5.6 EXAMPLES 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 portable mobile charger when attached to the heel of a shoe while the person is running. The two schoolboys created
                 the mould, wired it,t and shaped the metal sheets from scratch.
                 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.


                                                                                 A device

                                                                             that enables

                                                                                 shoes to
                                                                                  charge

                                                                                  mobile










                 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.
