Design and Fabrication of Wall Climbing Robot
This project focuses on the fabrication of the wall climbing robot for use of cleaning, painting, surveillance in military, aircraft inspections. Under strict weight and size limits it is required to be placed on a window and either autonomously or via remote control clean the outside of a window with no other human intervention. This particular robot will move over the wall, will clean the window, and paint the wall, as well as for surveying in armed forces.

Design and Fabrication of 3D Printer
3D printing is a process of prototyping where by a structure is synthesized from a 3D model. 3D printing significantly challenges mass production processes in the future. This type of printing is predicted to influence industries, like automotive, medical, education, equipment, consumer products industries and various businesses.

Magnetic Suspension System For Two Wheelers
Aim of this project is to use magnet as a damper as well as shock absorber which reduces the size of suspension system as well as increase its efficiency and comfort to the rider with stability in the vehicle. It can bear a load of 250kg, with 10000 GP magnet is used inside magnetic suspension system. It also allows the least number of components in suspension system and completely removal of helical spring which leads to more efficiency and less maintenance because of less wear and tear.

Fabrication of Multipurpose Refrigeration System
This project idea aims for combining Air conditioner, Refrigerator and Water Cooler in a single unit with a compressor unit and evaporator unit. By using eco-friendly refrigerant ecological balance is maintained. Combined three devices work simultaneously to reduce running cost.
