SRW-Report
Khagendra Kumar Dewangan submitted a seminar report on green engine technology to his professor Dr. S.K. Mukti. The report discusses the global issues of limited energy resources and environmental pollution from conventional engines. It then describes the key technical features of the green engine, including direct air intake, sequential variable compression ratio, direct fuel injection, and constant volume combustion, which allow it to operate with high efficiency and near-zero emissions across a range of fuels. The report evaluates the green engine as a promising solution to global problems posed by widespread automobile use and finite fossil fuel reserves.
Power Generating Shock Absorber
This document discusses power generating shock absorbers that can convert the up and down movement of a vehicle's suspension into electricity. It describes two types of regenerative shock absorbers - linear and rotary - and explains their construction and operating principles. Road tests on a Chevrolet Suburban found the system generated electricity without significantly affecting vehicle momentum. While costly and complex, regenerative shock absorbers could improve fuel efficiency by 2-10% depending on road conditions and allow for energy recovery typically not possible with conventional braking systems. Further research aims to optimize design and test effectiveness in additional vehicle types.

piezo-Shoe
This document describes a piezo-electric shoe that generates electricity from the kinetic energy of walking to charge an internal battery. Piezoelectric crystals produce voltage when pressure is applied, and placing these crystals in the shoe's insole harness the energy from each step. The battery stores the accumulated charge to power small electronics without needing plugs or cables. While a prototype generated only small amounts of power, future designs may improve efficiency by an order of magnitude, making piezo-electric shoes a practical way to scavenge renewable energy from normal walking.
Hexabox
The hexabox is a multi-functional stationery organizer created by team N920S to help with space constraints. It consists of interconnected plastic and copper pieces including a central power unit that can charge phones and includes a clock, light, and pencil holders. While no exact competitors exist, it aims to provide a fun and aesthetic way to organize a workstation for both home and office use at an affordable price.

1) The document summarizes the activities and design project of a student team exploring dye-sensitized solar cells and their potential applications.
2) The team conducted experiments investigating photosynthesis, chromatography of plant pigments, and measuring performance of solar cells.
3) Their design project was to create a product called "D-SOBATT" using henna-dyed solar cells that could store solar energy and charge batteries. Their tests achieved higher voltages than previous studies.Evaluating Opportunities for Solar PV in Mobile Electronic Devices
PV technology has been paired with small electronic devices for decades, most notably in calculators. What's new here is the emergence of alternative PV technologies -- organic PV (OPV), dye-sensitized (DSC), and thin-film variants such as CIGS -- promising not only those specific capabilities, but also potentially produced in large volumes using low-cost manufacturing processes. Many within these PV sectors are developing the technology with an eye toward building-integrated PV (BIPV), but strict performance and lifetime requirements mean this is still some ways off. Consumer electronics, on the other hand, presents an alluring easier target with opportunities right now, and potentially massive addressable volumes.

Developing World Solutions Pointing the Way to a Developed World Future
As American Standard’s Jim McHale explains, more than 2,000 children in developing areas die every day from poor sanitation problems. Many people in poor regions use pit latrines, which enable flies to easily spread disease. American Standard examined why people were using unsealed latrines and designed a new product that worked with current user behavior while keeping the product cost to about a dollar. “Product development works when the people involved are treated and listened to as customers, not beneficiaries,” McHale says.
Matthew Hunt Eco Tech
The document discusses advances in solar technology including using pokeberry dye to coat solar cells, thin-film technology to reduce waste and costs, and using cow brain protein in batteries and solar cells. It also discusses silicon ink-based solar cells that reached 19% conversion efficiency, giant gravel batteries to store solar energy, and the world's largest solar power tower called Ivanpah in California. The document concludes by mentioning the first solar airplane called Solar Impulse HB-SIA that flew between cities in 2012 and Japan sending a solar-powered craft into space.
Solar power project
Solar power works by converting sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) cells or concentrating solar power (CSP). PV cells directly convert sunlight to electricity, while CSP uses mirrors and lenses to focus sunlight to heat a working fluid and drive a turbine. The earliest solar technologies date back to the 18th century, but solar power gained popularity after World War 2 and is now used to power homes, vehicles, and satellites. While solar energy has advantages of being renewable and pollution-free, its high installation costs and dependence on sunlight limit its widespread adoption.
