Pooling the theoretical information and exposure gained whereas following their BE (Bachelors in Engineering) in mechanical engineering, 5 students of Agnel Institute of Technology and style, Assagao developed a roof cleansing machine to ease the tedious task of upper side cleansing. The team comprised Rohit Patil, Suraj Padji, Shubham Marathe, Rajat Naroji, and Tushar Parab, and was mentored by head of mechanical engineering department, MH Nadaf, and academician Shivakrishna J.
Agnel Institute Has Made Another Innovative Project By 5 Mechanical Students
The idea of the project was conceptualised to deal with the task of cleansing rooftops, a difficulty featured in most Goan households and industries, and provide and efficient alternative, says Patil. “Automated roof cleansing isn't practiced in our country. There are plenty of homes and industries in Goa that have cemented sheet roofings and tile roofs that are vulnerable to obtaining dirty particularly throughout rainy seasons. Through our project, we tend to aimed toward providing a modern resolution to the present issue,” he adds.
The working of the semi-automatic machine is easy and efficient; it consists of a rectangular frame that is driven by four high force DC motors connected to wheels. These are controlled with the assistance of a polarity switch (DPDT switch) that allows the machine to move forward and backwards. The machine utilises a high-pressure water jets to eliminate dirt, mould and mildew from a roof’s surface.
At all step of the approach, from research to development, the team capably power-assisted one another within the completion of the project. Patil designed the model by sketching the initial concept drawings of the machine exploitation CAD (computer aided design) software system. Parab and Marathe helped in grouping the driving and cleansing mechanism, whereas the fabrication task was administered by Naroji and Padji.
For the students the most important takeaway from this expertise was the thrill of having the ability to produce an innovative resolution and contribute to the betterment of society. looking ahead at the future scope of the machine, Naroji says: “The model also can be updated and utilized to hold out similar functions like painting walls or for washing glass walls of buildings by exploitation guideways. The machine also can be operated wirelessly with a camera connected to get a read of the cleansing method.”
