Kota: Time and again, Indians have proved they don’t lack in talent in comparison to their global competitors.
Surely, Indians are respected for their tremendous knowledge, talent that is at times refined creating success stories, Hindustan Times reports.
A 16-year-old Pratyush Sudhakar student from Rajasthan’s Kota has developed sunglasses which can prevent mishaps.
According to reports, these sunglasses would not let the driver sleep while driving through sounding alarm and vibration.
Pratyush Sudhakar is a student of Sarvodaya school of Kota. He designed this device that can prevent road accidents which mostly occur due to dizziness.
Speaking to HT, Sudhakar said: “If an exhausted driver wears these glasses while driving then these glasses won’t let him sleep, due to which accidents can be prevented”.
Now explaining the mechanism of the sunglasses, Sudhakar said that “An Infrared (IR) Sensor is attached, to the left part of the glasses, which has two led bulbs connected”.
This IR led bulb emits infra-red radiations and if these radiations strikes a reflecting object, like our eyelids, and get reflected then the photodiode receives these radiations and generate signals which are transmitted to arduino-nano through jumper wires from IR sensor, he adds.
“And then the arduino creates an output which are send to a buzzer and a vibrator due to which they operates and don’t let the driver sleep while he is driving”.
This arduino works according to the instructions we have inserted in it from arduino software Sudhakar said.
According to recent data received from the Central Route Research Centre, Lucknow, nearly 20% road mishaps occur due to driving in sleep or dizziness.
When asked where did he get the idea of developing these sunglasses, to that he replied he had attended a science workshop last year in which he learnt developing one liner robot which gave him the idea to work on the sunglasses project.
“I completed the sunglasses project in last 6 months time”, he said.
Pratyush’s father Ashish Sudhakar is a deputy manager in a private bank and his mother Mamta Saxena is a physics lecturer in a government school.
