In accelerating, long highways, or hill climbing the electric motor provides additional power to assist the engine. This allows a smaller, more efficient engine to be used. Besides it also utilizes the concept of regenerative braking for optimized utilization of energy. Energy dissipated during braking in HEV is used in charging battery. Thus the vehicle is best suited for the growing urban areas with high traffic. Initially the designing of the vehicle in CAD, simulations of inverter and other models are done. Equipment and their cost analysis are done. It deals with the fabrication of the vehicle. This includes assembly of IC Engine and its components. The next phase consists of implementing the electric power drive and designing the controllers. The final stage would consist of increasing the efficiency of the vehicle in economic ways.

Solar Based Autonomous Ship for Cleaning Garbage & Surveillance
Water pollution with floating garbage is getting more and more serious in many countries. The design of an autonomous ship for cleaning the garbage floating on a lake has been proposed. The ship is powered by a solar battery. Circuit for protection of the excessive charge and discharge of the battery system has been used. Ultrasonic sensors have been equipped to detect the distance between the ship and the bank of the lake. The position and the orientation of the ship can be determined by measuring the distance between the ship and the bank at two successive times, which is used for controlling the running direction of the ship to make the ship autonomously run in an annular zone of a short distance away from the bank. The ship has also been equipped with a system to detect the occurrence of obstacles and to bypass the detected obstacles. Two screw propellers have been installed at the two sides of the ship to drive the ship, which makes the ship change its direction nimbly. A photo-resistance has been used to determine if it is in daytime or nighttime. The ship circulates the lake only one time at nighttime to save power energy. Wireless remote control is also available, which makes the ship user friendly. Experiments have demonstrated the applicability of the design.

Seminar on solar sail
Solar sails use radiation pressure from the sun for propulsion and have minimal moving parts. They produce very small thrusts but can be used repeatedly over long periods. A seminar discussed the physical principles behind solar radiation pressure and how it produces small forces on sails. Attitude control is needed to maintain the craft's orientation against various forces. Testing is challenging on Earth but applications could include satellites for trajectory corrections and missions close to the sun. Various sail configurations and materials have been proposed but deployment challenges have limited real-world testing until Japan's 2010 IKAROS mission, the first to use a solar sail as a primary propulsion system.
