India's First Auto Gear Car -- Maruti Suzuki 'Celerio'

The Maruti Suzuki Celerio is 3.6-metres long (2.4 metre wheelbase), 1.6-metres wide and 1.5-metres high, making it larger than the outgoing vehicle. Its overall design retains all the familiar elements of the small Suzuki hatchback language but is a completely new car.The fasica gets the new Suzuki grille and will most likely be offered with projectors on the higher spec variants in Europe.

It is available in four manual and two automatic variants with both gearboxes mated to a 1.0-litre K10B engine that produces 67bhp and 90Nm torque. The manual is a five-speed unit while the AT is an AMT unit which is a first in segment and is expected to become a standard feature among competitors.

Inside, the top-spec Celerio gets beige and black upholstery, Bluetooth enabled music system and electric OVRMs. On the safety front optional features include ABS and dual front airbags. However, we expect the dealers will offer many company approved accessories for the Celerio. Maruti Suzuki Celerio competes with the Hyundai Santrro Xing and the Chevrolet Beat.

Electromagnetic Torch Light

An electromagnetic flashlight with transparent barrel lets you see how a moving magnet within a coil of wire will induce a current.

The moving magnetic field line (flux pattern) cuts through the wires causing electromagnetic induction. If you look inside the clear case as you shake, you will see the powerful magnet pass back and forth through a loop of wire.

In the scientific demo model pictured on the right:

The electrical energy produced is stored in a capacitor that can be charged hundreds of thousands of times.

The bulb is an energy efficient ultra-bright white LED. 30 seconds of shaking provides a full charge, and will produce a beam  of light for several minutes.

WORKING:-

For this to work practically you need a powerful permanent magnet - such as one made of neodymium. One of these magnets will be small but have a very dense array of flux lines (strong magnetic field) around it.

The permanent magnet is inside a plastic track which allows it to slide up and down. When you shake the flashlight, the permanent magnet passes through the copper coil repeatedly.

NOTE-

The problem with this type of magnet is that the flashlight will have a strong magnetic field - and may well interfere with analogue watches or cards with magnetic strips of info on them! You therefore should not store such a flashlight in your handbag near your credit cards!

Manufacturers have made flashlight torches like this that use the electrical energy produced to charge up a rechargable battery. In that way a bit of protracted shaking can store enough energy to produce a longer 'ligh up' time.
