Ad hoc on the go Wifi from Evo Wingle without a power socket

At Highbrows Engineering & Technologies, we love staying connected to the internet. As we go for developing engineering products, we never forget our core vision of creating an internet of things in Pakistan. This is why we  never stop experimenting on anything that we get our hands on to make the technology dirt cheap to pay for and easy to access whenever it comes to the domestic gadgets without compromising on essentials.

Our Chief Engineering Executive, Shehryar, has recently taken on an out-of-the-box approach for getting connected to mobile WiFi. You might have seen people connecting to the internet with PTCL Evo and other such products making use of the wireless internet. One of such products that has become Shehryar's favourite is Evo Wingle - so he decided to experiment. Why carry the laptop everywhere, or search for power sockets, why pay for GPRS / 3G and why go searching for WiFi hotspots when Wingle could provide internet to external devices.

All it needed was power... so the need was to give it on the go battery operated power... and that's exactly what was given to it. Shehryar created a hardware interface that connected an 'off-the-shelf' battery with Wingle letting it power up and create a local WiFi network for his cell phone. Now a laptop or a power socket is not needed to be hurled around to make use of the high speed internet you already paid for; just a pocket interface gadget, Wingle device, the battery and ofcourse the cell phone which one would never leave home anyway. Once the device powers up, you can connect to the WiFi with the cell phone or a tablet (or even let your friends connect to it on the go).

Furnace simulation

 

As the research of Highbrows Engineering on furnace development specifically for Pakistani industry progresses, we would like to share it with every one else to keep it open sourced.

On the course of furnace simulation development, we have been reviewing and testing furnace simulators online and any options that might be there in the form of desktop applications so as to develop FurnoSim, the Pakistani bred industrial furnace simulator. The aim is to benefit both the industry as a commercial product as well as an academic product for students and professionals and it is on our to do list of products that are coming up.

Steeluniversity.org shares a free online furnace simulator which can calculate some basic cycles for some preset processes such as alloying. Although these do not cater the professional needs but they can be very exciting for fresh professionals or students to learn the processes without actually wasting energy and material. Go ahead and test their online electric arc furnace training simulator, for example. On the main page they also have other metallurgy and testing related simulation links that may come in handy for atleast learning and academic presentations.

On the side, keeping our promise of sharing the research with the world, our physics and electronics research side has been making progress and will be coming up with products soon. As a treat, a theoretical moving particle simulation is shared below with explanation:

This moving charge simulator shows for how +ive / -ive acceleration of electron emits light / radiation - fields point radially towards the charge and when the charge accelerates, the difference of where the charge should have been with previous velocity and where the charge is now with the change is a perpendicular shift of the field lines. This shift travels away form the charge at the speed of light as radiations. This can also be taken as a mathematical version of light where the light is considered as mathematical correction of the difference being updated through out the universe at the maximum speed possible (which is the speed of light). This changes with respect to relativity when you accelerate the electron to the speed of light and is also shown in the simulation (if you accelerate it to that point in the settings).

Direction of Passion

Polish Entrepreneur / Blogger, Maciej Biegajewski, posts an interview at KIERUNEK PASJA (Direction of Passion) with me as Highbrows Engineering & Technologies' CEO about our human resource development drive.

Coursera.org has been a part of Highbrows' skill development drive. The site facilitates the world's top universities to offer free online courses to international students. Although the antecedent post is about an entrepreneurship course, Coursera offers much of the courses relevant to applied sciences. Spreading awareness about such platforms to undergraduates and school students might help them improvise their aspiration or learn on top of their current skills in applied sciences and many related fields.
