    CT Institutes' Original 800cc Bike:

     Others envy, owner’s pride

In an addition to set another milestone in the technical education the students and staff of CT Group of Institutions, Jalandhar designed an 800 cc bike with their own imagination and creativity.  This bike is unique in its features because of its design and power. 

Manpuneet Singh, Manpreet Singh, Surinder Singh & Jaspreet Singh from Department of Mechanical Engineering took the initiative of this project under the guidance of Mr. Arvind Birdi (HoD Department of Mechanical Engineering).  The students and staff gave credit of their hard work to the worthy Chairman S. Charanjit Singh Channi and Managing Director Mr. Manbir Singh, who encouraged them by giving financial and psychological support. The CT Group of Institutions always encourages young and bright ideas of the students to implement the knowledge in to reality.

Fabrication and recycling seems to be in trend amongst the CTIEMT students. A group of final year students of B. Tech Mechanical Engineering Batch 2004 modified and fabricated the already self-made 800cc bike, with the help of the faculty and the management. These sports-bike enthusiasts worked day and night on this project taking up a challenge to aim at the best performance bike powered with an 800cc Maruti car engine. The bike runs 25 to 27kms per litre, which definitely speaks loud and clear about the performance.

Speaking at the occasion Chairman S. Charanjit Singh Channi told media persons that "The bike was first made by a diploma student from CT Polytechnic. The bike is powered by a Maruti 800cc car engine and is mostly made from used recycled parts from various other makes of motorbikes. Initially when the bike was made by the diploma student, number of problems surfaced in the running of the bike. The chassis was unstable, the bike overall wasn’t balanced properly. The bike was difficult to steer since the handle wasn’t properly designed. Transmission system needed overhauling. Lot of work had to be done on the engine to bring it back to life. The stability, safety and performance of the bike were the main issues. "

The bike in that condition was handed over to the final year B. Tech Mechanical Engineering students. They took it as a challenge to get it in the best running condition. The chassis was redesigned from scratch. The frame and the chassis was made of GI pipe which was not very stable, but the material used for the new bike was different, to have more strength and durability. The chassis was shortened in length to give it more stability. The initial length of the bike was 2.75m but its 1.94m in length after the completion. To give further stability, the height was also reduced from 630mm to 590mm. Having more stable structure, the vibrations were reduced to a great extent. Even the exhaust used earlier was just a pipe but now a proper exhaust muffler was used. This helped in reducing the noise level and less polluting. The rear tyre and wheel was specifically selected for more stability and traction to the road.

The brakes didn’t work effectively with the older version of the bike, but the new brakes were properly installed and worked better, which gives the bike more safety. The suspension system is also modified in the new bike. Due to bulky structure of the older version, the front suspension, taken from Yamaha, was not able to withstand the load very effectively. The front suspension was changed to that of Enfield Bullet.

In the cooling system, the radiator was taken from Maruti 800cc car, but due to the big size of the radiator, it had to be cut down to accommodate and also to solve its purpose of cooling the engine. The main problems faced during the making of this bike were with the engine and the transmission system. Firstly, the engine was old and it had to be brought back to the working condition. It took long hours for days to overhaul the complete engine and bring it back in shape and which was successfully done. Secondly, since initially the gear box was taken from Yamaha 350cc bike, which we had to use due to the non-availability of any other gear box, the gear box was old and worn out, so the amount of man-hours put into the working of gear box was accountable, the chain sprocket on the rear wheel which drives the bike was redesigned using the help of the faculty, and after all the efforts, it was brought back into life and the whole power unit was put together to make bike run on the road.

Prof. Manhar Arora Director - Corporate Relations and Placements told "Since the inception of engineering college in 2004 the students have developed five different products which includes Bio- Diesel Jeep, Solar Lawn Mower, Solar Electricity Panel, Indigenous car and now 800 cc bike. This shows the quality and commitment of the staff and students for the improvement of engineering education. For future we are working on eco friendly automobile products which will contribute in saving our environment."

 

On the success of the project, the students were congratulated by the Chairman of CT Group of Institutions, S. Charanjit Singh Channi, the Managing Director, Mr. Manbir Singh, the Director, Dr. Paramjit Singh, the Deputy Director, S. Sukhjinder Singh, and the Dean Academics. Mr. Matiana Director Corporate Relations and Placements, Prof. Manhar Arora and the management of CT Group of Institutions.

            Project “BLITZ”   Car Designed out of junk

Blitz:   German word for “lightning”

The project started with a thought and an idea. The idea was to put together a running vehicle from used thrown away parts, or to sum it up, “recycle’. Mr. Varun Saini, a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering student of CT Institute of Engineering, Management & Technology, Jalandhar an automobile enthusiast, started working on this idea and couldn’t stop until he had it running successfully on the road.

The name, “Blitz”, came up as a tribute to the spirit of the team members involved in this project. The whole credit goes to Mr. Varun Saini for this project, with the help and guidance of the faculty as well as the management of CTIEMT.

Blitz is one assembly of parts and jigs put together from different cars. The best part of this is that they all fit together as if they were never apart.

The chassis was designed by Mr. Varun Saini with the help of the faculty. The chassis was designed using the design software Pro-E and the designing was done in-house in the departmental Computer Graphics Lab. The chassis is a solid bar cross section and has a tapered shape, with the front wheel base of 29 inchs and rear wheel base of 39 inchs, to suit the design of the car. The suspension system chosen was modest using leaf springs for both rear and front suspension. The front leaf springs were taken from a three-wheeler and rear leaf springs are from the Omni van. The leaf springs are used as suspension in heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses, but due to a tight budget, the leaf springs were the best option for this project. The chassis and the suspension system are mounted on front and rear rigid axle. The front axle is from Mahindra Jeep and the rear axle was taken from Omni van.

The body used for this car was of Fiat Uno. Now why Fiat Uno? This is because it was not about choices in the first place. The project started with a thought that since the common thought goes that the junkyard is full of useless parts lying waste, this waste can be made of some use or of full use by putting them together and making them work. So the available so-called junk was made to use and put together.

The Fiat Uno’s body was a perfect match to the chassis. The head lights and the taillight were taken from Sonalika’s Rhino. The front bumper is also Rhino’s, but the rear bumper is from Zen.

The engine, of course, was picked up from junkyard. An old, dilapidated Omni van 800cc 3-cylinder engine was the major hurdle in this project. It took quite some time to overhaul the engine and bring it to the running condition. After long hard hours the engine was brought to life and mounted. The gear box of the Omni van had to be modified since the engine in an Omni van is inside the driver’s cabin. But for this setup, the engine was to be placed outside the driver’s cabin. Thus the gear box and transmission had to be modified to suit our design requirements. The 4-speed transmission has different gear shifting positions than what we find in our common cars. Due to these modifications, the length of the propeller shaft had to be increased to 65 inchs, which is longer than the normal length.

Before the body and the frame were mounted, chassis, alongwith the engine and transmission were tested on the road for couple of months. Apart from a few hitches, this rigorous testing proved fruitful.

Steering system, taken from Maruti Gypsy, is the worm and worm wheel type. This type of steering system is quite common in the automobiles on the road.

The usual spacing in the Fiat Uno accommodates only five passengers, including the driver. But Blitz, using the same Fiat Uno’s body accommodates seven people, which shows the maximum utilization of space. The front five seats were taken from Rhino and the rear two seats were self designed.

Fuel tank, 36 litres capacity, was taken from Omni. The exhaust which normally runs to the back of the car, with this design, is placed at the left side below the rear passenger door. The reason being that since the fuel tank was placed at the rear, it was not technically possible to place the exhaust pipe below the fuel tank. The heat at the exhaust could prove fatal if it was to be placed below the fuel tank. Thus the exhaust pipe was placed as far as possible from the fuel tank. Now the cap of the fuel tank was taken from Hindustan Ambassador. Since the body and the fuel tank are both from different makes and designs, it was difficult to find a match for the fuel tank cap that could fit properly to the design of the body and the fuel tank. Eventually, the fuel tank cap of Ambassador solved the purpose.

The wiring used for the electrical circuits were taken from Maruti 800cc car. The speedometer wire used for Blitz was taken from Rhino.

The footrests used for climbing into the car for the passengers at the side of the car were taken from Tata Sumo. Tata Sumo’s ignition switch was also fitted into the Blitz. The accelerator pedal was taken from Fiat Uno and the other pedals, brakes and clutch, were from Omni van. The interior comprising the dashboard and the glove compartment were taken from Fiat Uno.
