Bio-waste gasifier that works out cheaper than grid power
Many ingenious innovations in agriculture do not require an IITian's brain, but are by humble, poor peasants across the country. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, several hundreds of these innovators endowed with their curiosity, traditional knowledge and skills have made farming easier for themselves and their ilk.
Mr. Rai Singh Dahiya in Rajasthan never stepped into a school, but it did not stop him from receiving an award from the local District Collector for building a unique biomass gasifier for operating modified diesel engines.
The biomass-based gasifier unit processes about 20 kg of bio-waste to run an engine of 30 HP for an hour. So far about 50 gasifiers have been sold in the village.
