NEW INNOVATIONS IN THE MECHANICAL FIELD

Bladeless Wind Turbines

Wind power has become a legitimate source of energy over the past few decades as

larger, more efficient turbine designs have produced ever-increasing amounts of power. But even

2

though the industry saw a record $99.5 billion global investment in 2014, turbine growth may be

reaching its limits.

Transportation is increasingly challenging because of the size of the components:

individual blades and tower sections often require specialized trucks and straight, wide roads.

Today’s wind turbines are also incredibly top heavy. Generators and gearboxes sitting on support

towers 100 meters off the ground can weigh more than 100 tons. As the weight and height of

turbines increase, the materials costs of wider, stronger support towers, as well as the cost of

maintaining components housed so far from the ground, are cutting into the efficiency benefits of

larger turbines.

The alternative energy industry has repeatedly tried to solve these issues to no avail. But

the latest entry promises a radically different type of wind turbine: a bladeless cylinder that

oscillates or vibrates.

Spanish startup Vortex Bladeless has developed turbines that harness vorticity, the

spinning motion of air or other fluids. When wind passes one of the cylindrical turbines, it shears

off the downwind side of the cylinder in a spinning whirlpool or vortex. That vortex then exerts

force on the cylinder, causing it to vibrate. The kinetic energy of the oscillating cylinder is

converted to electricity through a linear generator similar to those used to harness wave energy.

Vortex’s lightweight cylinder design has no gears or bearings. It will generate electricity

for 40 percent less than the cost of power from conventional wind turbines. The company has

received $1 million in private capital and government funding in Spain and is seeking another $5

million in venture capital funding. The company plans to release a four-kilowatt system in 2016

and a much larger one-megawatt device around 2018.

WORKSHOP ON ROBOTHLON

In recent years, flying robots such as miniature helicopters or Quadcopter have received a

large gain in popularity. Potential applications range from aerial filming over remote visual

inspection of industrial sites to automatic 3D reconstruction of buildings. Navigating a

Quadcopter manually requires a skilled pilot and constant concentration. Therefore, there is a

strong scientific interest to develop solutions that enable Quadcopter to fly autonomously and

without constant human supervision. This is a challenging research problem because the payload

of a Quadcopter is uttermost constrained and so both the quality of the onboard sensors and the

available computing power is strongly limited.

In order to gain knowledge in Quadcopter, Our Mechanical Engineering department

organized a design and fabrication workshop on Quadcopter “ROBOTHLON - 2015 on

13/08/2015 and 14/08/2015”.

Thirty three students from 2nd year and 3rd year Mechanical Engineering were

participated in the workshop. Mr.Ravinder Singh, for Quad copter, Mr.Pankaj Kumar Singh for

Automobile, Mr. Durga Prashad for Automobile, and Mr. Anurag for Quadcopter from the

Robosapiens Technologies Pvt. Ltd., shares their resources and conducts a Zonal Competition.

Five teams are selected for Zonal round and Merit certificate awarded to Zonal winners.

The zonal winners (third year mechanical engineering students), had participated in the

automobile competition event “ROBOTHLON 2015” held at IIT, GUWAHATI from 04.09.2015

to 06.09.2015.

In this event our college secured 3rd position among the 62 colleges participated from

all over India. The winners list is given below.
