| Amphibious Bicycle |
| Technology Category: Transport |
A unique attachment retrofitted to a conventional bi-cycle to make it amphibious. It is an ergonomically designed, low cost, manually operated transport vehicle with capacity to transport one person (rider). The bicycle has capabilities of having front and backward movement in water.The project has been supported under MVIF and has also been featured in leading National as well as International Channels like Discovery, BBC etc. |

| Modified Silencer and Air Intake System |
| Technology Category: Transport |
The present modification in silencer increases the mileage of the vehicle (specially two wheeler with four strokes). Increment of the mileage happens due to proper combustion of the fuel. The main concept of this innovation is preheating of intake air so that complete combustion happens in engine. And the silencer is arranged with two aluminum head and a special noise reducer chamber which reduce the engine noise. It has validated at BIT, MESRA, Ranchi. It increases the mileage up to 27 percent. |

| Modified transmission system for rickshaw |
| Technology Category: Transport |
It is a modified transmission system for rickshaws/bicycles to reduce effort in pulling the load. When one pedals in clockwise direction the rickshaw/bicycle runs like an ordinary rickshaw/bicycle, and when pedaling is done in reverse direction the modified transmission system comes into effect by reducing the effort. If one wants to enjoy freewheel action during reverse pedaling, like ordinary bicycle/rickshaw, one needs to disengage gear by pulling the clutch wire. Effectively it also acts as brakes during reverse pedaling by restricting rearward movement of rickshaw over slopes. An Indian patent (1714/KOL/2007) has been filed for the Innovation. |
The technology has been tested by BIT, Mesra. |
| Reversible Reduction Gearbox for Inboard Marine Diesel Engine and Z - Drive Propeller System |
| Technology Category: Transport |
The Innovator came up with Reversible Reduction Gearbox for Inboard Marine Diesel Engine as he observed the inconvenience of the local fisherman while fishing with existing marine appliances. In the earlier diesel engines there is a lack of powered gear system for maneuverability. To overcome the above major problems the innovator developed a suitable gearbox for inboard engine for better maneuverability and to minimize the fuel cost.The innovator has also incorporated a Z drive propeller system into the assembly for ease of boats landing & cleaning. An Indian Patent (A.N. 3093/CHE/2007) has been filed for the innovation. The technology has been licensed to 'MATSYAFED' for commercialization. |
| The Reverse gears helps in parking the boat even in the presence of bigger waves |
| Tilting Bullock Cart "Aruni" |
| Technology Category: Transport |
In the traditional bullock cart, with two wheels, part of the load is borne by the draft animals on their shoulders and neck and the harnessing system at present makes it difficult to negotiate sharp bends or turns in the road. This causes gall on the neck of the bullocks, which affects not only the efficiency of the animals but also their stamina. This cart is thus designed to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional carts by having an additional wheel to balance the load. In addition the cart has a tilting mechanism which is based on the rope and pulley system which can be controlled by a lever located alongside the cart driver. The innovation was supported by TEPP through GIAN-WEST. An Indian Patent no. (194420) has been granted to this innovation. |
