(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.

How to Know the NodeMCU IP Address for Your Next IoT Project

  NodeMCU IP Address: The NodeMCU is a popular development board for IoT projects. It’s small, affordable, and comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, making it the perfect choice for creating connected devices. But before you can start building your NodeMCU projects, you need to know the IP address of your device. This IP address is essential for communicating with the NodeMCU from another device, such as a computer or smartphone. In this article, we’ll show you how to find the NodeMCU IP address, so you can get started with your next IoT project. Method 1: To Know the NodeMCU IP Address One of the easiest ways to find the NodeMCU IP address is by using the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE. First, connect your NodeMCU board to your computer using a micro-USB cable. Then, upload the following code to the NodeMCU: #include <ESP8266WiFi.h> void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println(); Serial.print("Connecting to "); Serial.println(...

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...

Python GUI and Arduino: Controlling LED using a Python based Graphics User Interface (GUI)

Python is popular language due to its simple syntax and user friendly properties. It is used in almost every domain form web development to scientific research and development applications. In this article python has been used to develop a simple GUI which used to control some hardware using a micro-controller. Video below shows the working of that GUI.   Components Needed Arduino UNO LED Breadboard Jumper wires Power supply Laptop with python installed Schematic and Circuit User have to command the controller using GUI. Controller will accept the command and  process it to give the out put. Schematic given below shows the process flow. Figure given below shows the circuit diagram of this article. GUI is run on the computer screen and a serial communication connection between Arduino and Computer is established using USB. The command from GUI send to Arduino using this connection. A 5V DC power supply is used to power up the Arduino as well as LED. However it should be noted t...
