Projects
This project presents the primary understanding of three different energy conversions encompassing the effort to apply my theoretical knowledge of physics to a working science model. The main aim is to scientifically analyse, various phases of physical energy conversions, in detail and exemplify them through our working models. The energy conversions are from chemical to mechanical, mechanical to electrical and solar to electrical energy.
The greatest acknowledgment this project has received is by the Indian ambassador to Qatar (Mr. Sanjiv Arora), when I represented my school as its Science Club Director at the Indian community Fair November 2012 organised by ICC Qatar (5 S project competition- Institution of Engineers India). Our school team clinched the ambassador’s rolling trophy.
When I switch on the electrical appliances at home, I have always been curious about their energy source. Through the school textbooks I have gained knowledge about energy generation through thermal, wind, hydro, nuclear, solar power plants and electricity transmission; however, I have desired to witness this energy transmission in real life and learn about the distribution process and its difficulties in the actual world. This inquisitiveness lead me to visit the GETCO 220kV Nyara substation in Rajkot during my summer vacations in 2013.
I was team leader and programmer for the school team at BOTBALL Regional Tournament 2013.
BOTBALL codes were designed by our team before the BOTBALL Regional
Tournament 2013, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar. I've posted the codes for the DemoBot and the iRobot Create.
The second program in the list duplicates bookstore data management at a small level. To increase the number of books, we could change the array size in line 23. This C++ program has been developed using array of classes and default constructors
Number System Conversion: a C++ program for inter conversion between binary, octal, hexadecimal and decimal number systems.
In the summers of 2013 and 2014, I approached Rotary Club of Rajkot, Gujarat to support my initiative that was aimed at connecting the neighbouring rural populations to rest of the world through internet.
I then searched for villages in Rajkot’s neighbourhood. Finally, villages in Kotda, Sangani, Nyara and Khambada were selected for the awareness program which was to be carried out 12-22 miles from my residence in the city. The project’s objective was to raise awareness about internet and its endless applications that could be useful for the rural population. I wanted the people to be aware about the opportunities they could utilize for financial and social benefits. The transport and presentation arrangements were made once Rotary Club of Rajkot affirmed my initiative to educate over 500 rural children.
