NEWS: She is Rimpy Tripathy- a 21-year-old engineering student from Gogamukh
which lies on the border of Lakhimpur and Dhemaji districts of Assam. The girl
from this backward corner of the country has attracted global attention for her
inventions-an anti-rape device and a DTMF-controlled autiomatic floor
cleaner.As she is dreaming big, Rimpy has now entered a global contest for her
latest inventions becoming a youth icon in her own right.
The
daughter of Adhesh Tripathy and Suvasha Tripathy,Rimpy, a student of SRM
University, Chennai was greatly disturbed by the Delhi gang rape incident.She
at once decided to check the menace that affects female dignity and
identity.After long discussions with her
class-mates in her hostel,Rimpy came out with an innovation –SHE, a device
which will revolutionize the society while fighting violence against women.
The
Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE) is an anti-rape device that can fully
protect a women from rape at any time and at any place.It is a bra that can deliver 3800 KV electric
shock to anyone who attempts to molest or grope a women. If someone tries to
grab the bra, it generates electric shock on the outer side and if a person
thus receives the shock,person cannot stand up again for about 10 minutes.The
battery attached to the device can create
such electric shocks up to 82 times.Following the act of grabbing , the
pressure sensor attached to the device sends
messages to two different locations –
one to a family member or anyone whose
number has been fixed and the other to the nearby police station.The first
message informs the location with the mobile GPS and GSM tracking device, and
the next message is sent as an SOS.The
device can also be kept on an ‘off’ or ‘on’ mode with a swith.Futher , plans
are there to interface the system with a smartphone by using Bluetooth which,in
turn, will send crisis messages instantly to the people who need to be
contacted in cases of emergency.
The
wearer of SHE is protected against this shock as the entire system is in a
bi-layer fabric that insulates the wearer.The pressure values for squeeze,
pinch and grab have been calibrated on the device and the force applied on
hugging does not meet the conditions for activation of the device, and there is
also a sef-actuation switch through which a women can activate it herself when
in an unsafe environment.
SHE
is developed by her small team Rimpy’s fellow students at SRM,Chennai –Niladri Basu
Bal, a student of instrumentation and control Engineering, and Manisha Mohan, a
student of Automobile Engineering - The SHE project has been a completely
independent one by Rimpy and her two classmates where they used their own pocket
money.
