SOLAR CYCLE STAND!!!!

                  

                 A school in Chandigarh is having a solar- powered cycle stand and also generates its own power!! It thus serves the dual purpose of providing a shaded space for parking and also generates power.

                 The first solar cycle stand in India, with the capacity of the solar photo voltaic power plant is 15 KWp, which has been installed with a cost of 18.70 Lakhs. The covered area of this cycle stand is 1050 square feet where more than 100 cycles can be accommodated. It was installed on 23 January 2014 and till 24 May 2014 they generated around 7500 units of electricity  and has reduced 4050 Kg of C0₂ emission.

                 The project has designed to generate more than 20000 units of electricity per annum. The annual consumption of electricity of the school is about 14000 units and the surplus power of approximately 6000 units annually will be exported to the Chandigarh Electricity Department. A bidirectional energy meter capable of measuring import and export readings has been installed in the project. I think this is an innovative model for everyone to install such systems which serves as a good vehicle stand as well as it provides self sufficiency in the use of required power for the installed institution. In the current scenario of Energy crisis, this is a promising technology which has high relevance and future scope.

3 DAYS AT PEECHI - YUVA NEWS ROOM

               Oh God..!! How can I get back to my busy hectic life??? I just can’t think of it..

              Even you believe or not, I wrote this while in a train, in the midst of a group of strange passengers. Don’t think I’m crazy..!! ;-) At this moment, I’m completely absent minded. I never wrote anything like this before, when I’m in a train, in a journey. I still feel that I’m amongst them, those new friends. Definitely, this is because of the emotional impact of MANORAMA YUVA NEWS ROOM!!

             

              The class strongly influenced me in such a way that I still feels that I’m there at KFRI, Peechi. I don‘t know, I feels like my friends are near me, but when I look for them… I find no one. But definitely, they are all still with me, with the strong impact each one of them made in me. I never had such a strong influence on myself with just 3 days..!! I really don’t know how I’m gonna get back to my ordinary college life with this extraordinary mindset…..!!!!

TRANSWALL : THE NEW GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

                           

                             Can glass walls be made more interactive and fun..?? The answer is YES!! This is made possible by a new technology namely, TRANSWALL. Transwall is a two-sided, touchable, transparent display technology. This concept is developed by Woohun Lee and his research team, at KAIST. This prototype has been launched even on a 65” inch screen.  The hardware consists of 2 projectors, 2 plexiglass sheets, holographic screen film, 2 IR touch sensor frames, surface transducer, 2 microphones. Featuring an incorporate surface transducer, Transwall provides audio and vibrotactile feedback to users, enabling people to see, hear, or even touch other people through the wall while enjoying gaming and interpersonal communication.

                              

                              Imagine a glass surface where we can freely draw, flip and spell, play games, play music, sense the vibrations and communicate with another person who is on the other side of the glass screen. Isn’t it amazing?? Transwall makes this concept come true. Transwall is designed to be installed inside buildings such as shopping centers, museums, and theme parks for people to have an opportunity to collaborate even with strangers in a natural way.  In this way, the simple and silent glass surfaces can be transformed into an active space for creativity, as well as a gaming spot. This is definitely an amazing and promising field and further researches are going on to improve the already developed ideas. Undoubtedly, Transwall gives us an extraordinary social interaction experience.
