Competitions for mechanical engineers

There are various competitions in which you can participate during your graduation. SAE (society of automative engineers) organize three major events every year : 1. BAJA SAE- design and build an all terrain vehicle 2. SUPRA SAE- design and build a formula type race car 3. EffiCycle- design and build a hybrid cycle ASME ( american society of mechanical engineers) organize human powered vehicle challenge HPVC. ISNE - It organizes go karting championship. If you have interest in automobiles then these competitions will definitely helps you to improve your skills.I was participated in SUPRA SAE (2016).It was a cool experience for me and helps me to improve my basic knowledge.

Turbines

You all know about turbines, here is a brief view of turbines. What actually turbine is : A turbine is a turbo machine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor. A windmill is the simplest kind of turbine: a machine designed to capture some of the energy from a moving fluid (a liquid or a gas) so it can be put to use. As the wind blows past a windmill's sails, they rotate, removing some of the wind's kinetic energy (energy of movement) and converting it into mechanical energy that turns heavy, rotating stones inside the mill. The faster the wind blows, the more energy it contains; the faster the sails spin, the more energy is supplied to the mill. Adding more sails to the windmill or changing their design so they catch the wind better can also help to capture more of the wind's energy....

Bevel protractor

What is bevel protractor ? A bevel protractor is a graduated circular protractor with one pivoted arm used for measuring or marking off angles. Sometimes Vernier scales are attached to give more precise readings. It has wide application in architectural and mechanical drawing, although its use is decreasing with the availability of modern drawing software or CAD. Universal bevel protractors are also used by toolmakers, as they measure angles by mechanical contact they are classed as mechanical protractors. The bevel protractor is used to establish and test angles to very close tolerances. It reads to 5 minutes or 1/12° and can measure any angle from 0° to 360°. The bevel protractor consists of a beam, a graduated dial and a blade which is connected to a swivel plate (with Vernier scale) by thumb nut and clamp. When the edges of the beam and blade are parallel, a small mark on the swivel plate coincides with the zero line on the graduated dial. To m...
