Abstract of the Project:
The Electra-Armadillo Bike is a new kind of two-wheeler. It has a unique ability to blend human and motor power which is fascinating. Electric bikes are ridden by adults of just about all ages and proficiency, on differing rides and for varying purposes.
An electric bicycle, also known as an e-bike, is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor which can be used for propulsion. There are a great variety of different types of e-bikes available worldwide, from e-bikes that only have a small motor to assist the rider's pedal-power (i.e. pedelecs) to somewhat more powerful e-bikes which tend closer to moped-style functionality: all however retain the ability to be pedaled by the rider and are therefore not electric motorcycles. E-bikes use rechargeable batteries and the lighter varieties can travel up to 25 to 32 km/h (16 to 20 mph), depending on the laws of the country in which they are sold, while the more high-powered varieties can often do in excess of 45 km/h (28 mph). In some markets, such as Germany, they are gaining in popularity and taking some market share away from conventional bicycles, while in others, such as China, they are replacing fossil fuel-powered mopeds and small motorcycles.
A folding bicycle is a bicycle designed to fold into a compact form, facilitating transport and storage. When folded, the bikes can be more easily carried into buildings and houses or on public transportation, and more easily stored in compact living quarters or aboard a car, boat or plane. Folding mechanism vary, with each offer a distinct combination of folding speed, folding ease, compactness, ride, weight and durability. Distinguished by the complexities of their folding mechanism, more demanding structural requirements, greater number of parts, and more specialized market appeal, folding bikes may be more expensive than comparable non-folding models. The choice of model, apart from cost considerations, is a matter of resolving the various practical requirements: a quick easy fold, compact folded size, or a faster but less compact model.
Our Electra-Armadillo bike is a fusion of E-bike and foldable bike. It meshes the convenience of transport by means of using electric power as well as the portability of a foldable bike.

Abstract of the project:
This project is designed to develop composite material using Agricultural Resources and waste materials. The waste materials are hard to disposal and thus a major concern to environmental pollution. Utilization of waste materials could reduce contamination and spaces for disposal. Therefore, recycling of waste material by converting it into green material for application in automobile and construction industries is a prime concern of this project. In this project, Coconut shells ash is blend with aluminium powder to develop light weight metal matrix composites.

Abstract of the project:
Projects that are developed in this department are a fusion of new technology and rural orientations. Students are advised to take up projects which are helpful to the rural masses and concentrate and develop ideas and work on projects that cater to the present day energy crisis. Some of the projects carried out by the students are solar operated water pump, Centrifugal Sheller, Small scale packaging equipments like auger filler, Weigh, Fill and Seal packaging machine, etc.,
Students are also involved in the development of computer oriented projects such as development of computer aided heat exchanger design, model of pick and place robot and semi-automatic and automatic packaging equipment. They are encouraged to take up projects on problems prevailing in nearby industries to get a feel on the importance of project work.
Cost of the project: Rs.40,000/-
