Kerala's First 3D Printed Building

Created as a showcase project, AMAZE-28, the single-room summer house, was successfully constructed within 28 days on the grounds of the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra. The 3D-printed building at the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra in Thiruvananthapuram. (Photo: Shekunj)  The inauguration of Kerala's inaugural 3D-printed structure, a 380-square-foot single-room summer house, is scheduled to take place on October 10 at the Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra (Kesnik) campus located in PTP Nagar, Thiruvananthapuram.  Conceived as a showcase initiative, the summer house named AMAZE-28 was successfully finished within a mere 28 days. This impressive project was executed by Tvasta, a construction technology startup based in Chennai, founded by alumni of IIT-Madras, who have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kesnik.  AMAZE-28 is perched upon a concrete foundation atop a gentle elevation within the Kesnik campus.

Amperion and Wav: As a E-vehicle Enthusiast you should know about these

The Indian automobile sector currently ranks fifth globally and is expected to rise to third place by 2030. Dependence on the traditional forms of fuel-intensive mobility will not be viable for serving the enormous domestic market. Federal authorities are creating a mobility alternative that is "Shared, Connected, and Electric" in an effort to address this, and they have set an ambitious goal of attaining 100% electrification by 2030. 

India has a lot to gain by switching to electric vehicles (EVs), including access to qualified labour in the manufacturing and technology industries and a relative abundance of renewable energy supplies. If India continues to make steady progress toward achieving its ambitious 2030 objective, the EV market in India will provide a US$206 billion potential by 2030, according to an independent assessment by CEEW Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF). This would necessitate an overall investment in vehicle manufacturing and charging infrastructure of approximately US$180 billion. 

In this scenario,  Apollo Tyres introduced two new tyre brands for electric passenger vehicle. The tyre manufacturer also had to come up with a unique technology to build these products, and they will roll out of the company’s facilities in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. These new brands are:

  1. Amperion
  2. Wav

 After Ceat and JK Tyres, Apollo Tyres now jumps on the EV tyre bandwagon in India with two new products: Amperion and Apollo WAV. Prices for these two recently introduced items have not yet been disclosed, although it is anticipated that they will be more expensive than standard tyres designed for ICE-centric automobiles.  

Amperion and Apollo Wav
Amperion and Apollo Wav Launch

Amperion Tyre

The Amperion tyre, which is intended for four-wheel vehicles such as the Tata Nexon EV and EV MAX, MG ZS EV, and Hyundai Kona, is advertised as having the lowest rolling resistance in its class, as well as reduced noise, an electric tread pattern design, and an aerodynamic sidewall.
One of the most energy-efficient and silent animals, jellyfish served as inspiration for the design of these tyres. The Amperion is also the first tyre developed in India to get a fuel savings designation from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) with five-star ratings in the PV category.

WAV Tyre

 A unique design is also added to the Apollo WAV to help it have low rolling resistance, low weight, and high traction to withstand the initial torque. High-speed scooters like the Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, etc. are all compatible with it thanks to its design. The design of these tyres for electric two-wheelers was also influenced by a digital circuit board. 

The company also plans to manufacture tyres for electric motorcycles in the next phase of production. 

Unique Technology of Apollo Tyres 

To create these new tyres, the Indian tyre maker had to develop a novel technology known as "AQuT Tech" (Apollo Quite Tyre Technology). To reduce noise, this technology works on the tyre cavity, pattern, and construction.

Additionally, they created the "Battery Energy Saver Technology" or "BEST Tech," which is used in conjunction with an ultra-low RR (Rolling Resistance) technology package and aids in extending the battery range of an electric car.

Making LED Fade in and out using Arduino

Hi Friends!!!!!! We have learnt how to blink LED with the help of Arduino, that's great! But now we will learn how to make a LED fade in and out gradually using a function in arduino : analogWrite(); Let's have a look on components, which we are going to need ahead. COMPONENT NEED -  Breadboard (1) Arduino (1) Jumper Wires LED 5mm (1) Resistor1K ohm (1) Power Source 5V (1) Now we place these components to make a proper circuit. CIRCUIT PREPRATION - Black wire - GND Red Wire   - +5V Take the breadboard and arduino. Connect the GND from arduino to -Ve terminal on breadboard. Similarly +5V to the +Ve terminal on breadboard.   Now place the LED on breadboard. Connect the positive terminal of LED to the 9th pin of arduino. Why we connecting the LED to the pin 9 of arduino ???? Because pin 9 of arduino can be used for PWM purpose. We needed PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) because Arduino board can only give digital signal (HI...

Controlling LEDs over WiFi using NodeMCU and Blynk App.

This article is the base on the Internet of things ( IoT ) . IoT describes the network of physical objects—“things” or objects—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet. In this article 3 LEDs will be controlled by an android application (made using Blynk) over a wifi connection. How to use NodeMCU with Blynk  If you want to start learn the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, then controlling a LED over the  internet is the " Hello World!" of the IoT journey. Performing the " Hello World" task will be easy using NodeMCU micro-controller as the first client and Blynk as the 'broker' or server and Blynk android application as the second client. Now communication between two clients will happen through broker over the internet. Now lets, make this happen.  Components Required For this activity we will need following components: Nod...

Blinking of LED Using Arduino UNO

Hi !!!! Here we are going to learn very very simple use of Arduino, that is blinking of a LED. Here we will do simplest project using Arduino. So, here we go.... COMPONENTS REQUIRED - Bread Board Arduino UNO Jumper Wires Power Source (5V) / Battery Resistor (1K) CIRCUIT PREPA RATION - Take bread board and Arduino. Connect the +5V from Arduino to the +Ve line on Bread Board and GROUND from Arduino to -Ve line on bread board. Red Wire     : +5 V Black Wire  : GROUND     Now put a LED on bread board. Connect the Anode (+ / Longer terminal) of led to the pin 13 of Arduino. Connect Cathode (- / Shorter terminal)  to 1K ohm resistor and connect another terminal of resistor to the GND on breadboard.   Now our circuit is ready to work.  Our next aim is to build the code. Let's make our code. CODE -     To download the complete code -  CLICK HERE -----------------------------...
