Brief Outline of the Innovative Proposal 1
An Integrated Approach for Wastewater Treatment and Electricity Generation using Microbial
Fuel Cell (MFC)
Atin Kumar Pathak, Richa Kothari
Department of Environmental Science, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University
(A Central University), Lucknow-226025
Fuel cell is an electrochemical device which uses chemical energy to directly convert it into the electrical
energy. But, microbial fuel cell is the biochemical cell which utilizes the organic waste and finally
produces the bioelectricity and portable water.
Chemical Energy Electrical Energy
Figure 1: Showing basic reaction involved in fuel cell
The possibility of direct conversion of organic material in wastewater to bio- electricity using microbial
fuel cell (MFC) is a Robert technology for electricity generation. In conventional wastewater treatment
plants due to high demand of power input, the cost of treatment process is high, but MFC technology
provides a new method to offset operating cost and less sludge production. So, recent energy crisis
together with over exploitation of fossil fuels has rebuild interest in MFCs among researchers to generate
electricity in coupling with wastewater treatment. Industries are the major source of large volume of
wastewater generation and the process of treatment for wastewater involves high-cost and technology.
The industrial wastewater are major culprit for the aquatic pollution as it possess high BOD, COD, Color,
TDS and Odour. Several researchers have found out various alternative processes for treatment of
wastewater in which biological treatment is being more environment friendly and economically viable.
This technology will be finally processed to meet the rural and urban energy crisis and the problem of
Substrate waste
water etc.

Brief Outline of the Innovative Proposal 2
Paddlewheel purifier for flood affected region: An Innovation for drinking water supply
Urvashi Sharma, Venkatesh Dutta
Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (UP) 226 025.
Water is the most basic necessity of life, without it life cannot sustain. Natural calamities cause
damage or contamination in all traditional means of water supply. Flooding submerges an area into
water but it is not safe to use that water directly hence causes scarcity of potable water. Flood affected
people have chances of getting water borne diseases when they consume the polluted water either for
drinking or other purposes. Idea behind this innovation is to develop an integrated technique which
could not only provide potable water in flood affected areas but also self-transportable. This
model is a simple technique which uses mechanical energy of a cyclist to purify water. It is composed
of simple fittings in a bicycle with which it can float and purify water as well. Here the mechanical
energy is used to generating pressure with the help of piston which on one side will run the reverse
osmosis (RO) system and simultaneously on the other hand the extra pressure from this piston will
help in sucking water from the stream into the filters. A mount and a propeller are required to attach
bicycle with the polyester air balloon. These fitting will help the cyclist to float on the water. This
could be a good means of potable water treatment and supply in the flood affected area in future. As
the cyclist starts paddling in the stream, water from the stream is pumped into the filter. Thus, when
the cyclist reaches the destination, enough water gets filtered and stored into the container.
Fig. A Schematic diagram of Paddlewheel purifier (spring piston is denoted as pump in the figure), the set of
filter includes 1 Microfilter, 1 Ultrafilter and 1 Reverse Osmosis membrane. A filter is also placed in the inlet
pipe to prevent the debris and other large particles to enter in the system.

This can also be a useful innovation not only in the flood affected area but also in the areas where
there is no potable water supply and ground water is highly contaminated. Here people can ride to the
nearby river stream and put cycle on the stand and paddle it to get potable water. This works on
mechanical energy so no electricity is required. It does not require an expert, it is very simple to
assemble and operate the fittings in the bicycle. It does not require any additional transportation
mechanism as cyclist can ride to the flood affected area and then attach the fittings to ride over the
water. These fitting can also be assembled in an old bicycle to convert it into a floating water purifier.
In future we would like to prepare a working unit of this idea. We would also like to take this idea to a
large scale production and supply to the areas which gets flooded frequently. So, this it can serve the
mankind during the crisis as well as fulfill their day to day potable water requirement.

INNOVATION (Development of graphene oxide-based biosensor for detection of platelet-derived
microparticles: a potential tool for thrombus risk identification)
We have developed cost-effective new process technology toward commercial
production of point-of-care detection system against coronary artery diseases. He has
designed an innovative graphene oxide-based electrochemical nano-biosensor (patent filed
# 1959/DEL/2013, dated 02.07.2013) for detection of platelet-derived microparticles
(PMPs), a major risk factor for arterial pro-thrombotic pathologies like acute myocardial
infarction and stroke. Electrodes were fabricated with immobilized layers of graphene oxide
and a specific antibody targeted against active conformation of integrin IIb3 expressed on
PMP surface. Results showed progressive rise in impedance in Nyquist plots with increasing
number of PMPs in analyte. The sensor was highly specific for PMPs and did not identify
microparticles originating from other cells. Blood obtained from patients diagnosed with
acute myocardial infarction exhibited significantly higher values of impedance, consistent
with larger number of circulating PMPs in these patients, as compared to samples from
healthy individuals, thus validating biosensor as a specific, sensitive, label-free and cost-
effective tool for rapid point-of-care detection of PMPs at bedside. This method can be
applied in a drop of blood on spot/bedside by patient himself or care provider. The novelty
of this product lies in its ease of fabrication and detection method, as no electrochemical
sensor has yet been reported which could facilitate quick screening and diagnosis of
individuals at high-risk for developing cardiovascular diseases, thus eliminating
requirement of high end lab facilities and experienced technicians as needed in current PMP
detection procedures. Our biosensor is most ideal for mass population screening programs
at periphery-level healthcare units with limited resources. It is aimed at early detection of
individuals having higher imminent cardiovascular risk, which include people having positive
family history, history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking habits or sedentary
life styles, as well as for routine analysis, which in turn would contribute to better
management and survival of screened high-risk subjects. This work has been published in
January 2015 issue of Biosensors and Bioelectronics (Kailashiya, J., Singh, N., Singh, S.K.,

1. INNOVATION
1.1 Hydrogen: (Indigenous, clean, renewable and climate friendly) fuel for India:-
In the present innovation hydrogen fueled vehicular transport for India with
particular reference to three wheeler has been innovated/developed. India is an oil
(petroleum) starved country. It has only scant fraction of World Oil Reserves (it has only
~0.9% of WOR, whereas Middle East has ~60%, North America including oil shale ~30%
and China has ~5%. India is number 23rd country in the matter of oil production. Due to
import of all the oil that India needs (~160MT) and also the aspect relating to climate
change/global warming (carbon emission) effects resulting from use of petroleum, India is
urgently in need of an indigenous, renewable and climate friendly fuel. Decades of research
has shown that Hydrogen is such a fuel. Being produced from water through a variety of
input energies including Solar Energy Hydrogen after use in IC Engine (or fuel cell) burns
back to water. Hydrogen is thus indigenous, clean, renewable and climate friendly fuel.
India has tremendous water resources (surrounded by 3 Seas together with several other
water sources) and also plentiful of Solar Energy (800 water/m2, next only to South Africa),
Hydrogen may be the fuel of choice to replace petroleum, CNG, LPG etc in India.
1.2 Development of Hydrogen Fueled Three Wheeler:-
Keeping the above aspect in view, we have developed Hydrogen Fueled three
wheeler. The vehicle 3 wheeler has been selected because it is the cheapest and most
polluting vehicle on Indian roads. For travelling 50 kms on a 2 wheeler for two persons will
cost about Rs. 60, but the same for a three wheeler will cost about Rs. 12/-. As regards
pollution aspect the following table makes it clear that 3 wheelers are most polluting
vehicle.

In our (*Percent of total specific emissions from all vehicles in g/m3).
It is clear that 3 wheelers produce much higher pollution that 2 wheelers.
*(Source Society of Indian Automotive Manufactures).
In regard to development of hydrogen fuel vehicle storage of hydrogen has been the
stumbling block. It cuts across distribution, delivery, safe end use applications of hydrogen.
It may be mentioned that even though hydrogen is produced upto the tune of 50MT/year,
its storage technologies are in the process of being developed. Being a light gas (56 times
lighter than air) it has to be stored. It is now generally agreed that for small vehicles like
two and three wheelers (and small cars), the mode of hydrogen storage corresponds to
hydride (hydrogen absorbed /adsorbed in solids). The self ignition energy of hydrogen is
only 0.02 mJ as against 0.29 for petrol. In this respect hydrogen is more hazardous than
petrol. It has been shown under Japanese WE-NET programme that when high pressure
gaseous cylinder (~200 Atmosphere) bursts, probability of survival for human beings is
negligible, within an area covering ~6 meter radius.
When hydrogen is stored in hydrides, it is very safe since free hydrogen is not
available hydrogen is locked in the crystal lattice and will come out only when desired
through rise of temperature to moderate levels (e.g. ~60oC from the exhaust heat of the IC
engine).
Use of hydride as the storage mode for vehicular transport requires the fabrication
of hydride heat exchanger tank (HHET). This is so since, the hydride has very low thermal
conductivity (0.5 to 1.0 W/mK). Therefore, in order to get the hydride mass effectively
heated by exhaust heat, the hydride mass has to be distributed. This distribution is done
through dispersing the total hydride mass in Al tubes mounted in a supporting framework.

The design of hydride heat exchanger tank is determined by finding effective surface area
which will interface with the exhaust heat leading to release of almost all the hydrogen
absorbed in hydrides. The HHET requires space. In two-wheelers there is hardly any space
available. In 3-wheelers on the other hand, there is at least adequate space in the small
luggage van (~3.5x ~1.5x ~1.5) behind the passenger seats or in the space below the
passenger seats (~4x ~1.5x ~1.5). The availability of adequate space forms another
reason why 3 wheeler forms more viable vehicle for conversion to run on hydrogen fuel.
1.3 The BHU Team has developed 21 different types of hydrides. BHU has the largest
and most innovative R&D on a variety of hydrides such as intermetallic (AB, AB2, A5, e.g.
FeTi, ZrFe2, Mg2Ni, LaNi5 and their tailored versions), Alanates, NaAlH4, LiAlH4, Mg(AlH4)2
and also the elemental hydride of Mg (MgH2). However, for use of hydrogen storage in 3
wheelers mischmetal based hydride of the type MmNi5-xFex (we have a patent on this) has
been used. This is due to plentiful availability of Mm in India.
1.4 Design and Fabrication of Hydride Heat Exchanger Tank (HHET)
The hydrogen stored in hydrides (which are safest and most efficient storage
modes) has to be taken out and then supplied to hydrogen engine. The liberation of
hydrogen from hydride will need heating of the hydride from ~50oC to ~100oC. A novel
solution will correspond to heating the hydride bed through exhaust gas (which in the case
of hydrogen fuel consists mostly of steam and N2). Generally the exhaust gas temperatures
for small vehicle like 3-wheeler is expected to reach to about 150 to 200oC at the engine
exit. At the entry of hydride tank the temperatures get decreased to about 80 to 100oC. The
hydride bed needs to be heated to about 50 to 60oC for liberation of hydrogen from
hydride.
It may be mentioned that since hydrides generally have very poor thermal
conductivity (~0.5 to ~1.0 W/mk), the hydride mass has to be distributed. This is done by
housing the hydride powder in Al tubes. These tubes get heated up thereby heating the
hydride powder which liberates hydrogen.
For the case of three wheeler first the range of quantity of hydrogen required to run
the four stroke 175cc engine will require to run, will be determined. Then the hydride heat
exchanger will be designed base don (a) the heat transfer from the exhaust to the hydride
bed (b) space available for the hydride tank. The optimum space available below the
12
-
4
passenger seat/small luggage compartment behind the seat is about (~3.5 x ~1.4 x ~1.5).
The hydride tank has to be so designed so as it interfaces with the exhaust heat in a manner
so as to have the desorption rate of hydrogen to meet the engine requirement and to get all
the absorbed hydrogen liberated.
The equation for heat transfer across the hydride containing tube is:
Q = UATm
Where
Q = heat transferred per unit time, W, U = the overall heat transfer coefficient, W/m0C A = heat transfer area, m2 Tm = the mean temperature difference, the temperature driving force, 0C
The prime objective in the design of our heat exchanger is to determine the
surface area required for the specified rate of heat transfer using the temperature
difference available.
The overall coefficient is the reciprocal of the overall resistance to heat
transfer, which is the sum of several individual resistances. For heat exchange
across a typical heat-exchanger tube the relationship between the overall
coefficient and the individual coefficients (see Figure HHET:1) which are the
reciprocals of the individual heat resistances, is given by:

1.4 The next step in the development of hydrogen fueled three wheeler vehicle is
optimization of internal combustion engine. The following forms the basics of
this optimization.
1.4.1 : Preignition and knock : To avoid preignition knock we do not pass the hydrogen via
the carburetter but the hydrogen is injected through tank manifold injection.
1.4.2 Reduction of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) : To reduce Nox we use lean hydrogen air mixture.
A typical value corresponds to < 0.5 .
1.4.3 Improvement of efficiency of hydrogen fueled IC engine : Since hydrogen is a light
fuel, it occupies larger volume of the combustion chamber, therefore efficiency is lowered.
In order to increase the efficiency higher compression ratio is used. For this the piston head
is properly machined so that the compression ratio increases from ~ 8 to ~ 12.

2. HIGHLIGHTS OF HYDROGEN FUELED THREE WHEELER
2.1 We are developing 8 hydrogen fueled three wheelers in our laboratory under
support from MNRE. All these carry hydride bed, (hydride heat exchanger tank).
The design of HHET is given in the above and is also shown in enclosed PPT.
2.2 The hydride bed (HHET) requires heating upto ~ 600C, this heating is done through
the exhaust of the engine. Hydrogen is a lean burning system, therefore, some
amount of hydrogen left while charging is able to start the engine. Then the exhaust
starts coming which is fed to HHET.
2.3 We built up a module three wheeler for the company International Cars and Motors
Limited, Jhalandhar (Sister company of Sonalika Tractors). This was nick name as
MUSTANG and was exhibited in the Auto Expo at New Delhi.
2.4 We are the first to make Hydrogen Fueled Three Wheeler in India (and possibly
anywhere else).
2.5 It may be pointed out that instead of IC engine hydrogen fuels cells can also be used
for running the three wheeler via an electrical motor. However, the cost will be very
high, thus instead of ~ 1.5 lakhs (which hydrogen kit will be about ~2.3. lakhs), the
hydrogen base fuel cells based three wheeler will cost at least ~ 30 lakhs. Also like
battery the electrodes of fuel cells will have to change after about 500 hours.
2.6 Because of these limitations hydrogen fueled IC engine based 3 wheelers are best
suited for India.
2.7 We have some patents on this R&D efforts. Some other has been submitted.
(a) A novel AB5 type hydrogen storage material and process and preparation thereof in the name of "Banaras Hindu University" Patent Granted Varanasi [Patent no. # 243938]

2.8 It is requested that the government may declare Varanasi as Hydrogen City where
starting from 25 to 100 hydrogen fuelled 3 wheelers may be run in about 2 years
time. Some auto company we attached to manufacture hydrogen fuelled 3 wheelers
based on the methodology and technology developed by us.

Innovations of Dr O S K S Sastri:
1 Development of Low Cost Data Acquisition System SAI80 Interfacing using Parallel Port:
This project aims at design and development of a Low Cost Analog to Digital Converter card along
with signal conditioning circuits for directly connecting the sensors to the interface, which is
connected to the PCs Parallel Port. The commercially available instruments for the Laboratory are
quite expensive for the colleges in a developing country like India. So the idea of developing a Low
Cost ADC card was conceived. The software for acquiring, displaying and analysis of data was
written in Visual Basic. The card features two modes of data acquisition single ended and
differential with four independent channels. It also has a digital output for triggering purpose. The
interface has been tested successfully at the physics Laboratory of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher
Learning in running the Mechanics lab for two consecutive years. The expertise was shared with
teachers at the refresher course organised by Academic Staff College, Himachal Pradesh University,
Shimla.
2 Development of Classical Mechanics laboratory based on Video Capture using Webcam and
Analysis using Tracker:
This project is aimed at developing good videos of sports and games that serve as mechanical
systems that can not be studied using manual techniques as well as easily available low cost
sensors. Obtaining the trajectory of various balls like basket ball, Volley ball, football dropped from
top of a building, bouncing these balls to determine coefficient of restitution, studying the projectile
motion and the effect of air resistance of these various games like basket ball/volley ball on one
hand and shuttle badminton on the other. Tossing of a table tennis ball using the racket, to
understand damping. Throwing a tt racket in a projectile to understand center of mass concept. All
these outdoor activities need a good quality video camera for capture. Many lab experiments are
developed that can be captured using a commonly available webcam. A few experiments that were
developed are, Study of simple harmonic oscillators (pendulums and spring mass systems), damped
harmonic oscillators, forced oscillator and coupled oscillator. Study of complex systems such as
varying mass spring-mass system, double pendulum, etc. The idea of video capture using webcam
and analysis using Tracker software (open source) have been shared at many workshops and
conferences. Hands-on training has been provided to about 50 teachers from Bangalore, Mumbai,
Gulbarga, Midnapore and Shimla.
3 Model Based Computer Simulations for Solving Differential Equations in Physics:
This is aimed at developing the much needed simulation skills of current generation science
students. Model based simulations do not need knowledge of programming. All the programming
modules like integration, summation, plotting etc are in the form of blocks whose parameters can be
varied. These blocks are put together to model the differential equation involved. The power of the
techniques is to the extent that virtual experiments have been designed and developed. The idea has
been implemented as part of classical mechanics course with very good response for over a period
of 5 years. These simulation procedures were shared with teaching community at various state and
national level seminars and workshops.

different potentials
The energy eigen values for the square well potential are obtained by solving the time-independent
Schrdinger equation. The Crank-Nicholson method and psuedo-spectral techniques have been
implemented for solving the time dependent Schrdinger equation for free particle, square well
potential and step potential. The variational Monte-Carlo technique has been implemented for
obtaining the ground-state wavefunctions of particle in Lennard-Jones potential and 2-D Harmonic
Oscillator potential.
5 Set of Innovative Demonstration Experiments using Line Profile Analysis in Tracker
The classical single slit and double slit experiments are performed using laser in the classroom and
the interference pattern obtained on the observation screen is photographed using webcam. The line
profile analysis feature in Tracker is utilised to show the intensity pattern on the LCD projector
output. The experiment is repeated for 3,4 and 5 slits to explain how the no of secondary maximum
are related to the no of slits. The slits are generated using simple commands in Scilab and the
relationship between intensity patterns and the Fourier transform of the slits is demonstrated. Then,
the whole analysis is extended to 2-D objects like rectangular and circular apertures.
6 Utility of 1W LEDs: Unusual Applications
The current driver for 1W white Leds has been constructed and the lights are utilised to serve as
table lamps for the dark room to perform optics experiments. Similarly, the current driver for 6, 1W
red leds, has been designed and constructed and is arranged to reflect light from the deeper skin so
that veins could be observed easily. This was tested on volunteers of blood donation at Sri Sathya
Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Bangalore.

The Central University of Kerala is a pioneer institution, which envisages teaching, learning, research,innovation and extension activities with an interdisciplinary approach, which could be translated into socially and economically viable products and services. In a knowledge driven society, where excellence, expansion and equity remain the mantras for a globalized competitive world, innovation can alter the existing production and delivery systems with a strong bearing on competence, quality, productivity and efficiency, enabling to fetch cost effective products and services. In pursuance of this, Central University of Kerala has taken an initiative to launch an innovation club with members belonging to different sections of the stakeholders of the University.Theclub with 100 members,has started its activities with the primary vision of encouraging young minds to think out of the boxand take up practical approaches to bring forth socially useful end products addressing the question of accessibility, affordability and availability to the community at large.
The major programs initiated are as follows:
1. Development of affordable nanoparticle based assay for the detection ofsmall non coding RNAs/ nucleic acids as biomarkers for the detection ofDiseases such as:
a. Cancerb. Diabetic retinopathyc. Viral infections
2. Development of drug targeting molecules to specifically target drug to atumor site.
3. Engineering proteins with an aim toa. Develop better varieties of crops: eg. Engineering the nitrogen
fixing enzymes for bettering the nitrogen utilization efficiency inplants.
b. Develop more efficient therapeutic proteins from human/plant/animal sources. Eg: the enzyme asparaginase is used in the therapyof cancer form bacterial sources because the efficiency of humanprotein is very low. However, if the human asparaginase could beengineered to be more efficient, that would be more idealtherapeutic. Further, asparaginase from plant and animal sourcescan be shuffled to generate better varieties of the enzyme.
Research in the specified fields is expected to generate out put in the form of patented products.
Though the club has made a humble start, it envisages to broadenits scope to include many more fields that will bring out socially relevant affordable products out of the cutting edge research going on in the University.

Brief Write-up on Achievements of Innovation Club
As per the directions by His Excellency the President of India, to set up an Innovators Club. The Central University of Punjab, Bathinda has taken an initiative to institute Innovators Club. As a part of the event of Innovators Club First Innovators Day was organised on January 17, 2014 and Second Innovators Day on January 22, 2015, to motivate and encourage the students, farmers and general public. Series of events were organised to recognise the unacknowledged innovations which could provide solutions to the emerging requirements and needs of the society.
First Innovators Day (17th January 2014)
160 participants were mobilised from various schools, colleges and members of different communities and industries to showcase their models. A total of 50 models from the different categories entered the competition; models were based on various mechanical, electronic principles and environmental issues. Prof. R. K. Tuli, Former Director, National Agri-food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali, was the Chief Guest of the event who discussed various programmes undertaken at global level to encourage the innovations world over. Prof. J. S. Hundal, Director, Giani Zail Singh, Punjab Technical University Campus, Bathinda, was the Keynote speaker, who shared his views on rural innovations and techniques.
People participated enthusiastically and prizes for the best 3 entries in various categories were given. Some of the models developed by farmers on nursery production and precision farming were innovative and invited a very wide interest. The machine developed as Paddy Chopper by Shri Darshan Singh was the main attraction which cuts the paddy stubble from the roots thereby reducing residual burning which is major concern in this region.
Second Innovators Day (22nd January 2015)
After the overwhelming response in the first year, this year on 22 January, 2015 Second Innovators Day was organized in which more than 50 entries from students, general public and industry were received. The chief guest was Dr. K. K. Bhutani, Officiating Director, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER), Mohali and the guest of honor was Dr. S. S. Marwaha, Chief Executive Officer, Punjab Biotechnology Incubator, Mohali. This year the Innovators Club along with the Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan signed MoU with 6 schools and colleges. The Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan laboratory has been set up in the university to make science interesting for school children and to inculcate a desire for enquiry-based learning and encourage students towards the fields of maths and science learning.
As far as the networking is concerned efforts are on and MoU has already been signed with Punjab Biotechnology Incubator, Mohali which is a state-of-the- art Agricultural and Food Testing Laboratory.
In near future the Innovators Club will be expanded further as Innovators Center, which will be hub for the innovators to share and promote their unique ideas which fail to get recognition otherwise.

Title of the Innovation: A therapeutic approach to prevent sexual transmission of HIV
Dr. Jay Kant Yadav
Background: Accumulation
of ordered protein aggregates
(or amyloids) represents a
hallmark of many diseases
(e.g., Alzheimers disease,
type II diabetes, Parkinsons
diseases etc.) results from
intermolecular association of
partially unfolded proteins/
peptides. Recently, the role of amyloids has been established in sexual transmission of HIV. Human
semen consist of a 39 amino acid long peptide, derived from Prosthetic acid Phosphatase (PAP), that
form amyloid (known as Semen derived Enhancer of Virus Infection of SEVI) and enhance the
infectivity of HIV by 100000 fold under experimental conditions. (Ref. Nature Comm., 2014, 5:3508).
The Innovation: Development of a therapeutic approach to destabilize the semen-derived amyloids.
The present invention
relates to the identification
of a therapeutic principles
derived from Mint plant
(Mentha viridis) that has
shown to inhibit amyloid
formation. To confirm the
inhibition we have used in
silico and in vitro approach
identify the key amino acid
sequence of PAP(248-286),
24
-
(It is commonly found in human seminal fluid as amyloid and enhancement of HIV infectivity), that
play crucial role in amyloid formation. This sequence is now referred as PAP(273-286). Initially, we
observed the inhibitory activity against PAP(273-286) amyloid formation and later on we tried to
confirm the active ingredient/s in the extract using similar approach. Out of the entire components
identified in the mint plant till date, MET was found to be highly effective in preventing amyloid
formation as well as destabilization of preformed aggregates. The present innovation also anticipates
development of a potential therapeutic strategy to cure other amyloid related human diseases.

Achievement of Innovation Club at IIT Bhubaneswar
IIT Bhubaneswar has been involved in various innovative activities since its inception. These innovations
have been in various areas like teaching, research, product development, health and socio-economic
development. Students and faculty members of the Institute have been actively working towards
providing innovative solutions to various problems in these areas.
During the initial phase of the Institute, when setting up of laboratories came as an impediment, the
Innovation Club turned this adversity into opportunity by innovating completely novel ways of
conducting those classes which resulted in even higher student involvement and participation. Those
methodologies are being followed now in many other educational institutes as an established practice.
Members of the innovation club undertook a study on the LPG distribution system in the country. They
found out that there are two kinds of problems from two different segments of the consumers. In one
case, a huge number of cylinders (around 50 million) remain idle for a long period of time with
consumers who have two cylinder connections. On the other hand, a large number of consumers
(around 66 million) suffer from non-availability of cylinders because of the time lag between ordering
and receiving a new cylinder. The team then came out with a novel method and apparatus for
automation and optimization of LPG cylinder distribution system.
Another group of the club have tried to tackle the issues related to public security. Timely reporting and
authentic witness gathering in case of any road accident or roadside crime such as riot, robbery etc. are
major challenges that law enforcement and relief supply agencies are facing today. Hence the group
worked on an invention that involves the development of a system which can solve the above stated
problem, more specifically the invention is directed to provide a vehicle mounted monitoring and
surveillance system which is designed to track the vehicle position and monitor the vehicle surrounding
with provision of timely forwarding the surveillance data to a central database.
IIT Bhubaneswar has always given emphasis on the green technologies. In this regard the innovation
club has developed products which can save energy in every household. One such invention is a
processing condition monitoring system for utility products such as food processors and the like wherein
every user of such product will contribute towards saving some energy through its use. Students have
also developed products to improve general health situation. An intelligent fluid consumption
monitoring system for dynamical health monitoring is one such product. A novel and more economic
way of producing Hydrogen has also been developed by the club which is a major contribution to the
domain of alternative energy.
Apart from these specific innovations, the Institute has also produced many inventions in order to solve
day to day problems. With all these inventions the Institute Innovation Club has filed nine patents and
three more are in the process of being filed. The Institute now has got the funding approval from the
Ministry of HRD to start one of the Design Innovation Centers which has a vision of infusing a culture of
innovative thinking in the budding engineers through interdisciplinary projects leading to development
of educational and community driven products primarily for children.
