Cattle Powered Electric generator and inverter |
Khammam, Andhra Pradesh |
The idle cattle can be used to run an electric generator, which in turn charges a battery system. An inverter would then run on the battery system supplying electric power to our institute for a grinder, a refrigerator, an exhaust fan all in the kitchen and for lighting and fans in the students We plan to document the economics of the system while using the cattle power from oxen, milk yielding cows and buffaloes and their young ones. The track for the cattle to go round and the geared system to couple the slow rotary motion of the cattle to the electrical generator would be custom built. Also built would be a battery charger and an inverter along with the necessary control and monitoring panels. |
