Kitchen King
This is a tested gadget with 12 boxes in it and a display screen from which one can select options to cook different items. Then, the screen displays the required quantity of each ingredient. Once the items are fed into the machine, it cooks the dishes.

Pressure Detector for Water Pipelines
In a lot of places in India, there is water supply for one or two hours only in a day. People have to keep turning taps on every few minutes to check the water supply. Hence, a pressure detector fitted in the pipeline rings an alarm bell immediately on sensing the flow of water; thus alerting people.

Flameless Seal Maker
The traditional way of sealing covers or boxes using lac heated at a very high temperature is a hazardous job and has been used in India since the Mughal Era. The flameless seal maker eliminates the use of fire to melt lac and also ensures perfect shape (uniform seal imprint). Just fill the device with lac, plug it into power supply and one can then control the flow of the lac with a piston. There is little chance of getting burns too.

Super Brain Modulator
This system consists of a circuit which uses the energy generated through breathing exercise. It may display several options such as food, It thus enables paralyzed people articulate their wish and be self-reliant in routine activities. The technology has a range of applications like operating a wheelchair, electronic appliances, prevention of accidents, detecting thefts, etc.

Simplified Rain Water Harvesting
Water shortage is felt in most cities now a days. The drive ways of individual houses and complexes can be pebbled instead of having a cemented surface so that water can percolate through these. Such water could be channelized instead of allowing it to flow down into sewage and get wasted.
Sharang Majmundar, Class XI, La Martiniere for Boys, Kolkata, W.Bengal
Fire Hose Supporter
The jet of water that shoots out of a hose is very strong and the reaction force on the fire-fighter is difficult for him to handle. Hence a foldable stand could be developed which is connected to the fire-hose by a spring mechanism. The angle of the hose is also flexible. This enables less strain and ensures a steady spraying of water jet at desired targets.

Lavatories with Auto Washing Pipe
A toilet fitting connected to the door by a spring mechanism, splashes water on the floor and the urinal when a person opens the door. This way, toilets in railway bogies can be kept clean with minimal water wastage.

Solar Projector for Schools in Rural Areas
A solar slide projector can be a useful as an instructional device for schools. This device can be fabricated even in remote areas to cater to the educational needs of rural children.

Preventing Clothes from Being Wet in Rain
When it rains, a motor may get triggered by salt that absorbs atmospheric moisture. It would pull the rope inside on which clothes are hung. This may save housewives from an additional chore!
Piyush Agarwal, Class XI, DAV Public School,Hazaribag, Jharkhand
Safe locker and Safe Almirah
A light triggered safety alarm can be developed. It rings as soon as the thief switches on a torch after entering a house in the night warning the inmates about intrusion.
Srimanta Sundar Padhi, Class IX, Sarat Ku. Deb High School, Kendrapara, Orissa
Infrared Safety System through Mobile Phone
Pyro Electric Infrared Sensor which is connected to a mobile phone via infrared rays can be installed in a home. In case of a theft, a siren rings and in turn, the alarm in the mobile phone also rings. A video sensor displays the movement of the thief.
Arun Muralidharan, Class X, Punaloor Government Higher Secondary School, Quilioin, Kerala
Helmet as a Communication Device
A walky-talky speaker can be installed inside a helmet. The antenna can be affixed on its surface. During an emergency, how easy it would be for policemen to connect with their head quarters even while riding the two wheeler?
Ankush Kumar, Class XII, Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Dhanbad, Jharkhand
Skidometer to Prevent Accidents
We see a lot of accidents happening due to skidding of vehicles at curves and turns on roads. The students have suggested development of a skidometer that indicates the level of speed to the driver so that he can prevent skidding at a curve/turn.

Cut Hair for Water Purification
Instead of disposing cut hair at saloons, filters can be made out of them. These can be affixed in outlets through which water from factories passes to absorb oil and such other impurities. Filtered water can be used for gardening.

An Alarm for Unmanned Rail Tracks
Many lives can be saved if an alarm system with speakers can alert people, who are one or two kms away from a train on an unmanned railway
track. The idea is to implement an alarm system for advance warning to the people intending to cross the unmanned crossing.
M. Arvind, Chennai, Tamil Nadu
An Electric Buzzer to Manage Traffic Signals
Very often we see people crossing the safety line on traffic signals in haste, ignoring the red light and meeting with serious accidents. To prevent this, an electric wire connected to the traffic light sets off an alarm whenever a vehicle jumps the red light.

Smart Homes
In future houses, all appliances may be programmed and interconnected so that they can respond to users' requirements. When the user selects an option for hot water, she can get it. The comfort level of beds or sofas can be digitally adjusted. Smart homes could have digital controls for most of the gadgets.

Sensor for Petrol Leakage
A sensor can be installed in the petrol tank of vehicles which can detect leakage of petrol and set an alarm.A lot of wastage due to leakage can thus be curbed.
Nitesh Chaudhary, Class X, Saraswati Vidhya Mandir, Dhanbad, Jharkhand
Energy Saving Indicator in Vehicles
An electronic solar micro gadget powered by solar light or otherwise may beep whenever the head light is on during day time. This can save a lot of energy.

Tamarind to Treat Hard Water
We can use tamarind as a filter layer. This filter layer will convert hard water into soft because of the oxalic acid in tamarind. The tamarind layer needs to be changed every 15 days. It could be an economical method.

A Cell Phone which can Sense Overcharging
Normally, we forget to switch off the charger of a cell phone even after the battery is fully charged. This reduces the life of the battery. A cell phone can be devised which disconnnects the circuit automatically after it gets adequately charged.

Compact Stair Case
Instead of cemented stairs, there could be hollow wooden stairs where possible. In these hollow spaces, one can design drawers with the latest channels and locks so that they do not open when one climbs the stairs. This can help us to utilize the space optimally in a house.
Heydev Sood, Class VII, Rukmani Birla Modern School, Jaipur, Rajasthan
Television Light Obstructing Screen
In our homes, when someone is watching television and others want to sleep in the same room, the light emitted by the television disturbs them. Such screens can be designed which can prevent the diffusion of light rays in the entire room and keep them restricted to one direction.

Body Heat and Pulse to Charge Cell Phone
A gadget can be developed to utilize the body heat or the stimulus of pulse to charge a cell phone.
