Mechanical engineering Project Ideas

Robotics 
Robotics would be a good choice for mech students because topics based on robots are very new and innovative in comparison to any other project idea.Moreover, If your robot works as expected on final day, it will definitely make you win.

Though I  have written separate post about robotics but for a starting point I have given all the important links in this section. Using these links you can strengthen your basics before designing some complex machine.
Robot with one wheel
Solar Energy 
Solar energy is one of my favorite topics because though its working is easy to understand but ideas related to this topic are very useful 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 .

Important thing to consider in your assignment is that how you can improve its efficiency either for boiling purpose or for heating. For ex.  Recently discussed Spherical cell concentrate more sun light 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 compressor which get its power from solar panel.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 solar panel plus battery and inverter.
Books on Solar Energy (pdf):

Solar2
Hovercraft
Hovercraft definition by wiki : click here
It would be awesome if you design a hover car using tools of your house.

Engines 
Stirling Engine :

Video's and Complete Explanation of Stirling Engine Project

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.

Solar Powered Stirling Engine Generator:



Steam engines 
These engines are powered by steam and building them will help you to understand the concept and working of steam engines.Though steam engines are most ancient engines, but it is still one of the most widely used engine.Thermal power plants are one of such use.Nowadays, due to the problem of global warming, we should find a way to produce steam using renewable sources of energy.Couple of renewable steam engines, I discussed on this blog are Solar Powered steam engine and Solar Turbine Generator.
