In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on renewable and biodegradable energy sources among lubricant manufacturers due to the environmental impacts and limited availability of fossil-based engine oils. Biomass sources present a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional mineral oil sources. This study aims to produce an...

Granular materials play critical role in Building construction and Casting operations. The sizes are an essential component in any construction, be it structure or road. Sizes required for column/beam differ greatly from one needed for plaster or flooring. Often the sand is contaminated with impurities that will adversely affect its quality during...

Design and fabrication of a potato peeler

This paper presents the development of a groundnut roasting machine.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a popular nutritional food crop around the world with over 110 million metric tonnes produced annually. Manual peeling with knives is still very much prevalent, it tedious, time consuming and may lead to cuts. A sweet potato peeling machine has been developed with that will hasten the peeling of potato and may b...

Roasted groundnut is a source of income lots of Nigerians, it is often prepared traditionally using and open fire with the chances of injury, time wastage and inconsistent roasts. This method is unhygienic, in efficient and time-consuming. The problems from traditional roasting methods have been addressed by the mechanical roasters, like the tediou...

Pest control

The proposal is for a locally conceptualized cassava drying machine; it includes the introduction, problem statement, aim and objectives, method adopted along with the expected results.

Crushers are essential machines in several industries for particle size reduction. They are invaluable in laboratories (higher institutions and research centres), the mining and construction industries. Available crushers are imported and very expensive. This has pushed some workers around Nigeria to crush stones with crude materials and manual lab...

Quadcopters are one of the most versatile unmanned aerial vehicles deployed for various purposes. In this study it is going to be used as part of a system used for bird control therefore the structural integrity is investigated. The aim of the paper is to investigate the structural and aerodynamic behaviour of a quadcopter intended for bird control...

Mobile robots are immensely important robots used for various applications; agriculture, military, firefighting and space exploration. The differential drive configurations are widely used due to their simplicity, easiness of control and flexibility. This paper describes the modelling of a differential drive robot taking into account the kinematics...

A groundnut roasting machine has been developed with a roasting chamber made of steel sheet of AISI 1015. The chamber will be heated up to 105°C for the roasting process to occur. This paper is focused on the thermo-structural analysis of the chamber to ascertain whether the material can withstand the stress generated in the process. Thermal struct...

The Nigerian farmers face problems of pest management, weed management, crop health management, labour shortages, resource waste and environmental damage due to use of heavy machinery. Providing solutions to these problems are of utmost importance. This paper presents a brief review of agricultural robots with emphasis on outdoor mobile robots. The...

Crushers are needed in a lot of industries for the sole purpose of size reduction. They are invaluable machines in laboratories (whether for institutions, government or private owned), mining and construction industries. Locally available machineries that are effective and affordable are very scarce. This has pushed some workers around the country...

DEVELOPING A BIRD PEST MULTIPLE AUTONOMOUS REPELLING SYSTEM FOR FARM APPLICATION

The use of robots in the world is continuously increasing each year because global competition in the market requires continuous automation and modernization of production processes, especially in the automotive industry. Robots are employed in medicine, security and even for social use. This paper reviews the fundamental requirements necessary for...
