Development of an Electric Wheelchair for the Smooth Functioning of Physically Disabled Persons
Abstract: Wheelchairs can be moved manually, with the assistance of a partner, a joystick, or both. For patients with impairments, other pushing or controlling methods aside of a wheelchair are required. People use wheelchairs as they are unable to walk because of an illness, an accident, or a handicap. 15% of people globally have a disability, according to the WHO International Report on Disability. 131.8 million people, or 1.85% of the …

Design and Development of Multifunctional Stretcher
Abstract: Hospital stretchers and wheelchairs are integrated in this piece. Instead of using the chair and stretcher individually, the suggested stretcher can be utilized for multiple purposes. Patients' mobility issues can be greatly reduced by this arrangement. There is a challenge in the ICU moving seriously damaged or fractured patients from stretcher to wheelchair. This product is capable of addressing such situations. One more advantage of the proposed design to conduct …

High Efficiency Linear Motion Using Sequential Coil Electromagnetic Propulsion Train
Abstract: The Electromagnetic Propulsion Train project efforts on developing a model that proves linear motion using exactly controlled electromagnetic forces. Dissimilar conventional railway systems that depend on mechanical drives, traction motors, and wheel–rail friction, this model uses a coordinated arrangement of electromagnets positioned along the track to generate attractive and repulsive forces, which together produce the essential propulsion. This method reduces dependence on mechanical movement and highlights the possible of magnetic …

Electro Magnetic Force based Train
Abstract: The swift advancement in transportation technology encouraged scientists to seek out faster and eco-friendly propulsion techniques. The majority of transportation systems depend on mechanical engines and wheel-axle setups that generate friction, noise and energy dissipation. Because of these drawbacks there is potential for propulsion approaches. A contemporary technique is propulsion, which utilizes electromagnetic forces rather, than traditional mechanical movement. This research paper addresses the design and operation of a train …

Electromagnetic Propulsion Train for Future Transportation
Abstract: The Electromagnetic Propulsion Train project focuses on the development and analysis of a prototype system that achieves linear motion through the application of controlled electromagnetic forces. Unlike conventional railway systems that rely primarily on mechanical drive mechanisms such as wheels, axles, and traction motors, this project explores an alternative propulsion approach based on electromagnetic interaction. In this system, a sequence of electromagnets is strategically positioned along the track to generate …
