The mobile house




Model of next generation mobile house - made it when I was in 12th for participating in the science exhibition in Macfair International competition at our school.

The entire structure was made of plywood - more than 10 kgs heavy - and could move on wheels controlled by a handheld remote device. It was a two floors house with
- a motor controlled lift running between the 2 floors
- automatic lights
- fire alarm
- intrusion counter
- number lock based double doors
- a postbox with letter detector
- a rain water harvested fountain
- windows with light intensity control using polarizer

Not forgetting that all this was achieved without any microcontroller
