Solar Mosquito Destroyer

Features
 Solar mosquito destroyer is about the size of a big dictionary and
weighs 1.5 kilograms.

 Device is an outdoor unit that is installed in a place where it can


receive direct sunlight.

 The basic components used in its assembly are polymer base


compartment, a transparent dome shaped "solar furnace" with two
side wings to lead and collect the dead mosquitoes at the bottom,
inner fine mesh layers, a central conical channel with trap hole,
control valve to calibrate the bio-gas and bio-gas exhaust tube.

 Unit costs about 30 US dollars, with no running costs.

 Once installed, it requires only 30 minutes of direct sunlight.

Based on the Principal


 Device works on a simple principle—that mosquitoes multiply fast in
moist humid zones but cannot survive in heat.

Working
 The destroyer uses the smell of the biogas from the septic tank - a
common breeding ground for mosquitoes - flowing through a
circular inlet tube provided in the base to attract the insects.

 Once trapped in the destroyer, they are killed by the heat built up
inside the device due to direct sunlight exposure.
 The two wings of the inverted U-shaped solar furnace have been
designed to collect the dead mosquitoes, and for easy emptying and
cleaning.

3. Uv Technology Tio2 Mosquito Killer

Working Principal

Mosquitoes, even in dark, can easily locate where a person is by sensing carbon
dioxide and temperature that he/she sheds. Also, they react extremely sensitively to
near ultraviolet rays.

Using these properties of mosquitoes, V-mark photo catalyst mosquito trap can
decoy and capture mosquitoes both in bright indoors and in dark outdoors by a
tripartite system, HEAT and NEAR ULTRAVIOLET RAYS produced by the fluorescent
lamps installed inside, and CARBON DIOXIDE produced when near ultraviolet rays
are radiated onto titanium dioxide. Carbon Dioxide (CO2): a gas which is completely
harmless to the human beings.
Decoyed mosquitoes enter into the exterminator through the capture windows on the
upper part, and then are strongly drawn into the capture net on the lower part.

Price of the product starts from Rs 850 onwards.

Shuttle Loom

A loom is a machine or device for weaving thread or yarn into textiles. Looms
can range from very small hand-held frames, to large free-standing hand looms,
to huge automatic mechanical devices.

A shuttle in weaving is a device used with a loom that is thrown back and forth
between the threads of the warp in order to weave in the weft or woof. Shuttles
are often made of flowering dogwood wood because it is so hard, resists
splintering, and finishes very smooth.

In Shuttle loom single shuttle is used and horse shoes are been fixed at the two
ends of the loom.

Price

Price of shuttle loom machine starts from Rs 3500* onwards.

Double Shuttle Loom

Two shuttles are used for the purpose of weaving. And one horse shoe is
used in the middle of the two shuttles.

Working

When the first shuttle strikes from one end, the middle horse-shoe strikes
the shuttle second shuttle in the same direction. Therefore, both the
shuttles move in the same direction simultaneously and the middle horse–
shoe strikes one shuttle at a time.
Smokeless Stoves

Smokeless stoves and wood conserving stoves are terms used to


describe stoves designed for developing country settings to reduce the
health impacts of smoke from open fires inside dwellings. It is generally
claimed that the new designs burn the wood (or other fuel) more
efficiently. Important features may include a pipe (chimney) to vent the
smoke and a different chamber design.

 BIOMASS BRIQUETTE

Biomass briquettes are made from agricultural waste and are a replacement


for fossil fuels such as oil or coal, and can be used to heat boilers in
manufacturing plants, and also have applications in developing
countries. Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and avoid
adding fossil carbon to the atmosphere.

A number of companies in India have switched from furnace oil to biomass


briquettes to save costs on fuels. The use of biomass briquettes is predominant
in the southern parts of India, where coal and furnace oil are being replaced by
biomass briquettes.

 PELLET

A pellet stove is a stove that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a


source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By slowly feeding fuel
from a storage container (hopper) into a burn-pot area, they create a constant flame
that requires little to no physical adjustments.

 Corn Stove

A corn stove is designed for whole kernel shelled corn combustion and is
similar to a pellet stove. The chief difference between a pellet stove and a
dedicated corn stove is the addition of metal stirring rod within the burn
pot or an active ash removal system. These vary in design slightly, but
usually consist of one long metal stalk with smaller rods welded at a
perpendicular angle, in order to churn the burn-pot as it spins.

Important Findings from Articles

An ex-lecturer from Delhi University, Ramesh Singh, (now based in Varanasi) has
developed a bio-stove fuelled by dry rice husk, which can cook a full meal at a cost
of just 25 paise. The stove is designed in a way that merely 250gm of rice husk
could generate proper flame for cooking a square meal.

All that one has to do is to fill the iron tray in the stove with the dry husk, which
then gets trapped in the burner. It is ignited with a small piece of paper and soon
gives out flame, enabling users to cook a veg or non-veg meal for five to six
persons within 30 to 45 minutes.

The stove can be used for two years, without any replacement.

The stove, priced at Rs 450 only.

Multiway Switches
Multiwayswitching is interconnection of two or more light switches to control lighting
from more than one location. This allows lighting in a hallway or stairwell to be
controlled from either end.

Off On

Three-way and four-way switches make it possible to control a light from


multiple locations, such as the top and bottom of a stairway, or either end of a
long hallway. These switches are externally similar to single-pole switches, but
have extra connections which allow two circuits to be controlled.

Important Finding

1. P&G Ivory Soap

The name "Ivory" refers to a series of products created by the Procter &
Gamble Company (P&G), including varieties of a white and mildly
fragranced bar soap, which became famous for its pure content and for
floating in water. Ivory bar soap is whipped with air in its production and
floats in water.

Procter & Gamble product research, which was reported during October
1992, has involved creating other varieties of Ivory soap that do not float
as the original, and would sink due to the altered ingredients, but also
would avoid dissolving too fast when wet.

Ingredients articals

The Ivory soap bar (classic) had contained sodium tallowate, sodium
cocoate or sodium palm kernelate, water, sodium chloride, sodium
silicate, magnesium sulfate, and fragrance. The soap bar had a
determined pH value: 9.5.

2. Palmolive floating Soap

Palmolive® soap, originally manufactured as a floating soap,


was introduced by the B. J. Johnson Soap Company.

Herbal Dyes

Dyes prepared using natural objects, especially medicinal plants and natural
vegetables. They have been commanding a huge market due to their obvious
advantages.

Natural dyes find use in the colouringof textiles, drugs, cosmetics, etc. Owing to
their nontoxiceffects, they are also used for colouring variousfood products. In
India, there are more than 450 plantsthat can yield dyes.

Nowadays much of the stress in textile industry is given on Herbal dyes that use
only natural plants and minerals for all steps of the production process. The
advantages of the dyes extracted from the medicinal plants origin from
renewable resources, limited chemical reactions involved in their preparation,
Biodegradable properties, health curing properties, and harmony with nature.

Types of natural dyes

Three types of dyes are there through plants, animals and minerals

 Plant dyes
Many natural dyestuff and stains were obtained mainly from plants and
dominated as sources of natural dyes, producing different colours like red,
yellow, blue, black, brown and a combination of these. Almost all parts of
the plants like root, bark, leaf, fruit, wood, seed, flower, etc. produce
dyes.

 Animal dyes
Cochineal is a brilliant red dye produced from insects living on cactus
plants. The properties of the cochineal bug were discovered by pre-
Columbian Indians, who dried the female insects under the sun, and then
ground the dried bodies to produce a rich red powder. When mixed with
water, the powder produced a deep, vibrant red colour. Cochineal is still
harvested today on the Canary Islands. In fact, most cherries today have
a bright red appearance through the artificial colour ‘carmine’, which is
obtained from the cochineal insect.

 Mineral dyes
Ocher is a dye obtained from an impure earthy ore of iron or
ferruginous clay, usually red (hematite) or yellow (limonite).In
addition to being the principal ore of iron, hematite is a constituent
of a number of abrasives and pigments.
