Abstract: In Atkinson engine, residual heat in the form of exhaust is quite a fraction of the energy produced in the combustion of gasoline. With an ever increasing demand for fossil fuels depleting their reserves to their limit, there is an inherent need for better engines which can utilize residual heat. ATKINSON-STIRLING ENGINE can be the solution to this problem. The heat exchanged with the refrigeration system in which R-12 is the working fluid is used to power the Stirling engine; however gasoline is used for the initiation of the process. We intend to make normal gasoline powered engine more efficient, green and cheaper in the long run

Abstract: Is paper intends to give proposal and reasoning for various applications where a pantograph mechanism can be utilized to obtain a simpler machine with high accuracy. A pantograph is an old mechanism and is widely used in electrical locomotives to transfer electricity from catenary lines. It consist of 5 linkages forming parallelogram, each of the link is connected with the help of pin joint in order to form a revolute pair. Its only function is to imitate an enhanced or dwindle image of the geometry it traces. By this virtue, it can be installed with some modifications in various machines to ease the complexity of these machines and their costs. Individual modelling and motion analysis in solidworks of these mechanism is also in the scope of this paper, but due to redundancy of same kind of results only some results are shown. Analysis is done by using three types of pantograph, so that all three same outputs can vouch for feasibility of application.
