Novel sanwich material for noise cancellation

Test enclosure made of novel sandwich material

Noises from home appliance like mixer grinder are highly disturbing for small duration of time. The research presents development of an acoustical enclosure for a mixer grinder to reduce the noise emission. Noise from mixer grinder is mainly high frequency noises, which are strongly directional and more easily reflected. The enclosure uses polyurethane foam as noise absorbent material and the hard shell of acrylic outside reflects the noise. This in effect reduced the noise level by about 12.5 dB, which is significant and residual noise is minimal. The product developed has a door for accessing the mixer grinder and it seals the enclosed tight while in operation suing a magnetic gripper. This enclosures acoustical packing can be used for noise reduction of other noisy equipments as well.

Garlic peeler

Garlic peeling is very tedious and time consuming job. Manual garlic peeling leaves smell on hand and after washing it doesn’t go easily. In typical usage scenario people follow two methods-


1. Using fingers –in these method people uses their fingers to remove the skin of garlic clove .process is initiated by loosening the garlic skin through Rubbing between hands. Fig 1 shows process of peeling followed.
2. Rubbing between pieces of tube - in these method people uses flexible rubber tube in which garlic clove is placed and by providing reciprocating motion above tube extract the garlic skin. Fig 2 shows how rubber tube used for skin removal.

The garlic peeler is attachment of normal mixer and grinder and it peels garlic clove without damaging it.
after peeling just pour water inside jar and all skin of garlic will floatout.
product  has patent pending status and completely ready for commercialisation stage.
and we are looking for licensing this product to manufacturer.

RECYCLING HOUSEHOLD WASTE AS --LAMINATE PAPER

                                      children playstation made of newpaper
Daily newspaper comes to every household and just after one use it becomes waste.
As per recent data only 70% newspaper reach to recycling station  rest of that ends up
as waste and landfill.
Paper by its nature is  versatile product that is subject to a variety of performance demands. Dimensional Stability most of the fiber in paper sheet are aligned in the machine run direction
it has good thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

Size of news paper 76cm*56cm.
Density 0.61-0.69 g/cc (source:www.paperonweb.com )
Tensile strength ( along the grain and across the grain)

Different process hasbeen tried on newspaper to enhancing the properties of newspaper
which resulted in various kind great result

laminates and roll of newspaper after processing

Various method for enhancing properties of newspaper laminate

Different types of resin is that can be used for binding of papers.
Different pattern of gluing.
Orientation of paper .
Riveting.
Making sandwich structure.
Using polythene,polyester cloth as strengthening agents.

Design exploration leads towards ideal solution

Typical design scenario there is kind of product specification which need to be addressed in form of various concepts. Each concept is evaluated in terms of various design criteria which satisfy initial product specification set. Often during NPD process people tend to forget there initial product specification and carried away by concept flow.Thus need of concrete problem statement arises, stating problem correctly is 50% job done.
while design exploration you need to play around your requirement and based on criteria you choose your solution. this are some of example sheet of design exploration of consumer electronics.
