USE-LESS to USE-FULL

JUNK REMOVAL

Generally people of many countries produce a lot of waste, many think that waste is waste. There is a saying that “one person’s waste is another person’s treasure”. Yes this is true because the products which we throw outside referring them as waste are in fact not waste but are treasure which no person is able to identify. Some people understood the value of the treasure they are dumping out every day but they don’t find enough means so that they could convert the so called waste into treasure.

Generally, there are different kinds of waste produced construction waste, common household waste and e-waste. The construction waste is produced when an old building is demolished for producing a new one or any re-construction work happening which involves breaking of the constructed walls or pillars. The common household waste contains vegetable peels, paper, glass, plastic bottles, aluminum cans etc. These wastes can be easily segregated and are sent to various disposal plants. The e-waste is the most dangerous and is increasing drastically. Electronic-waste is very dangerous because many chemicals are used in the manufacturing of electronic components and if the waste is not handled properly then it causes a lot of damage .It is very good to dispose off the electronic waste properly. There were some cases regarding the improper disposal of the electronic waste and it caused pollution of ground water. When the electronic-waste is disposed off on the roads or near vacant lands and when the rain falls the water comes into contact with this waste and some harmful chemicals present will dissolve in water and this polluted water percolates into the ground water table and pollutes the ground water.

So, to solve this problem of waste disposal and to encourage more people to learn about the ways to earn income through waste and to solve the smell of the stinking vegetables or the garbage lying in our backyard or on the road and creating foul smell.

JUNK REMOVAL vans solve this problem many people are also showing interest to dispose their waste properly so that they could contribute their part on conserving the ecosystem. These vans just come to your house or your colony and collect the garbage and charge you an affordable fee and solve your problem. The waste collected by them is segregated and disposed off separately according to their category by using many eco-friendly waste disposal techniques.

TO CONTACT A NEARBY JUNK REMOVAL VAN

·       Contact your neighbors for any nearby junk removal shops which provide mobile junk removal facility.

·       If u fail to find out any such shops just Google your requirement and check which company serves your area.

·       Opt for the experienced and cheap dealer and try to bargain about the cost.

·       If you have a lot of bio-degradable wastes then try making your own small scale biogas plant and you could save money by using this gas for cooking purpose but some care has to be taken.

Waste Recyclers in india

Here is a list of some of the waste recyclers' in india

Using NODEMCU Development Kit

The NodeMCU Development Board

What is NODEMCU Development board?

This is similar to using an arduino uno where we have the microcontroller is installed with arduino boot loader and we program the microcontroller with C language using the arduino IDE.

        NODE MCU FIRMWARE                             LUA language                             ESPlorer

 
ARDUINO FIMWARE                                   C Language                                ARDUINO IDE

What does the NODEMCU Development Kit Contain?

The esp8266 NODEMCU development kit comes with a  single NODEMCU(Node Microcontroller) chip.The NODEMCU firmware is installed in the chip and this chip can be programmed using LUA language.

What is NODEMCU?

The NODEMCU is a firmware that controlls the hardware or the pins on the esp8266 using LUA code.A firmware is a piece of software that is written to controll a hardware.

Connecting it to pc?

Download the drivers for the link mentioned to get connected to the pc (https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx). After downloading the files install the driver software(CP210xVCPInstaller) to automatically download and install the drivers. .The driver does also the task of converting the USB to Serail conversion.

What is IOT

IOT

It basically means internet of things.

Whats does it do?

It means that the devices that we use would communicate with one another and exchange data with one another so that the overall efficiency of the device is increased.

Is it really new?

No,According to me everything that happens in the world is not a new thing,they are often discovered or its just an extension of the old or existing thing.

What is the difference between smart devices and smart connected devices?

We already have many so called smart devices which could carry out a particular task in a specific pattern which is independent of the other machines performance or working.But for doing small tasks this doesn't make much difference but when we increase the scale then that would create an effect on the productivity of the total system.So to solve this people have decided to interconnect all these machines with one another and transfer data seamlessly so that they all could add up to the efficient working of the system.

What are the other technologies associated with it?

IOT(Internet Of Things) is not a smaller area it includes many of other technologies to improve the integration of the information and getting fruitful results.The Big Data come into picture because it has to handle a large amount of data and then The Machine Learning also because to come to conclusion about the pattern of the error and required changes to be made to it.  

What are its applications?

People are coming up with a lot of different ideas to integrate then to IOT. It has applications in

Automobile sector

Production plant

Health care  and many more.......

What Does it take to make a IOT device?

To make an IOT device all we need is some electronics and an internet connection to connect them to the internet to transmit data and a receiver to receive the data.The commonly used components are:

1. Arduino Uno Board

2. Esp8226.

3. Knowledge about Arduino and Android coding.

( Note:This information is based on my micro knowledge about IOT. Please do correct me if i am wrong and i would be very grateful to you. )

      

INS VIKRANT R11

some interesting facts about 

INS VIKRANT

3D Printing

What is 3D printing?

3D printing or Three Dimensional Printing is a type of printing in which solid 3D objects are made from plastic or any other type of filler material.

Why is it useful?

It is very useful because it helps us to produce very little or no waste as it a additive manufacturing process.

What is the main idea behind it?

Generally we know about 2D printer(our common household printer) which prints letters on a paper and so people thought that if they could create a wasy to increase the thickness of the printing material then they could create and object in 3D and hence the idea of 3D printer was born.

Whats the cost of making it?

Many companies have come up with their own unique designsso there are a wide varities of printers ranging from 99 USD to 5k USD.

What would be the future Scope?

Many people have found ways in which the 3D printer would generally be a game changer.Till now the best things i heard are that scientists are trying to make a 3D printer that would print our food and some people are working on creating artificial organs using the 3D printing technology.
