In the field of mechanical engineering, we have a vast range of topics to select from. At present, companies and governments are dealing with two issues. First, is about global warming and the other is about competition.
For both these issues, mechanical engineers can contribute a lot. For example, to improve the competitiveness of the organization, you can build automation tools or robots which can help the company to improve its efficiency and similarly for global warming, you can bring some news ideas to either save energy or generate it without doing harm to nature.
The biggest positive about these is that solutions to both these issues are going to come from mechanical. This is the reason, I always recommend students to select topics which are related to either robotics or renewable energy.
I myself tried to find all the latest topics from around the world and write about them to give you some more insight into what's happening around.
Robotics
Robotics Projects Robotics would be a good choice in mechanical projects: Robots are very attractive in comparison to other projects and if everything goes well they will make you win.
Though I have written a separate post about robotics here as a starting point I would like to share all important links in this section. Using given links you can enhance your knowledge before building your own machines.
Topics based on solar energy is one of my favorite in mechanical engineering because despite its easy to understand working and concept, work based on this energy is very useful and effective for our future energy needs.
Concept: Generally they work on this concept:
Solar Energy --> Solar Panel --> Electricity --> Machine(Grinder, Juicer, Mobile Charger, Bag, etc.) or Storage(Battery)
Solar Energy--> Heat--> Cooking, Boiling, Water Filter, etc.
The important thing to consider in your assignment is that how you can improve its efficiency either for boiling purposes or for heating. For eg. Recently discussed Spherical cell concentrate more sunlight at one place and therefore generates more power similarly scientist have found out that nano solar cells are more flexible and more efficient than any other cell available.
Solar Compressor:
You can build something which gets its power from Sun Energy. For e.g., power your AC of a small room using a compressor that gets its power from panels.Such as Solar Powered Air Conditioner
In this example, it is a small room. Half-ton capacity will be sufficient. You will need at least kWh/24 hours. This may require 10 to 12 square meter panel plus battery and inverter.

Engines
Stirling Engine :
Video and Complete Explanation of Stirling Engine
Stirling Engine Mini RC Car: We had discussed both Stirling Engine and Remote control cars in two separate posts. In this post, we will combine these two technologies.
Sun Powered Stirling Engine Generator:
Windmill Projects:
We all know how we can generate electricity using windmills with the help of its revolution energy and turbines. I have tried to list out some other important stuff we can do using this energy. Though I have written independent articles only on windmill projects but the sky is the limit for what you can do with this energy. In my opinion, if anything which can produce rotational energy instantly is wind energy and mini projects can be built and tested using a small room fan. With all these benefits, I will recommend you to give it a chance. In any mechanical projects science fair competition, you can give a demonstration using the fan.

@Dhaval @Ravi Ranjan @vinod @neha Hope you all get my reply.
Hello everybody,
I am a fifth year architectural student and I am looking for engineers to help me design production machinery required for a hemp farm. Basically I need an machine that does everything separates the seeds from the stalk, the fibre from the hurds. I would like the seeds then to be crushed and the oil produced to be bottled.
SO do you fancy a challenge, do you want to get involved if so then please email me at emer.oneill@hotmail.co.uk.
thank you
Emer O'Neill
hello sir.......
this is avishek banerjee...
i want few nice mechanical projects (not robotics) .
it would be better if the project is better than average(3rd year level).It can include a bit of electronics.plz do mail it to me as soon as possible..
thanking you.
sir iam santhosh doing diploma in mechanical engg plz send me some mechanical projects whose major propotion should related to mechanical i need it imediatly i need it as soon as possible
HAI..
im a final year B.E student.please do give some ideas for mechanical projects
@Guru @ Karthik I hope you both got my mail.
@Vikas its ok! @Deepak hope you both got your mails...
@Zunair @Kiran @Harendra I hope you got your mails.....
Hi CG,i am Sunil currently in pre final year chemical engineering.i request you to throw some light on important topics within my domain.
My id: sunilgm@ymail.com
waiting for your words..
regards.
@Ashok @Nidhish hope you both got my mail. and Nidhish there is no need to write 6 comments in a row.Even though I publish few comments but I read each and every comment and always reply.
Hello sir...., could u plz help m by giving ideas related to latest mechanical projects plz sir....! Leave the suggestions to m email i.d: kirank.m31990@gmail.com
Thanks a lot sir.....
Thank you for your ideas.....
Actually I was thinking about one of the ideas you told.... Seawater desalination plant using hydraulic pressurizer at one end and solar/wind power suction unit at the other end..... using reverse osmosis technique...... How about the feasibility of the idea?
Is it possible to create such a huge amount of reverse osmotic pressure from such sources, since I read that reverse osmosis and the desalination plant requires huge pressure....
Any way thanks again for the ideas and thanks for replying fast
@viswakanth.....Salt water can be used as alternate fuel because as Kanzius (inventor) claimed under the right conditions, salt water can burn at high temperatures.Read more about his story at http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/alternative-fuels/salt-water-fuel.htm
For more details you need to give me your mail id.
I am palanivel dng 3rd year mech ...... I need of some projects ... So some ideas give me pls .. My mail id palani.vel700@gmail.com. So pls send any mechanical projects work ideas
