Design and Fabrication of Mini Groundnut & Peanut Shelling Machine

 Groundnut is one of the most on demand and on increase legume and the
application depends on the cleanness of the nuts. As the groundnut seed is
surrounded by a pod, which is developed underground, the pod is harvested by
pulling and lifting the plant manually or by using the machine. Usually groundnuts
are shelled simply by hand using manual method. To separate the nuts from its
shell, a shelling machine was designed and developed. This mechanical project
aims at designing and fabricating a groundnut shelling machine. The shelling
machine is operated using electric DC motors which is connected to the external
power supply. When power is supplied to the motors, it rotates the roller which have
shell crushing horns. Groundnut’s are fed into the crushing chamber through hopper
and gets crushed between the semi-circular net and the roller.

Single Stage Gear Reducer Project

 Here we design and fabricate a single stage gear reducer system. This system
makes use of gears with a motor to achieve the desired functionality. Gear reducers
are widely used in gearboxes. One more use of gear reducers is in gear switching in
automobiles. This system demonstrates the single stage gear reducer assembly
using motorize shafts and gear mechanisms in a gearbox frame.

Power Generator Forearms Machine

 We hereby make use of an energy harvester system that moves in response to

movement of the motion of an forearms exercise machine for converting kinetic
energy of the forearms exercise equipment into electrical power. Our system makes
use of the gripping rod connected to spring based motorized mechanism having rack
pinion arrangement and multiple motors to power the system and generate power.
The system aims to provide resistance to forearms movement while generating
power from the same thus serving dual purpose. The machine makes use of 3 motor
arrangement to provide 3 levels of generation capability. The machine aims to
generate electricity through horizontal motion created while working our forearms.
The spring based mechanism allows for efficient resistance settings in the machine
as needed. Increased resistance leads to increased power generation in the
machine.
