Because of the efficiency and fast services, this project is equally aimed at creating a computer based lottery which allows entire to be sold over the phone,… Continue Reading
This project seek to modify the existing cassava grating machine to make it to be self-feeding in operation, to make the operation of the machine easier, safer The existing processing techniques used in the production of cassava starch and cassava dough leaves much to be desired. There are difficulties in the grating of the cassava dough, since… Continue Reading
A lawnmower is a machine that uses a revolving blade or blades to cut a lawn grass. Many designs have been made, each suited to a particular purpose. Manual grass cutter has environmental issues regarding pollution's and also require the need of man power to operate and has a great maintenance to its engine. This robot is design to be environment… Continue Reading
Due to the need for recycling Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) materials, especially bottles because of its various uses and applications, it was necessary that a locally made machine for crushing and shredding the PET materials was fabricated. The crushing process is necessary so as to aid the transportation and workability of the… Continue Reading
This project work deals with the design and fabrication of a suitable journal bearing test apparatus which can help in visualizing the behavior of journal bearing and its characteristics, and in determining the bearing parameters such as load bearing capacity, maximum oil film temperature, viscosity of lubricant, oil film pressure, and… Continue Reading
The focus of this project was the development of an ICU/Rehabilitation adjustable bed for the hospital and home environment. The project was initiated with the desire to develop an innovative, effective and inexpensive mechanism that would require an electrical supply. The design was performed systematically using various methods, procedures,… Continue Reading
This project covers the design and construction of a power generating windmill. The designs was carried out based on long-term available wind data of bida at 10m above the ground level. The average wind speed for Bida is 5.24m/s and rated turbine wind speed is 6.29m/s. The design of each components of the system were carefully constructed in a… Continue Reading
