SMVITM Mechanical Engineering Students Won KSCST Best Projects of The Year Award

Final year Mechanical Engineering students at Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management (SMVITM), Bantakal have developed Novel Atmospheric Water Generator. The project work was carried out by Nishanth Prabhu K, Nagaraj and Vishal V Shetty under the guidance of Dr. Raja Yateesh Yadav, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Considering the increase in the scarcity of potable water on the earth surface, the students of SMVITM have developed a new design of Atmospheric Water Generator.  The aim of this work is to extract pure drinking water from atmospheric air. This model uses the principle of Peltier effect for extracting water from the atmospheric air by using easily available components of an old Air-Conditioner. Also this machine is fabricated at a very affordable cost. This project work is sponsored by Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST), Bengaluru. Also glad to note that the above project has received funding from Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST), Bengaluru in the state level 44^th series of student project program and have received the “Best Projects of The Year Award” held for the academic year 2020-21. The management, Principal Dr. Thirumaleshwara Bhat, HOD of Mechanical Engineering Dr. Gajanan Anne have appreciated and congratulated the team.
