"India Innovates"
I think I am a huge TV Buff. I dont watch films or 'Saas-Bahu' serials. I watch documentaries, comedy shows, some great programmes on Discovery Travel and Living. I used to watch news channels before, but less now. All the news channels just hype some news, and go on and on on it!!
This blog is about a great programme called "India Innovates" in NDTV. It is programme focused on innovations in Rural India. These innovations are such simple ideas, but if put to daily use, they are of great value!! The inputs of this programme is provided by National Innovation Foundation, Ahmedabad, which recognises and supports such grass root level innovations.
One of the innovations I saw in this programme was of a Motor Bike which runs on a Battery, which does not need any RECHARGING !!!! Isn't this something unrealistic. But it is real. This Innovation is from Mr. Sahu ( forgot the first name) , Orissa.
He has changed a Rajdoot Motor Cycle to run on Battery with 2 gears. The Motor Cycle runs on this battery power. But the next one is the big thing which makes this Motor cycle unique. The Battery gets recharged by the Dynamo which generates electricity from rotating wheels, and is fitted into the Motor Cycle. So the energy comes a FULL CIRCLE !!!! How amazing it is !!!
This small idea is THE solution for the sky rocketing Oil Prices, Environmental concerns. The motor cycle just needs the one time investment for Battery and the Dynamo. But I have a QUESTION. Didn't any body think about this conversion of the rotational energy back to battery ?? Why hasn't any company released such a motor cycle yet to the market ?? Is there any danger in such a set up ??
Anyway, I am just waiting to see such a Motor Cycle in the market !!!!

Well,
think abt the car that runs on water - nice isnt it?
Honda is coming up with a car sooner or later.
hey real nice one...think shd start watching it... :)
'n regarding da above...i dont exactly know how these cars r supposed to work...but in case they req a const supply of water...'n considering tht ppl r already talking of 'water-wars'...will tht be a viable alternative?
Even I am not sure about the "Water Cars"..
At least the cost will be much higher than the normal ones...
The Innovation I told in the blog does not cost too much..
it is possible ?? we have read in physics (one of the law of thermodynamics)there will be loss of energy when converted from one form to other.
Yes.. There will be... If the energy losses can be minimised.. I think that should be possible..
In the Programme they showed the Mtor Cycle, with this setup.
