Making of our institutie's First EV Racing Car
- Studied how different parameters of the suspension,steering and braking system affects the overall performance of
the car
– Designed the initial sketch of the suspension system and iterated it several items to get the output parameters as
close to the desired values possible. Also calculated the forces that are experienced by the A-arms and Pushrod
in static and dynamic cases in MATLAB.
– Designed the Steering system of the Car in SolidWorks and optimised all the parameters associated with the
steering system
– Currently working on the Braking system of the car and guiding the juniors of the team
Contrarotatory Turbines - Study & CAD Modeling
Counter-Rotating Wind Turbines (CRWTs) represent a revolutionary advancement in wind turbine technology. Unlike conventional wind turbines, which typically feature a single rotor, CRWTs employ a dual-rotor configuration to harness wind energy more efficiently.In essence, CRWTs consist of two rotors mounted on the same axis, rotating in opposite directions. This unique design allows CRWTs to exploit the kinetic energy present in both the upstream and downstream wind flow, significantly enhancing their energy extraction capabilities.
Force Analysis and Chatter Detection in Turning Process
In the first part of the project, we found the cutting force coefficients (Kt and Kc) along with the edge coefficients (Kte and Kce) assuming a linearised model from the data of feed and cutting force obtained at different feed.
In the second part, we detected chatter in turning processwith the help of the following four datas : force, sound, acceleration and chatter mark.

Parametric Analysis of WEDM
I analyzed the impact of various process parameters on key output parameters thereby determining the optimum conditions for better machining output. The input parameters taken into consideration were Peak Current, Wire Speed, and Frequency while the output parameters to be studied include MRR, Machining Time, Surface roughness, and Slot Width (kerf) of the final product. Below are the equipments that I used for this project.

Stair Climbing Wheelchair
- We developed the prototype of a stair-climbing wheelchair mechanism which is based on front and rear wheel
clusters connected to the base (chair) via powered linkages
– The mechanism is optimized for wheelchair use and targeted at overcoming a number of shortcomings in currently
available wheelchairs with regard to operation in barrier-present environments.
– We had made the CAD model of the wheelchair in SolidWorks and performed its Mobility Analysis
