A student of Christ School in Manipal developed an electricity generation machine by burning domestic waste. He said the solid domestic waste can be burnt and later dropped into the hopper of the furnace. When the doors slide, it falls into the burning chamber. Gas is used for the flame at high temperature. The steam is used to turn the turbines of the electric chamber, through which the power is generated.

One from Government Composite College, Manur has invented a service station for the vehicles using the spray machine.

The children also displayed speed controller using electromagnet, areca nut disease checking machine, equipment aiding energy production by air, water sprinkler, bio-waste dustbin, solar drier, water heater, irrigation machine and many others which were enthusiastically displayed and  in-depth explanations given by the inventors who were not second to any others.
