| 10 | Project Title : Development of 3D Printed arm or elbow operated water tap handles to make the water tap handles safer in common washrooms
Expected Outcome : To make an "L" shape object that can be fit on the water tap handles and permit to open them with arm or elbow to make the water taps safer during public use of common washrooms at the crowded places. After the development of these 3D printed parts, it is expected to be delivered to hospitals, factories and similar most crowded places for its installation. Expected Timeline : 01 month Remarks : Water taps are set to be among the most contagious because of common washrooms have been permitted at crowded places. Therefore, to prevent direct hand contact, 3D printing has been utilised to fabricate arm or elbow operated water tap handles in this project. This simple concept can be easily implementable without removing any existing components and permit to open normal water tap handles along with different water flow rates by arm or elbow to make the water taps safer from the coronavirus (COVID 19) during public use of common washrooms at the crowded places.

Expected Outcome : In this proposal the researchers are going to develop an automatic sanitizing system that can disinfect the hands of the people during this pandemic condition automatically. Expected Timeline : 01 month Remarks : The world is facing covid-19 pandemic situation which has proven to be very hazardous situation. To fight against this social distancing and sanitization is very useful. We Propose designing of a automatic hand sanitizing machine that could be helpful in during this war against covid-19. In this current situation there is a need to install these sanitizing units in the public places to avoid contact with the virus. Also the proposed design makes optimized use of sanitizer to reduce its wastage and avoid overuse. In a broad way, the hand sanitizing device is developed by making use of a acrylic sheet which is cut to a specific dimension. The system comprises of a high pressure pipe with mist nozzle which operates with air pressure and pump. The system is automated by using a controlling unit to sense the presence of hand and gets on automatically. URL : PI Details : Dr. Gajendra Dixit Professor Department of Mechanical Engg. Er.
