What is the approximate cost to develop a total vehicle?
First, it will be advanced from basic to advanced. Sir, we can do it with less cost. We can do it with less cost. We can do it with advance. We can upgrade this vehicle in the future from next projects.
We have collaborated with all the branches.
Sir, not only the entire mechanical college, you can communicate with the driver if you have any interest.
Sir, it would be difficult if we had a radio. The cockpit is closed, ours is an open cockpit.
Okay, very good. Now you have made a steering braking system. It has suspensions. If any vehicle does not have suspension, it cannot withstand the shock. Since it runs completely on a track, it does not need suspensions.
So now you are in the driving position. For example, how much experience do you have as a driver safety? There is a fire extender.
Yes, it fell down, sir. If it fell down to that doll, when it went up, it means that ours rolled over. Sir, we have to take a return and go again. Sir, okay, what is the accident? Sir, the accident happened to other vehicles. Sir, it means the same thing happened to the vehicle in front of us.
Dear students and parents, today these four students are sitting in front of us. They are present recently passed out and mechanical engineering students coming from third year to final year.
Along with them, a few others recently participated in the third edition of the DKDC Dot Cat Design Challenge competition held in Goa. In it, a vehicle was presented by a club called Nitro Ace from our Ace Engineering College Mechanical. The performance of this vehicle won the first prize of Rs. 40,000 in the DKDC Challenge held there.
So, I am joining them in saying that their project will give hope to many people who are discouraged about mechanical engineering these days. So first of all, Manikanta acted as the team principal, that is, the principal for this project and this competition. So Manikanta, tell me what is your role sir.
My role is team principal, sir. It means arranging the materials required for the project, the permissions, the vehicles, the tools required for the vehicle, but my task is to arrange all those materials or manpower. So as an administrator principal, I mean, there is a connection with the DKDC people who conducted this competition, the Ace Engineering College Manager, Principal, HODs. Okay, the wall in the middle is okay.
Very good. What did you say? Tell me your name.
Father, sir. My name is Rishi Chandra.
I am a team manager.
My role is in this. I handled the entire managing skills, sir. The entire fabrication process, from design to the entire end-to-end project, from design to fabrication. And again, our team went to Goa, sir, where the entire fabrication was done, and again, whatever changes came, whatever time there was, we didn't lose, even if there were bugs, we overcame them all and did everything on time. I mean, where did you get these design concepts from?
Our seniors did it earlier, sir.
Those three to four go gods were already done in our college. They participated in a different kind of event.
After seeing that vehicle, we got a basic interest through our interest in motor sports.
Yes, sir, they inspired us and that's how we came up with the idea to make a new vehicle.
So how long did it take you? In total, it took six months from starting to ending.
Okay, college classes were made without effect. Okay, very good, tell me your name, father sir.
My name is Vishnuvardhan sir.
I will come to my role and work on the main part, the steering and braking system. The steering and braking system is the main part.
Where should the steering system be arranged? If the braking is to be effective, if the car is to run safely, yes, the braking system is important. So, I worked on the steering arrangement on the braking system so that this turn can be made.
Now, to be honest, we can take this vehicle on the roads.
You can take that.
You can take it. Take it away.
It also has ground clearance, sir.
That is, how can we go there on the DOT card, so it is off-road, sir, it also goes on our roads. Otherwise, there would be a little trouble near the speed breakers. This means that permission must also be obtained from RTI. Okay, tell me your details.
My name is Srujan sir. I am a power train engineer and driver.
How did you drive? These are the batteries, electrical batteries, that is, how do we transmit the power from the motor to these wheels?
My rules are how fast the vehicle can go on the road.
On the road, let's say it's 60 km/h.
Theoretically, let's say in a smooth wind. How fast can it go? Let's say frictionless.
Frictionless. Considering all the weight of our vehicle, it can reach 90 km/h. Sir, it can reach 90 km/h. Very good.
60 km/h. Did you really try it on the roads? We tried it on our college roads.
So, you were the driver, didn't you feel scared? Did you feel scared while starting? Sir, you put on that helmet.
That means it's called the Last Endurance Test.
Sir, the Endurance Test is all about the vehicle performance.
We will give you 45 minutes this week to see how much performance you got.
Sir, there will be non-stop labs. So, what is the battery life, is it 45 minutes?
Sir, we used two batteries, sir, one battery lasts 45 minutes.
According to the rules, according to the event rules, they put an endurance test on this for 45 minutes.
Sir, is that okay? That is, how many laps are covered at what speed, how much endurance do they have?
Sir, how many laps did we cover? They decided their score and our score based on that.
What is the approximate cost to develop a total vehicle?
4.5 to 5 locks became 4.5 to 5 locks.
Okay, some people say, "Well, you can buy a new car for 34 lakhs." And what do you say to that? The answer is a new car. For such challenges, we first design with the basics, research new concepts, and that's it. First, we will advance from the basics.
Sir, if we do small things like this, we can do development in this and make advances with less cost.
Okay, in the future, this vehicle will be upgraded and this knowledge will be transferred to your juniors as well.
Katie, what do you say? How can you take this vehicle forward? What I mean is, in the future, you can start a new car company yourself. Who knows, cars?
That means, what can be the future of this?
That means we have collaborated with all the branches, sir.
Not only the entire mechanical college, no matter what your interest is, you can come and do the interdisciplinary CSM again and you only have to do the coding.
Sir, there's nothing wrong with the electrician coming and you only need to do the wiring. There's nothing like "You can come, everyone can come and do anything."
So we are now installing sensors in the next process, the next upgrade.
Compared to F1, we have radios in the cockpits in F1.
Sir, if we had radios to communicate with the driver, it would be difficult. Sir, the cockpit is closed, while ours is an open cockpit. That through we do not communicate with the driver, through the pit we are looking to install sensors and upgrade something like a communication display, sir, okay very good, now you have made a steering braking system, does it have suspensions, does it? If there is no suspension of any vehicle, it cannot withstand that shock, no, sir, since this is a complete track, suspensions are not needed for it, sir, this Baja ACI Baja is a competition car, suspensions are mandatory there, sir, since you are in the pits, there should be suspension there, sir, for example, whether it is a Benz car or an Indica, both are the same, yes sir, but why does a Benz car cost so much, that suspension system, but everything else is also very much in the comfort zone.
Okay, so in the future, vehicles will have mileage as well as a comfortable design outlook.
Okay, you should keep those in mind too.
Right so now you are in the driving position as a driver safety for example you must have gained experience safety measures one now this vehicle not tomorrow there will be a tractor lorry bus just means you must have gained some experience so what advice do you give to routine drivers that across the globe that is speed should be maintained at safety speed sir yes safety speed that over that means rash driving should be avoided rash driving should be avoided you must have gained experience yes sir if it fell once no not during test drive sir where did the track go side divider aka what happened once insurance one happened sir it happened and that means there is a vehicle in front of us sir their fire extender is fire extender yes it fell down sir if the vehicle fell down to that doll then when it went on top of it it means ours The roll is over sir, we took the return again and went again sir, ah okay, what accident happened, what accident happened to other vehicles, sir, it was the same with the vehicle in front of us, they also got in and the rear tire got blown off, sir, they went out and the vehicle got scratched, ah, that fire extinguisher fell down and the vehicle went over it, that means it is a design problem, yes sir, what does it mean that the temple is falling down like that, it was not fabricated properly, okay so anyway, now just tell me briefly about your vehicle, what do you want to be in the future, principal, we are interested in the automobile side, sir, the automobile side is very good, I will settle in that, like this, research, iPhone, where is lateral entry, my direct lateral entry, B.Tech lateral entry, okay, look at lateral entry students, he is doing B.Tech mechanical after doing diploma, okay, Are you doing any job now?
Sir, I am currently doing an internship at Landskate.
Very good internship. How did you get the internship you got in college?
Yes sir, okay. What are the future prospects?
After this internship, we plan to do MS. Sir, where is the journey? MS in Germany? Yes, we thought yesterday. Mechanical people will have a very good future if they do MS in Germany. The automotive side is very good. What is your future plan? You want to go to the motor sport side.
Sir, one day you will definitely see me in F1.
Super right, so you will definitely do it. Work hard.
But in terms of driving, you should go to something like F1, which means you should have an idea of its technology. We also need to have knowledge about the molecular structure of the vehicle.
Only then will you be able to keep it under full control.
Very good.
You will definitely go for it.
Your goal is the same as your father's. Sir, I am interested in learning and upgrading in automotive. Sir. I am also preparing for JE, sir.
Okay SSC J Yes Sir SSC Did you get any campus placement Yes Sir Which one? Those two came, sir. One was TBLIT and the other was CIVIT Labs in Hyderabad. That's right, that But later, with experience, there will be a better future. You two are final year students, right?
Now you are a third year student, so you are about to enter your final year.
Yes sir, that's it. Okay, what's your goal? Tell me again.
That's right, sir, I'm preparing for JE.
That SSC J, yes sir, junior engineer means all these are mechanical related, so a new task comes every day, so it is a little interesting in the beauty, so okay, so continue with this, now you will come from third to final year. Now, they are coming from second to third years. If you mix with them, be their leader, that is, if you don't do the groundwork and give them guidance, you will learn and another generation will be created. Sir, is it new? Is it registered again? Sir, MM, something else has happened recently.
I am the principal of that. Sir, I am the principal of that.
They have been appointed. This is the final.
Sir, they will be there. They will give guidance. They will give guidance. Give guidance at any time. Because this knowledge is particular mechanical.
In this course of engineering, that knowledge is senior knowledge. Sir, it is very useful.
Okay, are you third year students?
What is your goal? I am taking CRT. Sir, later in college, that became my main goal and I started a start-up in production. Let's put it, put it, sir, put it, which side, which production means product, automotive production, sir, very good, so first in automotive, that is, you have to do the actual work, you have buses from our college, they go for servicing occasionally, let's see what happens, how much opportunity is there now, let's say, in engineering colleges, civil people have the opportunity to learn while construction is going on, there are buses, buses go for some servicing every day, they go as volunteers and what is the real thing, what is the clutch, how is it, where is it doing it, is it doing fraud? So if you learn it, that is, our college, any college, if a student knows, you can learn everything in the college, you have to spend time, very good, so if you want to have your own starter, then do it from the service sector, production, that is, in the service sector, you will understand what is actually what.
Very good. Okay, when we achieve something, we have a supporting system.
So, from the very beginning of this project's initiation until the last minute, there must have been some people behind you who helped and guided you. Can you tell me some names about them?
Who supported you?
Overall, from the very beginning, we explained it first. They gave us permission as an initiative.
Raghuvanshi sir understood us. It would be good if the club was like this. It would be used by automobile students. The college management would also be good.
Because of this, sir, please look at the entire permissions finance, Mamata Madam, sir, we are okay, very good director, Mamata Madam, okay, is there anyone else, steering system, we have any steering system, we are very stuck, sir, there was a crash. The steering system assembly went to the assembly line for testing and it crashed. When that cross happened, we were very disappointed. When we came to the work field, our HOD, Nithin, Dr. Nithin, came and talked to us for 10 minutes. Sir, it didn't matter that it was late. Even though we worked hard all night, he put all his efforts on the steering system to deliver a good product and helped us a lot. Sir, where did Dr. Nithin go?
Okay, very good, very good. And Rithi, Sir, Dr. Rithi, Madam, Rithi Mukherjee, Madam, Rithi Mukherjee, Madam, our faculty coordinator, was always like a backbone to us and kept pushing us. After college hours, the madam we worked with over time also supported us technically beyond college hours. They also helped us a lot technically.
Sir, excellent, excellent.
Nitin sir also helped us a lot in the initial stage design stage. Sir, we are good at design.
But in simulation, sir, sir, they helped us a lot in NSIS simulation. Due to that, I got some knowledge about NSIS. That's very good. And when Anil sir went to Goa, he assisted us there as a guidance. He is like a little child. They got along well. That's all. So, we could have done this project only with everyone's cooperation.
Okay, very good. Thank you. All the best for a better future. So, in the future, all of you should start your own companies or be in a good leading position in top brand companies. Your juniors should get good campus placements when they come to Ace Engineering College. I want to get mechanical. Okay, God bless you.
Thank you.
