Vacuum Assisted Climbing Device

Vacuum Assisted Climbing Device is a new way to climb vertical surfaces like wall, buildings easily and faster than the conventional methods like ladders and ropes etc. This device works on the vacuum to climb the vertical surfaces as its name indicate and this vacuum is utilized by two suction pads which are available in the hands of the climber and the suction pads are connected with the suction motor (vacuum pump) with the hoses. With the help of vacuum suction pad we can climb vertical surfaces like wall easily and without causing damage to the contact surface, their suction force should be designed by considering both external condition and the loads of working equipment. In this project we performed a basic experiment on the vacuum suction force of suction pads attached to a vertical wall under various load condition. This mechanism enables a person to climb up wall and remain suspended with no handholds. Citation: Shyam Lal Sharma, Anurag Mishra , Rohit Verma , Shashank Dhuriya, Tara Chand .
