Hydraulic Clock

Hydraulic ClockIn the fast-moving world where new products launch every day, things look obscure and understanding technology behind it looks out of reach and complex.

Take an example of a digital clock, we all use them but never bothered about how they work and technology used in building them.

Today we are going to discuss a project which is not only interesting but has its own significance in a journey of innovations. It will help students learn the basics of hydraulics and fluid mechanics.

I have seen this project title at one education site and find it interesting enough to discuss it with you.

Spherical Solar Energy Cells

The biggest hurdle in the use of clean energy is their costing which is far more than traditional sources. We at Projectideasblog.com always try to bring you information about the latest technologies and innovation and this article is one of those posts where we will not discuss ideas but technology which in the future has the potential to change our lives. 

Scientist around the world is working day and night to make it cost-effective. Batteries and Material costs are the two main reasons for its high production cost. We can bring down its cost in two ways; first by reducing the price of storage that we discussed in our last post and second by improving the efficiency which we are discussing today.

Quinone Battery to make solar and wind power cheaper

Quinone BatteryWe all know that renewable energy is the need of the hour and has many advantages to traditional sources of energy. But do you ever ask, if it is all good, why we are not using it completely?

Why we are not using Renewable energy for all our energy needs?

Whenever this question has been asked, most of the people respond with two reasons:
1. It's expensive to use
2. It's unreliable or inconsistent

And yes, these are the two reasons which make it difficult for Renewable energy to become a sellable commodity. But when you will dig deeper, you will find that the root cause is only the reliability and inconsistency. So, if the wind is blowing well, we produce more electricity but if it's diminished, we don't get any electricity.

To make things more consistent, we use batteries, it solves our first problem but it increases the cost because batteries require regular maintenance and we have to replace them every couple of years.

The project we are going to discuss today is going to address this problem. And if we are able to bring down the cost of batteries, green energy will become super lucrative.

Hand Gesture Controlled Robot

The gesture is a way to express our ideas using our head or body. To build a hand gesture robot we will build a system using which our robot can recognize any gesture with the help of its camera, afterward classify this gesture with the help of some algorithm and respond accordingly. To make it simple, You can understand the working of this robot in the following steps:
1. Send Signals using Remote Device(Your Hand, Face, Body or remote)
2. The robot receives Signals using Cameras on-board.
3. Use Algorithm to decode the signal
4. Match that signal with stored signals
5.If match found then follow instructions as specified.
