“It is in education, that you shall find liberation!!!”

-Nelson Mandela

Education is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the whole world. But do we know the full potential of this weapon?? The answer is NO. In the urban areas most of the students are either confused or have a haphazard way of preparation. So they lag behind in a competitive arena. While in, rural areas the situation is even graver. They doubt the scope of education and eventually they step into their family occupation. Being a member of this elite technical society, it’s our social responsibility to let them know why they are lagging behind. Live as if u were to die tomorrow and learn as not just filling the mind with lots of facts, it is the light that can convert you into a perfect human being.  

Innocent wilderness

Fear behind aggression

“The greatest thrill is not to kill but to let live”

                                   -James Oliver Curwood

According to the environmentalists, bears are one of the most innocent of the wild, but ironically, there is a common belief among the people that they are one of the most furious of the beasts.

This valley has been home to the black bears since ages but in the past few decades there has been a perturbing decline in their population because of increasing human population. At the same time, there have also been several cases where humans have been intensely harmed by the bears, though for defense. These increasing conflicts are detrimental for the bears as well as humans.

We can never be successful technocrats without feeling the essence of nature. Through this initiative, we intend to resolve these conflicts using innovative ideas and technology suited to both.

“You can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of its women”

                                         -Jawaharlal Nehru

Contrary to what our forefathers envisaged, the social development of women has not been able to keep pace with the socio-economic revolution in India. The nation that once took pride of equal status to women and respected them as holy deities has, over the centuries, become one of the most unsafe places for women, who are subjected to various forms of discrimination and atrocities.

According to a global poll conducted by Thomson Reuters, India is the “fourth most unsafe country” in the world for women.

Doesn’t it create a silver tint of clouds in your bosom to see the women trudging through the reign of terror?

Being the vanguard of change, we the young minds of the country would like to work for the upliftment of women in the valley and across the nation through this extravagant event. Through skits, drama, street plays and symposiums, we will strive to be the beacon of awareness for the upliftment of women in different sections of the society, to restore the pristine culture of this once a pious land.

Fulcrum

1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT:

Design and build a tower crane using pop-sickle sticks which can lift a stationary weight and carry it over a wall to place the weight on the other side of it.

2.1 STRUCTURE SPECIFICATION:

The tower crane consists of 5 parts - Base Plot, Tower (Mast), Horizontal Arm (Jib), Elevating Mechanism and Trolley.

2.1.1 Base Plot

A wooden base with a pit of area of cross section 80 mm x 80 mm and depth of 60 mm will be provided by the organizers. The tower of the crane must fit into this pit for proper anchorage.

2.2 Tower (Mast)

1. The tower height must be a minimum of 500 mm above the wooden base and below the arm (jib).

 2. The cross section of the tower must be 80 mm x 80mm at all times upto a height of 300 mm above the wooden base.

 3. The tower height above the arm is not constrained.

2.3 Arm (Jib)

1. The length of the arm must be a minimum of 600 mm.

2. The length of the counter-weight section of the arm must not exceed 300 mm from the centre of the tower.

3. The cross section of the arm may not exceed 160 mm x 160 mm.

4. The arm can be supported by a maximum of 4 threads.

5. Participants are advised to make a flat structure in the counter-weight section for smooth loading and unloading of the counter-weights.

2.4 Elevating Mechanism

1. The lifting mechanism must be motorized.

 2. Participants are allowed to use standard motors, gears, pulleys (cotton thread reels) and readymade gear assemblies for this mechanism.

3. The rope with hook to be attached to the block for lifting will be a cotton thread of diameter 2 mm. This will be provided by the organizers. The participants have to use only this.

4. The power supply for the elevating mechanism may be placed off the crane, on the platform provided.

 5. The maximum potential difference between any two points must not exceed 24 V.

6. The participant must ensure that any electric wiring of the mechanism does not interfere with lifting.

2.5 Trolley

1. The trolley will be used to shift the lifted weight along the length of the arm. This is done by placing the elevating mechanism on the trolley.

2. The trolley mechanism may or may not be motorized.

3. Direct human contact with the trolley is not allowed. Manual pulling of strings is allowed.

4. The trolley can be connected with the counter-arm platform to allow for shift of counter-weights as the trolley shifts.

5. Individual counter-weight shifting mechanisms can also be made.

MATERIALS TO BE USED:

1. Standard pop sickle sticks/ice-cream sticks of maximum 12 cm in length, maximum 1.5 cm in width and maximum 4 mm thick.

2. Adhesives (Synthetic white adhesive or single component cyano-acrylate adhesive) can only be used to build the structure. Adhesives such as M-Seal® are not allowed.

3. Cotton threads of diameter 1 mm. To verify this constraint each team must bring a 1 m long sample of the string used by them. (To verify the diameter of the string, it will be wound about a cylindrical object (like a pen). 10 turns will be wound about a cylindrical object. The length of the string will be measured along the axis of the cylinder. Thus the diameter of the string would be equal to the length of the string along the axis of the cylindrical object divided by number of turns wound about it.

4. Motor, readymade gear assemblies, gears, pulleys, threads (cotton, 1 mm diameter) and rubber bands (1 mm diameter) can be used in the elevating mechanism and trolley only.

BUILDING RULES:

1.      The pop-sickle sticks can be trimmed and used in smaller pieces.

2. Pop-sickle can be stacked to make stronger elements.

3. The structure of the crane must be made entirely with these sticks and adhesives.

4. Elevating mechanism and trolley can be made from the other materials specified.

5. Threads cannot be used to reinforce any joints in the structure.

6. The structure may not be painted, sprayed or dipped in any coating material. All glue should be removed from surfaces that are not bonded together.

7. Each team will be provided 1 m of standard cotton thread on the spot to secure any joints which they feel are critical before the crane is tested.

8. All motors and pulleys must be placed on the structure. Only the power source can be placed on the ground.

3.1 TESTING AND JUDGING

3.1.1 Round 1

1. The weight of the structure consisting of pop-sickle sticks and threads will be considered (excluding the weight of the motor/elevating mechanism).The participant will be given time to integrate the elevating mechanism with the structure on-site.

 2. Participants have to place desired counter-weights on the counter-arm. Thereafter the crane will be required to lift a load of 4kg with the help of elevating mechanism upto a height of 10cm. After the elevating mechanism is actuated, participants are not allowed to alter the position of the counter weight.

 3. Structures will be tested for weight as well as the vertical deflection of the arm at a distance of 20 cm from the centre of the tower while the crane is under the load. This deflection will be measured with the help of a dial-gauge. Once the block is lifted to a height of 10 cm then the stable dial-gauge reading will be considered for the purpose of judging.

3.1.2 Round 2

1. A wall of height of 30 cm will be introduced in this stage.

2. The crane is supposed to lift a block of weight 4 kg to a height of 30 cm or more. Thereafter with help of the trolley mechanism the block is should be taken across the wall and safely placed on the other side.

 3. The trolley mechanism may be driven manually or with the help of an external motor.

4. Testing of the structure will involve the measurement of maximum horizontal deflection of the tower while the trolley mechanism is functioning. The deflection will be measured at a height of 250 mm above the wooden base.

3.1.3 Definition of Failure

A structure is said to have undergone failure if:

1. Structure fails to satisfy the above specified dimensional constraints.

2. Structure is broken at a joint i.e. it cannot take any load at that joint. Any structure undergoing failure will be out-rightly eliminated from the competition.

3.2 Judging Criteria

3.2.1 Scoring and Penalties for Round 1

 A team can earn a maximum of 50 points in this round.

 Scoring based on weight of the structure the participants will be awarded points on basis of the following formula:                    

Score = (Weight of lightest structure in the competition/Weight of your structure)*20

 Scoring based on deflection of the horizontal arm                                                                   

The   participants will be awarded points on basis of the following formula:  Score = (Least deflection of any structure in the competition/Deflection of your structure)*30

3.2.2 Scoring and penalties for Round 2

A team can earn a maximum of 50 points in this round.

1. A team will earn 20 points if it successfully completes the aforementioned task.                      

 2. A penalty of 5 points will be imposed if the block hits the wall while the task is being carried out.

Scoring based on horizontal deflection of the tower                                                                                                                

The participants will be awarded points on basis of the following formula: Score = (Least deflection of any structure in the competition/Deflection of your structure)*30

4.1 GENERAL RULES:
