Abstract

The technologies & concepts that were developed decades & centuries back, lying dormant got rejuvenated & redeployed by the recent strides in Electronic, Automation & Mechatronics fields. Computing & communication sectors had been playing pivotal role in this gainful redeployment of old techniques. Few of them are briefed in this paper along with the developments with integration of new innovative Mechatronic technologies. The technologies that are covered in this paper are: (1) Four square Method of Testing Mechanical Transmission elements - Testing Mechanical transmission components in Automobile industry; (2) Flywheel Energy Storage systems (FESS) – Non conventional Energy storage system; (3) Four bar linkage mechanism or Double drag link transmissions gainfully employed in Paper Roll to sheeting lines; (4) Deployment of Differential transmission in Horizontal Centrifuges – Solid Liquid separation; (5) Power generation in river canal upstream using Archimedes screw turbines. The paper also dwells on the technical intricacies in each application including brief on evolution of basic concept of each of the above application. Few applications details also explained in detail here and identifies sectors of industries that got benefitted out of such adaptations. The paper tries to prove that no intellectual thinking is a wasted effort and surely the concepts culminate in to great applications. It is an effort of the paper to evoke intellectual interest of the reader to identify simple solutions to a complicated problem through right mix of Old concepts & current day developments by siting examples & details.
