Samar Tripathi, a class 9 student from Jagatpur Nai Basti, Bahraich, has created a remarkable device that can quickly clear fog from vehicles' glass windows during the winter season. This invention has the potential to revolutionize road safety efforts. In recognition of his unique innovation, he has been awarded the Inspire Award along with a cash prize of Rs 10,000.

Preventing road accidents

Samar Tripathi's invention aims to address the issue of fog in cold weather, a major factor that reduces visibility and leads to road accidents. According to ICAO reports, 12 percent of road accidents each year are caused by fog. Samar's device provides a solution to this problem, helping to clear fog and potentially reducing the number of road accidents.

Fog Remove Device

Samar's device, called the 'Fog Remove Device,' is designed to convert fog into liquid. The device is built using various components, including a small motor, a heating element, a control plate, a tin box, wires, switches, and a charger. The name itself signifies its purpose: to remove fog.

The device uses a heating element and a fan. The heating element generates continuous heat, while the fan blows this hot air towards the fog. This process causes the fog to quickly turn into liquid, thereby improving visibility. It has potential future applications in road safety, aviation, and other cold environments where fog is prevalent.

Future projects

Samar Tripathi, a student at Saraswati Vidya Mandir in Bahraich, received assistance from his school friends and lab teacher in developing his device. His school provides training in creating various innovative devices. He plans to work on more significant projects in the future.
