13. Vibrational energy converter works on �Faraday�s law of electromagnetic
induction�. In this system a band having a copper coil translates between two
magnets due to vibrations occurring in the band due to jerks and flow of air
velocity, this phenomenon generates EMF, which can be used as a source of energy.
This energy can be utilized in LED�s and mobile chargers in the vehicle. INNOVATON

VARIATIONS IN DESIGN
21. VARIABLE CHAMBER MECHANISM - The variable camber mechanism is a modification in
the front suspension design which will allow us to vary the camber angle at will.
This is done through using adjustment bolts which will help vary the distance
between the upper knuckle joint and the chassis. Camber can be varied in test runs
and the optimum camber can be decided for the particular condition. INDEPENDENT
FENDERS-The fender is a removable attachment to the A-arms of the suspension which
help to block dirt & sludge away from the driver. It is mounted on the A-arms using
pipe brackets hence avoiding drilling of any holes. The assembly is spring loaded
allowing it to undergo slight deflections and not making it rigid and prone to
failure. INNOVATIONS

25. SAE INDIA BAJA ? Baja is an inter-collegiate design competition organized by
the Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) ?Provide Indian students with a
standard platform to showcase their talent and potential not only in terms of
design and engineering, but also their capability for team-work, entrepreneurial
skills and management. ?The contest challenges each team to function as a firm,
whose task is to design, fabricate, market and race-off an off-road vehicle that
will be evaluated on a variety of manufacturing angles. ?The vehicles are judged
based on their ability to maneuver and transverse harsh off-road racing course
while not succumbing to the rigors of it.
