The poor of the world cannot be helped
by mass production, only by production
by the masses. The system of massproduction, based on sophisticated,
highly capital-intensive, high energy-
input dependent, and human labour-saving
technology, presupposes that you are already rich,for a great deal of capital investment is needed to
establish one single workplace. The system of
production by the masses mobilises the pricelessresources which are possessed by all human beings,
their clever brains and skilful hands, and supports
them with first-class tools.

OPERATION
Glass bottles(clear) are cleaned and water is
put into them up to 75% and shaken well for 20seconds. Solar dis-infection is more efficient inwater containing high levels of oxygen. Shakingthe bottles could increase oxygen levels. Onreacting with water, sunlight produces highlyreactive forms of oxygen. These reactive forms ofoxygen kill the microorganisms. Then the bottles
are filled with water to the full. The bottles areplaced in sunlight for 6 hours and taken to a coolplace for use.

Abraham Lincoln Foresaw Age of Wind Power
You know who predicted the age of wind power? Abraham Lincoln, thats who.

A New York Times article dated Nov. 22, 1936, quotes from a lecture titledDiscoveries and InventionsLincoln gave in 1860, before he becamepresident. Heres the relevant part:
Of all the forces of nature, I should think the windcontains the largest amount of motive power Take anygiven space of the earths surface, for instance, Illinois,
and all the power exerted by all the men, beasts, runningwater and steam over and upon it shall not equal the
100th part of what is exerted by the blowing of the windover and upon the same place. And yet it has not, so farin the worlds history, become properly valued as motive
power. It is applied extensively and advantageously to
sail vessels in navigation. Add to this a few windmills andpumps and you have about all.As yet the wind is an untamed, unharnessed force, andquite possibly one of the greatest discoveries hereafter tobe made will be the taming and harnessing of it.

Innovative FanIt is an age-old practice to use hand fans (Made of Palmaria Leaf). It
will be turned in horizontal way by holding it with hand. The air weget is gentle, as it wont recirculate in a circular motion in the case
of Table Fan.
Here I used the motor of the WIPER and fixed a plastic fan withsome weight. I use an inverter to use it with AC. Alternatively One
can use small batteries to drive it when power is off. Many people in
offices put the Ceiling Fan/Table Fan/Pedestal Fan in slow motion.
In such cases this novel fan will be very useful. Moreover one can
put ones own design as hand fan. It costs around Rs 500(about
US$10) in South India.

MULTI PURPOSE GAS STOVE
8/14/2019 Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development
60/77
Lakhs of small hotel people use gas stoves to prepare
coffee/tea. They use separate boiler to heat water for
cleaning the glasses. Thus there are two arrangements,
one for cooking and another for boiling water. Household
women also need hot water for cleaning the utensils and
washing hands.A multi purpose gas stove has been designed and tested.
A small storage system for water will be put at an
elevated place on a stand. There will be a small cross
section copper tube which will be attached to the storage
system(Alternatively the copper tube is attached to a
water tap if there is one with pressurized water). The
copper tube wounds around the stove burners
MULTI PURPOSE GAS STOVE
8/14/2019 Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development
61/77
and there will be outlets to takeout hot water from each
copper tube around the burners separately with tap
system (left side of the stove). The copper tubesconnected to the water tank can be separated while
moving the stove from place to place. Here the copper
tube utilizes part of the heat that touches the plate of the
stove. In this some energy which goes as waste (heating
the surface of the stove) is utilized to produce hot water
for cleaning. This is a clear case of energy conservat ion .
By having larger tank one can get hot water for bathingalso. This sys tem can be adopted in the case of biogas
stove also. Especially in cold regions, it will be a boon in
supplying hot water. This system costs around Rs 350/-
(about US$ 8) except the stove. It finds extensive use in

instalments (which have revolutionised rural sales of TVs,
cellphones, two-wheelers and houses). Second, dramatic cost-cutting
(some goods and services in India cost just 2-10% of the US cost).
Third, goods in small rather than large packings (e.g., shampoo in
sachets instead of bottles).
Fourth, pay-by-use (paying Rs 20 for internet use at an e-cafinstead of buying a computer). Fifth, direct distribution, cutting out
intermediaries (e.g., ITC buying directly from farmers at e-choupals,
and selling to them directly through Choupal Sagar shops
