Hairless Shaving Blade
Sudam Khade,
drsudamkhade@gmail.com
There is problem of hair sticking especially in the twin blades while shaving. The handle can be made hollow and anyway we do water through. The water in the hollow handle can be diverted to remove hair from blade.
Natural Insulation System
Virendra Singh,
virendrasingh@lbsnaa.ernet.in
In Rajasthan especially in the western part it gets very hot during the summer and the buildings designed today are less in height and follow a single wall system which is thin. This heats the rooms further. If the walls are designed in such a way that the outer thin wall and the inner thin wall has an air gap (kind of insulation), the rooms will heat to a lesser extent and also if the height is increased from usual 10 feet to about 14 feet, the lower part of room will remain cool. It will imporve the condition to a great extent without an air conditioner. (This is how ancient structures used to be built. In Agra fort and many other such places such double walled structures have been used: Ed)

Suppose a person’s finger has been damaged by accident or paralysed and he/she cannot hold the pen but movements are still there, then also she/he can write. For it we can make a pen having rings on both side to put fingers into for writing.
Glasses in Classes

Wi-fi enabled spectacles which have a LCD screen, can project power point presentation on one lens, to avoid lack of projection screens and also allow weak eye sight person, to give instantaneous presentation.
Glasses With Wake-up Alarm

To pull the students out of sleep before or during the classes, he has an idea of sunglass with photoelectrical cell, light source and an earpiece which can make a loud beep. On the glass in one side there will be a light emitting source and in the opposite side a photoelectric cell as a receiver. In a normal condition, the light ray (faint) will pass in the line of normal position of eyelid, will be obstructed by eyelid and hence will not reach the cell. In sleeping condition the eyelid will remain in down position for a long time and hence the cell will receive light, send an electric signal to the ear pit and make loud sound to make the person awake. The setting of the photocell will be such that due to winking of eye it will not get activated i.e. it will
need constant exposure of say at least five seconds to get activated. |
