AICERA 2019 is an  International Conference dedicated to Go-Green-Gamification. Academicians and experts from variegated domains of Automobile, Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical Engg. are expected to attend, making it a truly productive one. The three-day event will provide exposure to erudite work by researchers in the field. It also facilitates interaction among academicians, engineers and research scholars. Sessions on the side-line will discuss recent advances, challenges, breakthroughs and research innovations on various gaming aspects of green technologies

Seagulls have inspired Geelong researchers’ new device for “small-scale” production of green energy. Deakin University’s Dr. Jorg Schluter used the shape and function of seagull wings to design a “modern generation” of wind turbine blades. The blades delivered up to 15 percent more power than a conventional wind turbine, his research found. Dr. Schluter said research into small-scale turbines was previously lacking. “We saw the potential to improve the generating capacity of the small-scale turbines and looked to the sky for ideas to improve the blade design “I think many of us have stood at the shoreline at some point in our lives and marveled at sea birds soaring in the breeze, mastering aerodynamics better than anything man-made.” The new design could improve green power generation in remote locations, Dr. Schluter said. “Increasing the capacity of these small-scale turbines make them far more useful for reliable power generation, especially in rural and remote a...

A two day workshop on Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) was conducted on 27 th  April and 4 th  May ,2019, by the team SATVAN, from Federal Institute Of Science And Technology. The workshop provided an overview about the HPV competition conducted by ASME during their three day long e-fest. It also provided the participants with key information on topics ranging from basic designing of a HPV to testing and analysis of its various parts.     The first session of the workshop was conducted 0n 27 th  April 2019.The session was started on 10.00 AM by Mr. Krishna Prakash who led Team SATVAN for the last three years during the competition. On the first day the team shared their experiences, the challenges they faced , how they overcame it and the basic outlay of the competition and a human powered vehicle. The experiences that the team shared filled the students with a lot of inspiration. A small session was conducted familiarizing the race events – ‘Enduran...
