Projects and Concepts

SAKAL Pot Maker (SPM) – sponsored by KSCST.

Concept of electromagnetic engine with power equivalence of an IC engine.

Concept to eliminate turbo lag in turbo charged engines.

SAKAL POT MAKER – It is an innovative idea to make the process of filling pots

with mud easier and economical. Pot filling is a step involved in plant nursery field.

Plant nursery serves for many agriculture fields like coffee, areca nut, fruits etc. A

coffee estate of just 3 acres requires 600 replacement plants every year. An

experienced worker can fill nearly 250 pots a day, and each labours wage is around

300 rupees. So imagine the expenditure involved for a large estate. So to solve this

problem I developed a complete plan and design of the machine, which was brought

to existence with the help of my friends. This machine works in a similar way to

manual filling, but multiple pots are filled simultaneously and hence the pots are filled

at a much faster rate. This project is sponsored by KSCST.

CONCEPT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENGINE: This was an idea that flashed to

me at the beginning of my engineering. We all know that one day fuel resources are

going to exhaust, and presently environmental issues are severe. To answer these

things we need to redesign the engine to make it more reliable and environmental

friendly. In this concept I have replaced the cylinder head with electromagnet and

wound the cylinder wall with copper wire. The electromagnet is used to pull the

metal piston from BDC to TDC, the other half cycle is continued by the flywheel.

This change in magnetic flux induces emf in the cylinder winding. This charges a

secondary battery which in turn runs the electromagnet. Of course this does not

produce 100% efficiency, but it increases the charge life of battery and hence more

reliable. This project could not be put to reality because there were no resources

available in the shape I required and lately in my third year I came to know that a

person got US patent for a concept very similar to mine.

CONCEPT OF TURBO LAG ELIMINATION: Turbocharger increases air input to

engine cylinder, which increases output of engine. Turbocharger lag is the delay in

power delivery when the acceleration pedal is depressed. This is due to the delay of

exhaust reaching the turbocharger. There are many ways to eliminate it one of the

methods I thought was by adopting an electric motor to the turbocharger which

charges a battery during no lag and uses the same to power turbocharger during lag

period. A similar concept is to be adopted in an upcoming model of Volvo.

MY DESIGN OF IMAGINARY CARS: I am not a trained designer. I just do it out of

dedication. I know only few proportions required for drawing but I don’t know the

way to bring the designs to reality.
