E xamples of Green Projects in India
There are various examples of Green Projects in India. Let us learn about some of them is detail.
The Walkie-Talkie Mobi Charger
Anand Gangadharan and Mohak Bhalla, students of Mount
Carmel School, Delhi, devised a little device that functions as a A device
portable mobile charger when attached to the heel of a shoe that enables
while the person is running. The two schoolboys created the shoes to
mould, wired it, and shaped the metal sheets from scratch. charge
mobile
This device, which took over three months to develop, generates
power up to six volts, as compared to the five volts released by a
plug point, and hence charges the phone battery more quickly.
Mitticool
Mitticool, the brainchild of Mansukhlal Raghavjibhai Prajapati,
a modest clay craftsman in Rajkot, Gujarat, is a low-cost clay
refrigerator that does not require electricity. Mitticool requires
just basic cleaning every two or three days since it uses water's
ability to remove heat through evaporation, the age-old idea
of 'Surahi' or 'cooling through evaporation'. The top of the unit is
filled with water, which slowly drips down the sides, evaporating
off the porous clay surface and chilling the interior. This also
serves as a water cooler with a tiny faucet tap. It also aids in
the reduction of electrical expenditures, which greatly benefits
many rural families.
