

Many designs are under consideration.
FLOOD-DROUGHT MANAGEMENT:
This project is conceived during the severe drought of the year2000 in India.

The flood and drought can be effectively tackled by diverting water to the drought-hit areas from the surplus basins by means of unconventional innovative canals. The overall cost is expected to be about 1 to 2 % of that of the conventional concretized canals. Obviously the canal has to be maintained frequently but the maintenance cost is negligible. Some eco-friendly and innovative techniques are used. This method can be employed for all the soil types and the construction will also be speedy. There are innovative techniques to take it forward without disrupting the possible interruptions such as highways and railway tracks. This is an economical but effective way to realize the river-linking proposal in a speedy way. There are means to handle the feared ecological problems.

I am ready to give my constructive co-operation in this regard to any organization or country.
ELECTRICAL:
Ø Electricity generation from ocean:

There are a number of techniques under consideration, which are essentially different from the existing methods. E.g.

Ø Electricity generation from ocean waves:

This project is developed during the course of my engineering studies. As we had beach nearby, the wave motion caught my attention. The technology I have developed resembles the one that is found in www. owec.com, in principle but there are essential differences as well. I have developed the entire circuitry required for a D.C output. Its also basically a network of many smaller units. It was during this period, I had happened to reinvent the wheat stone bridge circuit. I feel this technology is economical than the owec.

Ø Electricity generation from the wind energy:

Many innovative designs suitable for various locations, those reduce bulky constructions, vibrations and noise.

Ø Electricity generation from solar energy:

Excluding the solar panels few techniques are considered.

CHEMICAL:
Filters meant for the removal of the hazardous pesticide residues from water.

MEDICAL ENGINEERING:
Ø Advanced Intra Uterine Devises:

The implantation dangers posed by the conventional IUDs are eliminated.

Ø Equipment to remove kidney stones:

The method makes it possible without operating.

Ø Relaxing glasses:

To remove the stress induced due to prolonged reading.
