NIF ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009.pdf - National Innovation ...

developed by Shri Mehtar Hussain and MrMushtaq Ahmed were installed at Little Runnof Kutchh for lifting brine (Salt water) for Saltproduction with the help of Rotary club,Wadvan city of Surendranagar. Five unitshave been installed. The response receivedwas encouraging from the farmers and basedon suggestions received it has been modifiedinto multi direction wind mill to make it moreefficient and useful. This wind mill adjustsitself according to the direction of wind flowand therefore it gives continuous discharge.After the successful installation of wind millat Kutchh, Aga Khan Rural Supportprogramme (AKRSP) also approached GIANwest for the installation of such unit atJunagadh district. A multi directional windmillwas installed at Village Bhalchhel in TalalaTaluka of Junagadh district on 24 th May,2008. The average water output wasrecorded to be 2000 lit / hr @12km/hr windspeed. One unit has also been establishedat Central Salt Marine Chemical ResearchInstitute (CSMCRI), Bhavnagar.For adding value, turbine blades made ofdifferent materials viz. FRP material,Composite panel mounted on aluminiumframe and aluminium box filled up with PUFmaterial were developed. It has reduced theweight of the blades without decreasing thestrength of the blade of PUF material. Thetesting is yet to be carried out.Auto CompressionSprayer: Prototypedevelopment workhas been undertakenby GIAN with thehelp of IDEA, anAhmedabad basedprofessional designConsultancyCompany. Newdesigns have been conceptualized forincreasing the pressure inside the tank byconsidering the tank as the dead weight.Whole Stalk Paddy Threshing Machine: Theinnovative paddy threshing machinedeveloped by Shri Mahipal Singh Ranaessentially uses a simple conveyor system tofeed paddy stalks to a threshing rotary cutter,which hits only the panicles leaving stalksuncrushed. Dr. S.M. Mathur, Associateprofessor, CTAE, MPUAT, Udaipur(Rajasthan) visited innovator’s place to havea look at the technology. Further valueaddition and development of commercialprototype of paddy thresher machine by theinnovator is being carried out.Herbal Bullet Proof Jacket: Detail materialresearch study at SRISTI laboratory is beingcarried out followed by prototypedevelopment. Innovator has developedvarious products like Helmets, pads for sportspurpose, jackets etc., by using samematerials. Testing by DRDO, Chandigarhwas done through College of Engineering,Pune and it was suggested to further improvethe technology.Plant Oil Stove: The first prototype developedand fabricated by Shantibhai, works on theprinciple of vaporizing the fuel and thenforcing the vapors to the combustion zone.For other prototype development, PRINCE(Promoters & Researchers in Non-Conventional Energy) has been involved andhas come up with a new model, whichvaporizes the plant oil using the heat fromthe burner and thereby eliminating the useof electricity.Low CostNatural ColdStorage: ShriArvindbhai,Gujarat hasdeveloped alow cost coldstorage forvegetables,which wasdemonstratedto a team fromGujaratE n e r g yDevelopment Agency (GEDA). The conceptprototype was tested at Krishi Vigyan Kendra,Chaswad, District Bharuch.13 Making India Innovative
