PYRO AEGIS- Fire Protection for
Trains
(Filed Patent)
Table Top Tesla Coil
 Students designed and created Tesla coil which can generate very High voltage.
 High impulse voltages are required for testing purposes to simulate over-voltages that
occur in power systems due to lightning or switching surges.
Mentor: Mr.A.Abikoshy ,Prof. EEE
 High voltage is used for insulation testing of various components in power systems
namely power frequency a.c, high frequency, switching or lightning impulses.
PYRO AEGIS- Fire Protection for Trains
Mentor: Dr.A.K.Parvathy
 Pyro Aegis process is to help in alerting the passengers with the alarm system and
automatic raising of the emergency windows for the convenient escape of passengers
in case of fire accidents.
 As fire accidents take place in the trains, the fire sensors (smoke as well as heat
sensors i.e GST multi sensors) are used for the detection of fire in fire prone coaches
namely, engine, pantry car and the AC coaches.
 These sensors are connected together to a panel in the train. The panel also has a
buzzer that rings when the fire is detected.
 Filed a Patent
