In a deserving achievement, five final year students of Don Bosco College of Engineering have built a rolling bridge which is considered as the succeeding big step in mobile bridge designs. At present, the only such bridge in the world is operational in London. It was outlined by the award-winning Heatherwick Studio, running with structural engineers SKM Anthony Hunts and fixed in August 2004. <\/p>
At first glimpse, the rolling bridge mounted by the Don Bosco students seems to be a harmless steel structure. But as its name implies, it can slowly roll up till its ends meet to allow passage from below. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1470294106996","data":"57a2e86f467e7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1470291466442","data":"
The four-metre-long and 0.6-metre-wide prototype holds eight triangular divisions that fold towards each other to produce an octagonal structure. <\/p>
A full-fledged model can be as long as 12m . Under the supervision of assistant professor Chetan Gaonkar, Froylan Gracias, Mikhail Estibeiro, Alvan Fernendes, Samson Reberio and Kevin Thomas, brainstormed and labored for a year to design the short-range pedestrian bridge. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1470292022058","data":"v4bSweawp3s"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1470291494786","data":"
Whilst the one in London employs electricity and hydraulics to function, the native prototype has gone a step ahead. <\/p>
The engineering students have devised an eco-friendly way to generate power to operate the bridge that works on pneumatic cylinders. <\/p>
Describing the uniqueness of their prototype, Gracias says, \"The main difference is the medium used to transmit power. The bridge in London uses hydraulics or liquid oil to transmit power, whereas our bridge uses compressed air taken from its surrounding. The pneumatic cylinders are used to generate power from compressed air. This makes it is more eco-friendly, plus it does not make much sound and does not require a large amount of space for liquid storage.\"<\/i> <\/p>
Such bridges can be used to connect ships to ports, produce pathways to canals creeks, and canyons, and even ring buildings in mid-air. <\/p>
The unique mechanism of the bridge can be a major tourist attraction as well. In fact, the workings of the rolling bridge in London are put on display twice a week in the afternoon to delight tourists and commuters. \"We have also patented the idea and are planning to send it to various bridge design competitions across the country,<\/i>\" says an excited Gracias<\/p>"}]
Pratham, a microsatellite formed by IIT Bombay will be launched by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota in September. <\/p>
A subsequent wait after nine years, the satellite will finally be launched with ISRO\u2019s main satellite ScatSat and few other satellites on board a four-stage Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1470306689394","data":"57a3198aee863"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1470305822056","data":"
The brainchild of two IIT-B students, Pratham weighs 10 kg and it will be located at an altitude of 720 km. <\/p>
With mission duration of four months, the main function of the satellite will be to measure the electron count of the ionosphere, which can be utilised for tsunami alerts and also improves the accuracy of Global Positioning System in India. <\/p>
Many communication flaws can be fixed with the help of including electrons. The total value of the project is about Rs. 1.5 crore. <\/p>
The IIT-B student satellite programme was inaugurated in 2007 after a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the institute and ISRO. The satellite missed the launch in 2012 because of several reasons like lack of workers, technical faults, administrative delays, etc. Currently, <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1470306694723","data":"57a3198f89f84"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1470306244083","data":"
Pratham is in the clean room of ISRO Satellite Centre in Bengaluru and the correct launch date is yet to be finalised. <\/p>
Pratham project manager Ratnesh Mishra, a final year IIT-B aerospace student reported The Times of India that one ground station for watching the satellite will be set up at IIT and another at Atharva College in Malad. <\/p>
An eight-member team from IIT will be located at Sriharikota for pre-launch activities.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1470306735112","data":"
