In the contest conducted by the NASA Tech Brief and participated by thousands of young scientists from 60 countries, this team along with 7 other teams received the awards in New York.

 

The project not only reduces the possibilities of tyre bursts due to overheating but also takes care of punctures, dynamic wheel balancing, increasing fuel efficiency and life.

Sameer Panda, who is doing his Ph.D from VSS University of Technology in Odisha’s Sambalpur district said this:

‘It has clocked more than 40,000 hours in last more than a decade in inventing the technology that can be manufactured in existing manufacturing set up and can also be retrofitted in any tubeless, self-supported or auxiliary supported tyre. Improved fuel efficiency will result in reduction of 200 million gallons of gasoline consumption which means 1.634 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) and 500 tons of cancer causing carcinogenic lead (RoHS material) can be avoided.’

Udit Bondia, KN Panda and Smitiparna Satpathy helped Sameer in this project.

 

We, Indians are geniuses and there is no arguing that.
