Technozion is back with more than a bang. With Technozion X bringing home the X factor, They bring to you the X and more! With this year’s theme centering on technology and evolution, they have brought to the table quite a few changes with more events and guest lectures than ever before. Online events and spotlight events, workshops for those who want to learn, and for those who want to share their knowledge. Three days lined up with Robotics and many more events ready to set Warangal sizzling in the cool autumn.
Special Focus on CIVIL ENGINEERING events:
- CONCRETE CANOE
Science behind the Concrete Canoe:
Principle:
Ignoring hydrodynamic effects, all ships or boats float because the weight of the water they displace is equal to the weight of the boat (Archimedes' principle). However, many boats are made of materials that are denser than water, meaning that the boat will sink if filled with water. Although it is not required by the rules of the competition, some competitive concrete canoes have concrete mix designs that are less dense than water. They must pass a test in which the canoe is filled with water and pushed below the surface; the canoe must then resurface in order to qualify for racing. This is possible because, unlike normal concrete which uses sand and small rocks, concrete canoes are created with porous aggregates such as Macrolite and microspheres. However, because many teams still design their concrete mixes to be denser than water, in the United States, teams are allowed to insert concrete-covered, non-structural foam pieces in their canoes to make the canoes float after being submerged.
- TENSIGRITY
He who is afraid to experiment will never see the path of progress . A bold experiment which has grown into a hotspot for civil engineers and almost anyone who has ever admired the beauty of any structure . This innovative event requires participants to build structures with multiple struts or beams which do not touch each other and are supported just by strings !
