India has the best tyres

While this is much of an exciting time, as it feels great to be honored while bagging the award NASA for the best Tyre technology, celebrated by the Indian teams there. While you are on a motor sport, action packed and thrilling competition, tyre bursts, punctures, blowouts etc. are evident portions related to the same, isn’t it? While our Indian teams had a comparatively easier times with the tyres this time, yeah actually and they have received an award as well, that complements the tyre technology used by them. There have been countless incidents where tyre troubles have led to life loss and fatal incidents, while the vehicle runs on a relatively higher speed. However, a group of Indian scientists might just be able to solve the problem in a cost-effective manner.

TycheeJuno, a team from Odisha, has initiated a respite in the form of BPPC that just bagged an award from NASA for developing a revolutionary design at the Future Design Contest 2015 that was held in New York. TycheeJuno's BPPC technology offers an ability to bring down the potential of tyre bursts and also supports in preventing punctures. Additionally, it also helps a punctured tyre to function fine just like any other normal one on the road. Interestingly, with this the technology enhances the dynamic wheel balance and elevates the fuel potential in turn making the tyre last longer. The dynamic team has designed a multi-chambered tube along with a multi-chambered tubeless tyre that is full of a liquid coat of sealants, rubber element, etc. that would stop the air to be leaked if in case there is a puncture.

Prior to this there have been many technologies to ease out the effect of a puncture, however this team has come up as a latest technology that limits the impacts of punctures. Though, there was no resolution to reduce the probability of a rupture that is basically due to tyre over-heating. The TycheeJuno team leader, Mr. Sameer Panda, is pursuing his PhD from VSS University of Technology (VSSUT) in Odisha's Sambalpur district, has worked his brains out in introducing this revolutionary concept. The contest saw numerous of young scientists that hurled from more than 60 countries who participated in full zeal, offering their findings and experiments that could actually give the world a make-over. The contest was organized by the NASA Tech Brief - an occasion that was co-jointly arranged by NASA and Society of Automobile Engineers, International. Whereas 8 teams bagged awards, 32 inventions got fame and recognition in NASA's official publication in the special for the month of November. Before I forget to mention, how great this acclaimed invention could be , as considering the numbers in our country, 3,371 people lost their lives and 9,081 injuries were recorded in 2014 alone due to tyre-related incidents. Here's hoping this innovation can decrease those numbers drastically
