Milking Machine

Raghav Gowda (Milking machine) Karnataka
Finding skilled labour for milking a small herd of cows is a problem faced by many farmers.

But using machines for milking is a luxury which only a large farm or a dairy house can afford. Raghava decided to develop some method of milking, which would be affordable for all farmers.
The result: an easy to operate and low cost milking machine that can milk 1.5-2 litre of milk per minute.
The machine can be used to remove all the milk from the udder. The cow feels as if it is being suckled and does not experience any pain.

Hand operated water lifting pump

N Sakthimainthan (Hand operated water lifting pump)
Tamil Nadu
Sakthimainthan built his hand operated water pump in response to a dearth of available pumps that could be afforded by small farmers.

He built five prototypes over a period of fifteen years before finally perfecting his design.
The resulting water-lifting device is operated by the continuously rotating a handle. It is simple in design and has a high discharge at low cost compared to the motorized pumps and conventional hand pumps.
The pump has discharge of 20,000 lph at 0.75 m head. The unit has also been tested by TNAU, Coimbatore and improved by CMERI Durgapur. It is useful device for drainage as well.

Multi-Utility Fuel Efficient Stove

A stove is still the most widely used device for cooking in large parts of rural and semi-urban India. This domestic product has huge social signifance. However, it is also a reason why a majority of rural women have breathing-related disorders due to inefficient burning of kerosene. These stoves also lead to huge loss of fuel.

This is where Mr. S. C. Joe’s invention comes in. 56-year old Mr. S.C Joe has 32 years of experience as an Industrial electrician in the fields of air conditioning & refrigeration , solar equipment. He still pursues experiments to build devices using his experience in heat exchange. Mr. Joe has shown that there really is no age bar for innovation.

His latest innovation is called the Multi-Utility Fuel Efficient Stove. The stove has a burner, boiler and water regulator. It’s innovative features are:

    Minimal Loss of energy
    Cooking can be done for 14 hours in one litre of kerosene.
    Smoke free and vapour free
    Heat lost from the sides is absorbed by a built-in boiler from which steam and hot water can be trapped.
    Possesses an inbuilt water jacket for Steam Generation.

Thus the stove makes optimum use of the fuel and the energy generated from it. The steam jacket can withstand high pressures and has been tested for a pressure of 200 kPa (double the atmospheric pressure).

Bullock Operated Sprayer

The bullock operated sprayer is pulled by a pair of bullocks and gets the drive from the ground through a gear box and belt pulley system.
When the operator shifts the lever to a higher gear, the frequency of strokes of the pump increases as a result of which more pressure develops in the container. The spray fluid, thus, atomizes into fine droplets with a wider swath.

This sprayer considerably reduces time requirement as compared to manual spraying and also the drudgery and health hazards involved in manual spraying.

It has 18 nozzles, spaced at a distance of 35 cm and can cover 3.5 acre/h.

Amazing Innovation

Bhagwan Singh Dangi (Reaper windrower machine)
Madhya Pradesh
Many times, in a standing crop, soybean pods shatter due to non-availability of labourers for harvesting the crop in time, leading to reduced yield and loss. To solve this problem Bhagwan Singh decided to develop a reaper windrower machine.
This device has three different units namely, cutting unit, which consists of cutter bar, reel unit for pushing the standing crop towards the cutter bar and gathering unit to windrow the crop at centre of the machine thus making it easy to handle/transport to the threshing floor.

It reduces manpower requirement and the drudgery involved in the harvesting process. The machine has 7 ft width of operation and can cover 0.4 hectares per hour. While operating this machine, fuel consumption of tractor is 2.5-3 litres per hour.
