Engineering students are known for their knack for tinkering around with things and fabricating the designs in their heads. And from time to time, they come together to bring ingenious ideas to life. These third-year Mechanical Engineering students from Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering, Mysuru, have accomplished just that!

They have built a low-cost cooling machine that will help street vendors keep their perishable products fresh in this blazing summer.  

The Team And Their Thought Process

Naveen H V, Shubham Sain, Supreeth S, and Vivek Chandrashekhar are the brains behind this incredible project. In order to come up with this project, three of them had to do extensive research and brainstorming.  

Initially, they started by probing the problems faced by vendors in the city and brainstormed together to form a few viable solutions for them. In the next stage, after considering expert advice from professionals and thinking about all the possible use-cases, they finally reached the model of their end-product.   

“We took suggestions from the experts and then came up with an air-cooled chamber and sourced solar energy for the electricity so that the machine remains self-reliant. The present model requires the vendors to charge it once a day at home after which the system depends on solar energy for electricity requirements.” Said Naveen H V, who led the research team.

The carts, once deployed, can store fruits, vegetables, and even dairy products fresh in the summer as it is maintained at a temperature range of 0 to 10° Celsius.  

The Afterthought

Is it something complex and sophisticated? No, not really. Was it something that was very much needed? Absolutely!

We often are so immersed in our idea of tech and development that we believe only self-driving cars or language generators can be considered a true brainchild of technology. Although they may be cutting-edge inventions, we can only utilise the true expanse of technology once we are capable of identifying the needs of those around us and creating ideas to make life easier.   

Engineering students all across the country can take this story as an example and remember that it is your ethical duty to remain at the forefront of humanitarian commitments. Kudos to these students!
