Wheelbarrow is a simple machine, which belong to the second-class lever. This is because the load or resistance is placed between the effort and the fulcrum. It is used in many areas of work to convey loads that are too heavy or bulky to be carried by hand. In 2020, we after all the hardships we faced one thing we learnt for certain is the paramount importance of disaster management from the lowest level in a household to the highest at the government. In these times we understand that safety of life trumps above all else. We tried to walk in that same direction with the help of this project that proves as an essential tool that may come in handy in times of floods. Our goal is to innovate a product that is useful on the everyday but also turns into a crucial equipment when needed. With extensive research we have designed a wheelbarrow that is multipurpose in nature. It can be used as a normal wheelbarrow on the day-to-day activities and as a floatation device for humans in terms of floods. Our process included everything from research into the selection of materials to research. into the most optimum design that would be feasible both technically and economically. The analysis has been done by using Ansys. We also tuned the ergonomics of the wheelbarrow so that it is easy in operation when used from day to day.
