Bangalore: A group of aspiring scientists had organized a mega
science and IT festival to show their inclination towards environment.
Models displayed at the event focused on providing ways to help save the
planet.
Sourabh Siyal and Tushar Agarwal, students of Christ College,
showcased a model which would pester people to take interest in
environmental issues. Eco-wash, a washing machine was made out of junk
material and ran on mechanical and kinetic energy, without the use of
electricity.
"The junk materials include a discarded plastic bottle, which we used
as a box to wash clothes. A pulley is attached to the plastic bottle to
run the machine. The pulley moves with the help of kinetic energy and
helps to wash clothes," explained Agarwal, who wants to be a scientific
innovator.
"Our idea is to do away with electricity and come up with an
alternative. The washing machine can be useful in big textile
industries. We're planning to give our idea to one of India's leading
garment manufacturing units," said Siyal, who too wanted to pursue
research works in the field of science.
Guided by their teacher in Physics, four students of Outreach school
had designed an 'Earthquake predictor'. "The earthquake predictor is
nothing but a borewell. The borewell is attached to a buzzer. The buzzer
makes sound if the underground water level increases, which means that
the movement of lava in the underground is moving at a faster rate, an
indication of the likelihood of an earthquake. The fast movement of lava
will force the water level to increase, which in turn will make the
buzzer give out signals," said Subramanian K, a student.
Such
innovations imply that if we want to save our environment, there are
various ways to protect it from degraded. Such innovations can fit into
our tech savvy lifestyle and will also save our environment.
