Develop the write–up of their exhibit
(A) New Paddy Thresher
Student : Akoijam Kheroda Devi
School : Anand Purna Schol, Thoubal District, Manipur
Teacher : Robindro Singh

Introduction
In most of the agricultural land area of Manipur, people mainly cultivate paddy.
Agriculture sector contributes a major share to the total state domestic product. It provides
employment to about half of the total farmers in Manipur. During harvest, farmers spend
a lot of money as labour charges to thresh the paddy. In view of this, an eco–friendly
machine (model) called ‘New Paddy Thresher’ is developed. ‘New Paddy Thresher’ is a
manual threshing machine. It can thresh the paddy plants without cutting the straws.
Such an eco–friendly machine will help the poor farmers of the country in general and
farmers of Manipur in particular to improve their economy.

Figure 1: New Paddy Thresher

Material Required
The material used in this exhibit are: U–shape beating rods; Bearing; Crank shaft; Iron chain; Wood;
Bolts and nuts; Paddle; Paddy straw fixer.
Scientific Principle Involved
‘New Paddy Thresher’ is based on the principle of pulley and Lever system.
Figure 2: U–Shape Beating Rods

Construction and Working


Four rows of U–shape beating rods are fixed on a cylinder. The two end of the beating
cylinder are fixed by two bearing so as to rotate freely. A pulley is fixed on one end of the
beating cylinder and joins the crank shaft with the iron chain. In one complete rotation
of the crank, the beating cylinder rotates twice. An armful of paddy straw can be beaten
eight times in one complete crank rotation. Three crank rotation is enough for threshing
one armful of paddy.

Figure 3: Crank Shaft with the Iron Chain


Advantages
(i) It is low cost and portable.
(ii) It is an eco–friendly machine.
(iii) A farmer can save labour and money by using this thresher.

(B) Vehicular Exhaust Filter
Student : Vaibhav Dhama, Saransh Mathur
School : Demonstration School, RIE, Ajmer, Rajasthan
Teacher : Amarendra Triphathy

Introduction
We know that many vehicles are increasing air pollution which increases global warming
or the temperature of the earth. Many steps have been taken to reduce the emission
level of gases coming out from the vehicle exhaust. We can see in heavy traffic areas
the level of air pollution is very high. We feel uncomfortable and even feel itching in our
eyes in such areas. Increasing air pollution is a danger sign for all living organisms on
earth. Exhaust gases coming out from all types of automobiles contains mainly carbon
mono–oxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxide and other
harmful gases. These gases are very harmful for our environment and ecological system.
This project is an attempt to solve the problem of high pollution level in cities due to
automobiles in heavy traffic areas. This project helps us to reduce the air pollution caused
by the vehicles.
Scientific Principle Involved
In the cooling chamber two aluminium plates which have charge on them attract dust
particles. The exhaust gases pushed by the exhaust fan on the nets made of synthetic
fibers and solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is sprayed by the sprayer. NaOH reacts
with the harmful exhaust gases and neutralizes them. This way, the level of polluted air
is very low.
Materials Required
Bottles of two litre capacity, T–shape water pipe joint, two exhaust fans, aluminium foil,
NaOH solution, sprayer, battery, etc.
Construction And Working
In this project the exhaust gases are collected in the cooling chamber (the shape of the cooling
chamber is like a frustum) where due to the expansion of gases their temperature becomes
low. In the cooling chamber there are two aluminium plates which create charge on them
and attract the acidic/basic dust or harmful particles and then an exhaust fan sucks the
gases and pushes the gases in NaOH treatment chamber. We can identify it in given figure
1 where the NaOH reacts with harmful gases and make them neutral. There is a machine
called sprayer placed after the exhaust fan
which sprays NaOH on the nets of synthetic Gas Neutralizer
fibers after every 2 km distance period when
the vehicle is running.
In the vertical chamber the remaining
dust particles are separated by exhaust fan
which pushes the gases on a filter so the
heavy solid harmful particles settle down.
Then the remaining gases are again treated Sprayer Exhaust Metal Plates
with NaOH. We can identify it in figure 2. Fan
Finally, cool and fresh air with very low air Figure 4
pollution comes out and spread out in the
environment.

Heavy Dust Particles


Figure 2
Removal of Harmful Particles/Chemicals
Take out the nets of synthetic fibers and wash them in NaOH solution to remove solid
sediments and harmful chemicals periodically.
Result
It ensures lowering of the pollution level in air due to automobiles. So we can save our
earth from pollution.
